TripIt is excellent at one thing: turning your confirmations into a tidy personal itinerary for solo travel. Venture does that too, then builds out everything a group adventure trip needs around it: the costs, the documents, the crew.
Keep TripIt for business travel. Bring Venture for the trips with a group, with gear, with complexity.

If you fly a lot for work, TripIt is hard to fault. Forward your confirmations and you get one clean itinerary, flight alerts, and a record of where you're meant to be. For an individual traveller managing their own trips, it does the job and does it well.
Adventure trips break that model. They're not one person's itinerary. They're a group, with money to split, documents to collect, gear to coordinate, and a plan everyone has to see. TripIt was never built to carry that, and bolting it on after the fact is where the spreadsheets and group chats creep back in.
Venture starts from the assumption that you're travelling together. The itinerary is shared, not personal. Costs split inside the trip. Each traveller's documents sit in a per-person vault that works offline. Entry rules are checked per nationality. And the organiser can see who's paid and who's uploaded, instead of chasing eight people one message at a time.

For solo work travel, stay with TripIt. For the dive trip, the ski week, the overland route you're organising for a crew, Venture was built for that exact job.
