Pricing
Axus is priced per advisor seat, which fits small advisor teams proposing trips to individual clients. mTrip is priced as an enterprise platform, which fits agencies, host networks and tour operators managing hundreds to thousands of trips per year across a branded mobile app, web portal, and PDF deliverables.
Choosing Between the Two
- Choose Axus if you are a small advisor team (typically under 5 seats) building client proposals and sharing simple itineraries on a per-seat SaaS pricing model.
- Choose mTrip if you need a fully branded mobile + web + PDF experience with offline depth, broader customization, and integration-ready workflows that scale with tour operations.
Summary
mTrip emphasizes a modern traveler experience, white-label control, offline content, and integration flexibility across app, web, and PDFs. Axus provides a straightforward itinerary builder for advisors; its interface and traveler app are functional yet fairly basic compared to today’s mobile UX standards. For agencies seeking deeper customization, scalability, and design consistency, mTrip offers a more polished and future-proof solution.
Switching from Axus Travel App to mTrip
Moving from a per-seat advisor tool to an enterprise white-label platform is a considered decision. Most agencies and tour operators evaluating the switch have two concerns: how disruptive the migration will be, and how long before their team is productive on the new platform. mTrip handles both through a structured onboarding process refined across 300+ client implementations in 35+ countries since 2009.
What the migration covers
Your existing trip data, client records, and active itineraries do not need to be rebuilt manually. mTrip’s team imports your historical bookings, trip templates, and branded content directly from Axus exports, supplier confirmations, and back-office systems. The itinerary builder consolidates bookings from GDS (Amadeus, Sabre, Travelport), mid-office systems (Tourplan, Moonstride, Ezus, Juniper), and email parsing, so advisor teams stop re-keying data the moment they switch.
Implementation timeline
A standard implementation runs 6 to 12 weeks from kickoff to live launch, depending on the scope of your white-label travel app, the number of integrations required, and your brand publishing requirements. Smaller host agency teams migrating from Axus Curator typically launch in 6 to 8 weeks. Enterprise networks with multi-brand requirements, custom APIs, or corporate duty-of-care modules plan for 10 to 12 weeks.
Publishing your branded app
Axus’s White Label program delivers a lightly co-branded traveler app. mTrip publishes a fully independent mobile app under your agency’s own developer account in the Apple App Store and Google Play, with your icon, name, splash screen, and push notification identity. Travelers download your brand, not mTrip. The app includes offline access, real-time flight updates, in-app messaging between traveler and advisor, and Trip Genius AI-generated daily itineraries.
Team training and adoption
Advisor teams trained on Axus pick up mTrip’s itinerary workflows quickly because the trip-building logic is familiar. The main learning curve is in what mTrip adds: automated booking imports, multi-channel delivery (app, web, PDF), and the AI Import Wizard launched in February 2026 that parses any travel document into a structured itinerary in seconds. Dedicated customer success covers your first 90 days, including advisor training sessions, workflow templates, and brand asset setup.
What changes for your travelers
Travelers already using your Axus-branded experience transition to a richer app under the same agency name, with added offline mode, destination guides, maps, flight alerts, document storage, and trip-sharing features. Existing trips remain accessible through their usual web link during the transition period.
