TickKet turns the mess of business travel into one place you actually trust. FORWARD IT ONCE, IT'S HANDLED Every traveler has their own private TickKet address. Forward a confirmation, or point your company's travel portal at it, and the trip assembles itself: flights, hotels, cars, dining. No copying details between apps. No spreadsheet. KNOW WHEN IT CHANGES Live flight status with gate changes, delays, and cancellations. Connecting? The Layover tab counts the delay on your inbound flight, and once you're in the air you'll get an alert if your time to make the next one drops under 35 minutes. A security-wait estimate at your departure airport with a "be in line by" time. Destination weather with advisories that mean something: a storm that's worth leaving early for, heat you should pack for. ON YOUR WRIST TickKet for Apple Watch puts your gate, seat, layover and boarding countdown on your watch face, and gets your trip from your iPhone. Live gates need TickKet Plus. Boarding and leave times are estimates, so always go by your airline. RECEIPTS THAT FILE THEMSELVES Scan a receipt and it lands in the right trip pocket automatically, sorted by trip dates. Expense reports stop being a Sunday night problem. HUGO FINDS PLACES NEAR YOUR TRIP Search for dinner near your hotel, coffee near you, a place to work, or food at your airport. Hugo knows which hotel you're in, so you can search near it without typing an address. Each result offers directions and a ride, plus the phone number and website when Apple Maps has them. Results come from Google Maps. FIND THE TABLE, THEN BOOK IT Tap Book on a restaurant to open its booking page. Forward the confirmation and it shows up on your trip timeline. BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO TRAVEL FOR WORK Not a booking site. Not another loyalty tracker. TickKet is the layer on top: the one screen that tells you what's next and what changed. TICKKET PLUS Live flight alerts, destination weather, automatic receipt filing, Hugo and reservations are part of TickKet Plus, a monthly subscription. It includes 40 Hugo searches a month, and 5 during the free trial. New subscribers start with a 7 day free trial. The price for your country is shown in the app before you subscribe.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: OBDLink at free with in-app purchases against TickKet's subscription. OBDLink also leads on ratings volume (13K vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). TickKet's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. OBDLink sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and TickKet sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

TickKet holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OBDLink has 13K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

OBDLink ships an update every 2 months, TickKet every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
