Holaday vs TripIt
A free TripIt alternative that files your booking emails and shows what your trips actually cost.
TripIt pioneered forwarding your booking confirmations into a tidy itinerary. Holaday does that too — for free — and adds the two things travellers keep asking for: an honest picture of what a trip cost, and real trips from other people you can clone in a tap.

Why people move from TripIt
If you mostly want your bookings organised and to see where the money went, Holaday does it free — there's no Pro tier gating the useful parts. If you live on real-time flight alerts and fare monitoring, TripIt Pro still leads there, and we'd rather say so than pretend otherwise.
Common questions
- Is Holaday really free?
- Yes — organising your trips is free forever. Holaday earns a commission only if you choose to book something it suggests to fill a gap, and those suggestions are always labelled and never reorder by commission.
- Is Holaday a good TripIt alternative?
- For most travellers, yes: it auto-files booking emails like TripIt, adds honest cost tracking and a map, and lets you clone real trips others have taken — all without a paid tier.
- Can I import my bookings like TripIt?
- Yes. Forward any confirmation to your Holaday inbox and it files the flight, hotel, car or reservation into the right trip automatically.
- Does Holaday track what my trip costs?
- Yes — it totals your bookings into an honest budget so you can see what a trip actually cost, shown as clear bands rather than exposing exact figures on anything you share.
