TripOS against the rest of the market, honestly.
Every category of tool below is good at something, and some are better than TripOS at it. This page says where, in the terms the category itself uses. Pick one and read the grid; then read who each one is best for. No single product is named or described.
Sixteen capabilities.
TripOS and advisor CRM and itinerary tools, line by line.
The CRM-first tools built for independent travel advisors: contacts, pipeline, itinerary builder, proposals, forms, invoicing and commission tracking in one place, priced per advisor. They are mature and well liked, and they assume you sell on commission through suppliers rather than from your own inventory.
Each column describes what products in that category typically offer, compiled from public websites, help centres and review listings as of October 2026; it is not a description of any one product. Categories change; if we have something wrong, write to hello@tripos.travel and we will correct it within a week.
Who each one is best for.
The fair recommendation.
Independent advisors who sell on commission and need polished proposals
If you do not hold inventory, sell through consortia and suppliers, and want a tidy CRM with commission tracking and good-looking proposals, this category is affordable and quick to learn.
Choose a CRM tool if commissions are the whole business. Choose TripOS when you need a storefront, inventory, quotes priced from your rates and an AI workforce on one record.
Retreats, group trips and operators whose main problem is collecting and paying out money
If your pain is deposits, instalments, chasing balances and paying guides and hotels abroad, this category is quick to start and does that part very well.
Choose a payments platform if payments are the whole problem. Choose TripOS if you also need the inbox, the quotes, the inventory and the AI drafts.
Advisors and small operators whose product is the itinerary document
If what you deliver is a polished itinerary and a proposal the client can approve, this category does it well and cheaply, with a client app travellers like.
Choose an itinerary builder for documents. Choose TripOS when the quote has to be priced, booked, paid and operated from one place.
Agents who want bookable inventory and packaging on day one
If live flight and hotel inventory with instant booking matters more than your own contracts and brand, this category gives you a bookable site fast and cheaply, with a network behind it.
Choose a marketplace for live packaged inventory at low cost. Choose TripOS for your own rates next to inventory we provide, your own brand across website and app, the inbox, and an AI workforce with approvals.
Large companies with an IT team and a two-year horizon
If you have a hundred users, a finance team that wants ledgers in the system and the budget for a long implementation, this category runs the back office thoroughly.
Choose a legacy system if the back office is the whole requirement and time is not. Choose TripOS when the storefront, the inbox and AI matter as much as the ledger, and you want to be live this month.
A one-person agency with a handful of trips a month
If you sell ten trips a month and remember every customer, a sheet and WhatsApp are fine. The cost arrives with the first colleague, the first missed follow-up and the first month-end that does not add up.
Stay on spreadsheets until the day you cannot see the business from one screen. Then move, with the importer, in an afternoon.
Switching.
Moving to TripOS without losing a booking.
The importer
Export customers, bookings, suppliers and rates from your current tool as CSV or Excel. The importer proposes a mapping, shows the rows it could not read, and loads the rest. Most migrations take an afternoon.
A named person
Every migration gets a success manager who has done it before, from a CRM tool, a payments platform, an itinerary builder, a marketplace, a legacy system or spreadsheets. They run the first import with you and check the numbers against your old system.
Thirty days of overlap
Run both systems for a month. Trips already sold finish where they started; new enquiries land on TripOS. Nothing is cut over on a Friday night, and nothing is lost if you change your mind.
