TL;DR
Google Flights is a fare-search tool. TripIt is an itinerary aggregator. They solve different problems.
Side by side
| Google Flights | TripIt | |
|---|---|---|
| Fare search | Yes (best in class) | No |
| Price alerts | Yes | TripIt Pro only |
| Itinerary parsing | No | Yes |
| Live flight tracking | Limited | Limited |
| iOS native experience | Web | App |
| Free | Yes | Yes (Pro paid) |
What both miss
Neither has rich live tracking with Live Activities, Dynamic Island, predictive delays, or family share live links. For that, pair either with FlightyFlow.
