TripIt parses your booking emails and turns them into a trip itinerary. Miles Mosaic tracks your loyalty programme status across the year. If you fly often, you probably want both, but for very different reasons.
Every loyalty programme in one place

Which one is right for you?
A short, honest read on when each tool is the right choice.
When Miles Mosaic is the right choice
Miles Mosaic answers a question TripIt was never built to answer: am I going to make Gold this year, and across which of my programmes? We track 31 loyalty programmes (24 airline and 7 hotel) plus 8 transferable point currencies, each with its own 2026 earning rules and tier thresholds, so a Lufthansa segment, a United fare, and a Hilton stay are not all treated as if they earned the same way. The data comes from you. You log a flight or stay, or paste in your membership numbers and a CSV of past activity, and the engine projects where each programme lands by its qualification deadline, then flags the ones where status is genuinely at risk. There is no booking-email parsing and no account linking, because we never ask for or store your loyalty passwords. Miles Mosaic is a responsive web app and PWA, with no native app, and it does not do award search or booking. Explorer is free, not a trial; Pro is $14.99 per month and adds the status simulator, deeper analytics, and full programme coverage. It is best for someone juggling several programmes who cares more about keeping elite status than about the day-to-day shape of a single trip.
When TripIt is the right choice
TripIt is the right tool when the question is what trips do I have coming up and what does today's itinerary look like. It has been the standard since 2007, and the core job it does well is real: forward a confirmation email, or connect a mailbox, and TripIt parses flights, hotels, and car rentals into one clean, chronological itinerary you can open offline or share. Its strength is consolidation and timing, not loyalty maths. The free tier covers basic itinerary building; the paid annual subscription, TripIt Pro, layers on features such as flight alerts, alternate-flight suggestions, fare refund monitoring, and a point-tracking view that surfaces balances and some expiration reminders. That point tracking is balance-and-expiry oriented rather than a programme-by-programme projection of whether you will requalify for a specific tier under current rules. TripIt also relies on reading your travel emails to work, which is exactly the convenience some travellers want and exactly the access others would rather not grant. For trip organisation it is excellent, and pairing it with Miles Mosaic covers both halves of the problem.
Who TripIt suits, and who it does not
The short version, before the detail below. We would rather send you to the right tool than win a signup you regret.
TripIt is a good fit for
- Frequent flyers who want every booking email turned into one tidy, shareable, offline itinerary
- Travellers who value flight alerts, gate changes, and alternate-flight suggestions on the day
- People comfortable letting an app read their travel confirmation emails in exchange for automation
TripIt is a poor fit for
- Anyone whose main question is whether they will requalify for a specific elite tier this year
- Travellers who do not want any app reading their inbox or connecting to their accounts
- People tracking many programmes who need accurate, rule-aware earning projections rather than balances
Frequently asked
Can I use both?
Yes, that is the recommended setup. Use TripIt for trip itineraries and on-the-day alerts, and Miles Mosaic for cross-programme loyalty status and tier forecasting. They solve different halves of the problem.
Does Miles Mosaic parse my booking emails?
No. We never read your email or connect to Gmail or Outlook, and there is no account linking. You enter or import the activity you want tracked, and we never ask for or store your loyalty passwords.
Does TripIt show my elite status progress?
TripIt Pro includes a point-tracking view that surfaces balances and some expiration reminders, but that is balance oriented rather than a programme-by-programme projection of whether you will requalify for a specific tier under current rules. Miles Mosaic focuses on that cumulative status forecast across your portfolio.
Is there a native app, and does Miles Mosaic book flights?
Miles Mosaic is a responsive web app and PWA, with no native app, and it does not do award search or booking. It is a tracking and forecasting tool. TripIt offers native mobile apps for itinerary management; it is not a booking engine either.

How we compare
Claims about TripIt on this page reflect its publicly available documentation, features and pricing as last checked on . We compare on the dimensions that matter for cross-programme loyalty tracking: what each tool tracks, how it obtains your data, elite-status forecasting, pricing, and the privacy and credential model. We do not exhaustively test every paid feature of competing products, and programmes change their terms, so confirm current details on each provider's own site. This page is updated when a competitor changes its public terms.
This comparison was built from Miles Mosaic's own product behaviour and TripIt's publicly documented features on tripit.com and its help centre as of June 2026. We did not test a paid TripIt Pro account end to end, and TripIt's exact Pro price and feature set can change, so specific numbers were left out where we were not confident.
