TripCase Alternative Free: 5 Apps Compared After the Shutdown

Disclosure: I built NomadSwipe (Android). It is one option here and a narrower one than the others. Facts checked on 13 November 2026. Updated 13 November 2026.

A free TripCase alternative exists: TripIt's free tier turns forwarded confirmation emails into one itinerary, and KAYAK Trips says it is free. TripCase's app was set to sunset on 1 April 2025, and tripcase.com now redirects to a Sabre page showing a 404.

Key facts

TripCase's app was closing. TripIt's page for former users refers to TripCase shutting down on 1 April 2025, and AlternativeTo quotes the official site saying the app would sunset that day. On 13 November 2026 tripcase.com redirected to a Sabre page that displayed "Error 404".
Free tiers exist, but alerts are the catch. TripIt marks real-time flight alerts, gate information and alternative flights as TripIt Pro, which its pricing page puts at $49 a year.
Platforms differ. TripIt, Wanderlog and Stippl are on Google Play; Tripsy says there is no native Android app yet.
Your old trips may not come with you. Tripsy says it can no longer fetch TripCase data; you need files or emails you kept.

Quick comparison

App	Cost, per its own pages	How trips get in	Android, per Google Play on 13 Nov 2026	Where the free side stops
TripCase (Sabre)	Freemium per AlternativeTo; a subscription existed per TripIt's FAQ	Gathered itinerary information in one place, per AlternativeTo's listing text	App shutting down 1 Apr 2025, per TripIt's page	Not applicable
TripIt	Free tier; TripIt Pro $49 a year	Forward emails to plans@tripit.com, or Inbox Sync	4.7 from 96,762 ratings, 5M+ downloads	3 documents a trip on free; flight alerts and gate reminders are Pro
KAYAK Trips	Page says Trips is free, whichever site you book on	Sign in, "Find my bookings", add bookings automatically	Not stated on its page	Not stated on its page
Wanderlog	Listing calls it completely free; in-app purchases $1.99 to $79.99 per item	Forward emails or connect Gmail; add places from guides	4.7 from 37,944 ratings, 1M+ downloads	Offline access is marked Pro
Stippl	Listing says "free AI travel planner"	Add confirmations to the app; AI-built plans (PRO)	3.7 from 2,200 ratings, 100K+ downloads	AI trip planner is marked PRO
Tripsy	Free plan and paid Pro, per its pricing page	Forward reservations; import a TripCase JSON file	No native Android app; browser view and a waitlist	Its pricing page splits features between Free and Pro; the page text does not show which tier each row sits in
NomadSwipe	Plan without payment with limits; optional Premium	Swipe real places, save them	Android only; 50+ downloads (checked 9 Nov)	Does not read bookings or send flight alerts

Ratings and download bands are the figures Google Play showed for the U.S. English listings on 13 November 2026; a 4.7 from 96,762 ratings and a 3.7 from 2,200 are different sample sizes, so they do not rank the apps. I installed none of them, so each row is what the page says, not how the app behaves.

What happened to TripCase

TripCase was Sabre's itinerary organizer. AlternativeTo's listing text says it gathered travel itinerary information in one place and delivered alerts such as flight delays, gate changes and cancellations. Three things I read today show where it stands. First, tripcase.com sends you to sabre.com/tripcase-sunset/, and the page that loaded showed "Error 404, Page not found". Second, TripIt's page opens with "the news of TripCase shutting down on April 1, 2025". Third, a FlyerTalk thread from 11 February 2025 has a poster saying TripCase emailed that its product would be sunset on 1 April 2025.

I could not read Sabre's own notice: its page is a script-loaded site that rendered the 404, and the Internet Archive copy was blocked to me. So the exact end date for the website, and what Sabre did with stored trip data, are not confirmed here. Posters in an Australian Frequent Flyer thread quote a line about Sabre deleting TripCase trip and traveler data, which is a forum quote, not a source I could check.

Was TripCase free?

Partly, with a paid side. AlternativeTo, a crowd-sourced listing, shows it as freemium and says the free version had limited functionality, while its description says alerts for flight delays, gate changes and cancellations came "free of charge" in the basic app. TripIt's FAQ for ex-TripCase users answers "Can I convert my TripCase subscription to a TripIt Pro subscription?" with "No", which tells you a subscription existed. I found no price, so I do not state one. That matters because real-time alerts are the feature a free replacement has the hardest time matching, as the next section shows.

