Vortiek vs TripIt
TripIt is a filing cabinet done well: forward your email, get a tidy itinerary. But a tidy itinerary does not clear an upgrade, catch a delayed inbound, or find award space. Organization was solved a decade ago. Intelligence is the frontier.
Credit where due
TripIt is dependable, cross-platform and reasonably priced, and its email-import habit trained millions of travelers. As a pure itinerary manager, it does its job.
