The best itinerary builder for travel agents is a person.
Every builder on this page is software you still have to operate. Tripkit is the other kind: trained assistants who build the itineraries for you, inside whichever tool you already use, under your brand — from $200/month.

The part software can't fix
The builder saves clicks. It doesn't save hours.
A good travel agent itinerary builder collapses the formatting: drag-and-drop days, supplier integrations, a reusable content library. What it can't collapse is the work of actually assembling the trip — reading the confirmation emails, checking flight times against transfers, writing the descriptions, picking the photos, catching the gap between checkout and check-in. That still runs 2–4 hours per itinerary, in every tool in the table above.
At Tripkit's entry fare, an hour of that work costs $40 — and it drops as low as $27 on the 20-hour fare. If an hour of your own time sells more than $40 of travel, the math has already made the decision. Run your own numbers in the cost calculator.
| Monthly fare | Price | Per hour |
|---|---|---|
| 5 hours | $200/month | $40 |
| 10 hours | $320/month | $32 |
| 15 hours | $420/month | $28 |
| 20 hours | $540/month | $27 |
No contracts, no minimum term, no onboarding fees — move up or down a fare any month. Full pricing here.
How done-for-you works
Your builder, your brand, our hours
Keep the builder you already use
Our assistants work inside your existing account — Travefy, AXUS, Safari Portal, TravelJoy or Tern. Your templates, your content library, your branding. If you work in something else, ask; chances are we already know it.
We document your style, not the other way around
Onboarding is us studying your templates, tone and preferences — not you running a training program. No onboarding fees, and your first itinerary can be off your plate this week.
Forward the confirmations, get back a finished itinerary
Flights, hotels, transfers, tours — we turn the confirmation pile into a polished, client-ready itinerary while you sell the next trip. All time zones covered, so your desk gets worked while you sleep.
You sign off before anything reaches a client
Everything ships under your brand and your name. Your clients never meet us, never email us, never know we exist — you review, approve, and hit send.
Itinerary builder FAQ
Build it or hand it off? Both answered.
What's the best itinerary builder for travel agents?
It depends on what you sell. Travefy ($39–59/month) is the strongest all-in-one for solo advisors and small agencies; Tern is its closest rival with per-seat pricing. AXUS and Safari Portal produce deeper, design-led documents for luxury and safari programs, and TravelJoy is the cheapest entry if CRM and payments matter more than itinerary polish. We've reviewed all five hands-on — our assistants build in them daily. Whichever you pick, the builder formats the itinerary; it doesn't research, write or assemble it. That labor stays yours unless you hand it off.
Can I outsource itinerary building instead of doing it myself?
Yes — that's exactly what Tripkit is. You forward booking confirmations and trip notes, and a trained assistant builds the itinerary inside your own builder account, in your templates and your tone. You review and sign off before anything reaches a client. Fares start at $200/month for 5 hours, with no contracts and no onboarding fees.
Do you work inside my existing builder account?
Yes. We build in your account in AXUS, Travefy, Safari Portal, TravelJoy and Tern — all day, every day. That means your content library keeps compounding, your branding stays exactly as you set it, and if you ever stop using Tripkit, everything we built is still yours, in your account.
How much does done-for-you itinerary building cost?
Tripkit fares are monthly: 5 hours for $200, 10 for $320, 15 for $420, or 20 for $540. The more hours you take, the less each one costs, and you can move up or down a fare every month — so wave season and the quiet months don't have to cost the same. No contracts, no minimum term, no onboarding fees.
Is there a free itinerary builder for travel agents?
Free trials, yes — a genuinely free professional builder, not really. Travefy runs a 10-day trial with no credit card, and Tern and TravelJoy both offer trials of their paid plans. Docs and spreadsheets are free forever, but they solve the wrong problem: the cost of itineraries was never the software, it's the 2–4 hours of building each one takes.
Do I still need my own builder subscription with Tripkit?
Yes — we're the labor, not the software. You keep the builder you like (or pick one from our reviews), and our assistants do the building inside it. That keeps you in control: your account, your client data, your brand, with Tripkit invisible behind it.

Pick a fare, forward a booking, and see your own template come back finished. If it's not for you, cancel next month — there's no contract to get out of.
