Wanderlog vs Stippl: Which Trip Planner Is Better in 2026?

On this page

The short answer: both are planners for the stage before you book. Pick Wanderlog if you plan around a map of places and want flights and hotels imported for free. Pick Stippl if you want the route, budget, packing list and journal in one free app. Once the trip is booked, we recommend Tineo: it imports booking emails and works offline for free, where both planners charge for at least one of those.

Checked on November 13, 2026. Tineo publishes this guide and is the third app in it. Facts about Wanderlog and Stippl come from their own pages, linked under Sources; we did not test the apps. “Not stated” means those pages do not say.

Why we recommend Tineo

Wanderlog and Stippl help you design a trip. Tineo is a travel itinerary app for what comes next: it turns booking confirmation emails into one organized trip. Use it alongside either planner, or instead of one if your trips are mostly bookings.

• Free email import. Forward any confirmation to [email protected] and it lands in your itinerary. Stippl lists forwarding under Pro, and Wanderlog lists automatic Gmail scanning under Pro.
• Free offline access. Your itinerary opens without a signal on the free plan. Wanderlog lists offline access under Pro.
• Flight updates. Real-time flight updates are part of Tineo Ultra at $4.99 per month or $39.99 per year.
• Works inside Claude and ChatGPT. Connect Tineo to Claude or ChatGPT and ask about a saved trip there.

One honest note: Tineo is not a map-first planner. For choosing places and drawing a route, Wanderlog and Stippl are the better tools.
