What made Trail Wallet good?
It was fast. You opened it, typed a cost, and saw if you were under or over your daily budget. Any replacement should keep that: logging a cost should take seconds, not minutes.
What should I look for in a replacement?
- A separate budget for each trip, with a daily figure.
- Costs in any currency, converted for you.
- Offline logging, because the best stories happen far from Wi-Fi.
- Simple categories, so you can see where money goes.
How does Tripence fit?
Tripence keeps the quick daily idea and adds two things: live exchange rates for any currency, and AI receipt scanning, so you can snap a receipt instead of typing it. You check what the AI read before you save. It works offline and syncs when you are back online.
One honest limit: Tripence is Android only. If you are on iPhone, it is not an option yet.