TripCase features, checked against TripIt's free and Pro lists

TripIt's page for TripCase users lists features it says you will recognise, and tags some of them "(TripIt Pro)". The list below sits next to TripIt's pricing page, to show what stays free. This is a reading of two pages, not a test.

Feature TripIt lists for TripCase users	Tag on the TripCase page	Pricing page
One place for your trips; directions in the city	None	In the free list ("creates a comprehensive itinerary", "shows transportation options", "finds places near your hotel")
Photos, QR codes and PDFs on a trip	None	Free: 3 documents a trip. Pro: 25
Calendar updated with your plans	None	In the free list ("syncs plans with your calendar")
Real-time flight alerts	TripIt Pro	Pro list
Airport terminal and gate information	TripIt Pro	Free list has "airports and terminals maps"; Pro list has terminal and gate reminders
Alternative flights if plans change	TripIt Pro	Pro list ("finds alternate flights")
Sharing trip info with chosen people	TripIt Pro	In the free list ("helps you share plans with others"); Pro adds "updates people on your travel plans"
Passport renewal reminder	TripIt Pro	Pro list

Two things stand out. The free tier covers the itinerary itself, the calendar and the documents (up to a limit), but the things that made TripCase useful on the day of travel, alerts and gate details, sit under Pro. And TripIt's own pages disagree on sharing: one tags it Pro, the other lists it as free, so check the app before you promise a family member a live view.

Moving your trips: what I could verify, in order

Look for what you saved. TripIt's FAQ says you could download a PDF of a plan with TripCase's "Print Itinerary" option, and Tripsy accepts a JSON file of TripCase data but says you must supply it. If TripCase has already deleted your account data, only files and emails you kept will work.
Forward the PDFs and old confirmations to TripIt. Send them to plans@tripit.com, as TripIt's FAQ describes. For future bookings it also lists Inbox Sync, which adds plans from your inbox automatically.
Or try KAYAK Trips. Its page offers "Find my bookings" and "Add your bookings automatically" after you sign in, and says Trips works whichever site you booked on.
If you use Wanderlog, its Play listing says reservations can be imported by forwarding emails or connecting Gmail.
On iPhone or Mac, consider Tripsy. Its TripCase import page describes a JSON import and an AI-assisted route, and tells you to review imported dates and times before you travel.
Test one real alert. Add a flight departing within a week, watch whether a gate or time change reaches your phone, and only then drop your airline's own app.

The alternatives, one at a time

TripIt: the closest fit, and its alerts are paid

TripIt wrote a page for ex-TripCase users and calls itself an "ideal TripCase alternative", which is a vendor's claim about itself. Its Play listing says to forward bookings to plans@tripit.com, share plans with anyone you choose, and keep reservation details available offline, and shows 4.7 from 96,762 ratings with 5M+ downloads. The free tier stops at 3 documents a trip; Pro, at $49 a year on the pricing page and $48.99 in the Play listing, adds alerts and raises the limit to 25 documents. If your company uses SAP Concur, TripIt says you might get Pro at no cost. More: TripIt alternatives and how to use TripIt.

KAYAK Trips: free, with limits not stated

The KAYAK Trips page says "Trips is free" and works no matter where you book, with shared itineraries, editing permissions and real-time updates on cancellations, delays and gate changes. It does not say which phones it runs on, what the account limits, or how bookings are found, so treat it as promising and unconfirmed. The page prompts you to sign in.

Wanderlog: free to start, offline is Pro

The Wanderlog listing calls the app "completely free", lists in-app purchases from $1.99 to $79.99 per item, marks offline access as Pro, and, in a line comparing itself with other apps, says it handles flights, hotels and attractions "like TripIt and Tripcase". It shows 4.7 from 37,944 ratings and 1M+ downloads, updated 2 November 2026. It covers maps, drag-and-drop ordering and group editing more than flight alerts, which the listing does not mention. See Wanderlog alternatives.

Stippl: free to start, with a PRO planner

The Stippl listing opens with "the free AI travel planner and trip organizer" and describes a route planner, a day-by-day builder, a budget tracker, a booking organizer that works offline, and an eSIM store. It also marks the AI trip planner as PRO, so "free" covers the rest. The listing shows 3.7 from 2,200 ratings and 100K+ downloads, updated 7 November 2026. It does not mention flight alerts. See Stippl alternatives.

Tripsy: written for ex-TripCase users, native apps on Apple only

Tripsy's home page positions the app as a modern alternative to TripCase and TripIt, for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch. Its Android page says there is no native Android app yet and offers a browser view at my.tripsy.app plus a waitlist. The pricing page showed an Individual tab with Pro yearly at $19 (listed at $39) and lifetime at $149 (listed at $199), and its home page carried a Black Friday banner. Its Free and Pro columns are drawn as a checklist, so see Tripsy alternatives for what each plan includes.

