otsuka vs TripIt
TripIt organizes what you've booked: forward a confirmation email and your flights, hotels and cars land on one itinerary. otsuka plans what you do between them, and rearranges the day when it rains or you're tired. Plenty of travellers could use both.

Where TripIt is better
- Everything about bookings: confirmation emails turned into one itinerary without typing.
- Flights: alerts, gate changes, other flights when one is cancelled, fare and seat tracking (Pro).
- Airports: maps and when to leave (Pro).
- It runs on nearly everything, and has a free version.
Where otsuka is different
- It decides what to do with the days: real places, every day, with times.
- When the day changes, it moves the plan: rain, a tired day, one thing moved without breaking the rest.
- No account, and nothing needs forwarding.
Which one
Pick TripIt if your trips are mostly flights and hotels to keep track of, especially for work.
Pick otsuka if you want the days planned and kept workable when things change. The two don't overlap much: TripIt for getting there, otsuka for what you do there.
iPhone only. A subscription: $39.99 a year, or $7.99 a month with the first month at $0.99 for new subscribers. There is no free version.