Where NomadSwipe fits (and where it does not)

The step before the itinerary

I built NomadSwipe, so weigh this with that in mind. It is not a TripCase replacement. It does not read confirmation emails, hold tickets or send flight alerts. It is an Android app for the part TripCase never did: pick a city and it deals real places one card at a time, swipe right or tap Save to keep one, and your saved places are pinned on a trip map where you can plan each day around nearby places. Cards show category, the place's rating, distance and, where hours are known, opening status. In the Play listing screenshots, a long weekend in Lisbon has 16 places, all picked by swiping.

Offline support is narrow: up to 20 saved trips are available offline after you open them online, and the copies expire. The plan without payment has 3 trips, 2 searched places saved to a trip a month and 2 custom pins a month, plus a daily limit on saves. Premium is optional. iPhone is coming soon.

A workable split for a TripCase refugee: keep bookings and alerts in TripIt or KAYAK Trips, and use NomadSwipe to decide what to do once you land.

The free TripCase alternatives are free to start: TripIt (3 documents a trip), Wanderlog (offline is Pro), Stippl (AI planner is PRO) and KAYAK Trips (limits not stated). Tripsy has no Android app.

FAQ

What is a free TripCase alternative?

TripIt has a free tier that builds an itinerary from confirmation emails you forward to plans@tripit.com, and KAYAK Trips says on its page that it is free. Wanderlog and Stippl are free to start on Google Play, each with paid parts. I built NomadSwipe, which does a different job: it helps you choose places in a city by swiping.

Is TripCase still available?

Its app is not, going by the pages I read. TripIt's page refers to TripCase shutting down on 1 April 2025, and tripcase.com redirects to a Sabre page that displayed "Error 404" when I loaded it on 13 November 2026. I could not read Sabre's own notice, so the dates come from TripIt's page and a quote of the official site on AlternativeTo.

Was TripCase free?

Partly. AlternativeTo lists it as freemium with a free version of limited functionality, its description says basic delay and gate-change alerts were free of charge, and TripIt's FAQ for former users asks about converting a TripCase subscription, so a paid tier existed. I did not find a TripCase price on any page I could read, so I leave it out.

Can I move my TripCase trips into another app?

TripIt's page describes printing each itinerary to PDF from TripCase and forwarding the PDFs to plans@tripit.com, and Tripsy accepts a JSON file of exported TripCase data. Tripsy says it can no longer fetch the data from TripCase itself, so you need files you saved earlier, or the original confirmation emails.

Which free alternative has flight alerts?

It depends on the page you believe. TripIt lists real-time flight alerts under TripIt Pro, which its pricing page puts at $49 a year. KAYAK Trips says it gives real-time updates on cancellations, delays and gate changes and that Trips is free. I tested neither, so check an alert on a real booking before you rely on it.

Is there a free TripCase alternative for Android?

TripIt, Wanderlog and Stippl each have a Google Play listing, and the pricing for all three is mixed: a free start plus paid parts. Tripsy has no native Android app; its Android page offers a browser view and a waitlist. I built NomadSwipe, an Android app for choosing places, not for storing bookings.

Is NomadSwipe a TripCase alternative?

No, not for bookings. I built NomadSwipe, an Android app where you swipe real places in a city, save the ones you like and see them pinned on a map to plan each day around nearby places. It does not read confirmation emails or send flight alerts, so it is a companion to an organizer, not a replacement for TripCase.

Is NomadSwipe on iPhone?

Not yet. NomadSwipe is on Google Play for Android phones, and iPhone is coming soon.

Method, sample and limits

On 13 November 2026 I read the TripIt pages for former TripCase users and for pricing, the Google Play listings of TripIt, Wanderlog and Stippl as raw HTML with curl, the KAYAK Trips page, four Tripsy pages (home, Android, pricing and TripCase import), the AlternativeTo entry for TripCase, and two forum threads. I installed none of these apps and tested no feature, so this is what the pages say, not how the apps behave. I could not read Sabre's own TripCase notice (its page rendered a 404 and the archive copy was blocked), so shutdown dates rest on TripIt's page, an AlternativeTo quote and a user's forum post, and I leave out the date the website closed. Prices differ by country and change; Tripsy's showed a sale. NomadSwipe facts come from its Google Play listing and my proof list (50+ downloads on Google Play, last checked 9 November 2026).
