WaypointsX vs Axus
As of September 2026.
Axus's public strengths are a live flight database and a branded client app that spans beginner to luxury advisors: real, useful differentiators that WaypointsX doesn't have. What Axus doesn't document publicly is confirmation import, e-signature, card authorisation or commission tracking, all of which are core, documented mechanisms in WaypointsX. If live flight tracking and a branded mobile app matter most to your clients, that's a genuine trade-off against WaypointsX's confirmation-to-booking pipeline and native signing.
How they compare
| Feature | WaypointsX | Axus |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Advisor $59/mo, or $49/mo billed annually (one seat). Studio $119/mo (two seats, then $39/seat). Agency $299/mo (five seats, then $39/seat). 14-day free trial, no credit card to start. | $29–$35 per user monthly; $289–$329 per user yearly. |
| Itinerary builder | The itinerary is an output of the trip record, not a blank page: bookings, deadlines and documents already on the trip flow into it, and the assistant only proposes tracked changes. It never applies them silently. | Drag-and-drop, PDF and web output, a branded client app, and a live flight database. |
| Confirmation import | Yes Forward a supplier confirmation; fields are extracted with confidence scores and source quotes, the advisor reviews and accepts, then the booking, itinerary items, deadlines and expected commission are created. | Not documented publicly Not documented publicly. |
| E-signature | Yes Waypoints Sign is native: templates auto-fill from the trip, signers get an emailed one-time code, consent is versioned, signatures are typed or drawn, and sequential signers with countersigning are supported. Unlimited signing on every plan. | Not documented publicly Not documented publicly. |
| Card authorisation handling | Yes Card authorisation is captured as a signed document. With a card vault connected, reveals are logged for the advisor to see; without one, card capture goes through Stripe tokens that can't be revealed to anyone, including WaypointsX. | Not documented publicly Not documented publicly. |
| Commission tracking | Yes Every booking carries an expected commission and expected date. Statements reconcile from CSV deterministically, or from PDF with AI, and overdue commissions can generate a chase draft. | Not documented publicly Not documented publicly. |
| Client portal | Yes Clients approve proposals, comment, sign documents, pay, upload passports, see a live itinerary and message the advisor, in one portal. | Partial A branded client app is listed among its features; how much it does beyond viewing isn't documented publicly. |
| AI | Yes An itinerary assistant proposes tracked changes tagged by provenance (confirmed, library, suggested, advisor), with a publish gate on anything unverified. AI also assists statement reconciliation from PDF. | Partial Described generically as 'AI-powered' analytics, without specifics. |
| Data export | Yes An export guarantee: every trip, client, document and commission record exports on demand, on every plan. | Not documented publicly Not documented publicly. |
What a forwarded confirmation actually becomes
Axus doesn't document confirmation import publicly. WaypointsX extracts fields with confidence and source quotes, and an advisor's review turns a forwarded confirmation into a booking with itinerary items, deadlines and expected commission attached.
Signing and card authorisation, native rather than sourced elsewhere
Axus doesn't document e-signature or card authorisation. Waypoints Sign is unlimited on every WaypointsX plan, and card authorisation is captured as a signed document backed by a card vault with logged reveals once connected.
Commissions tracked against expected dates
Axus doesn't document commission tracking publicly. WaypointsX attaches an expected commission and expected date to every booking and reconciles statements from CSV or PDF.
Where Axus is the better fit
If a live flight database and a branded, client-facing mobile app are what your clients expect, Axus documents both clearly and WaypointsX has neither today.
Switching from Axus
Your existing client and trip data comes into WaypointsX as a CSV import, and everything you build exports back out on demand, on every plan. There is no purpose-built Axus importer beyond CSV today.
Frequently asked questions
- Does WaypointsX have a live flight database like Axus?
- No. WaypointsX doesn't have a live flight database or a branded client mobile app the way Axus does: that's a genuine Axus strength worth weighing if your clients expect it.
- Does WaypointsX import confirmations the way Axus does?
- Axus's confirmation-import capability isn't documented publicly, so we can't compare directly. WaypointsX's is documented: forward a confirmation, review the extracted fields and source quotes, and accept to create the booking and its deadlines.
- Is Axus's e-signature comparable to Waypoints Sign?
- We can't say: e-signature isn't documented on Axus's public pages. Waypoints Sign includes an emailed one-time code, versioned consent, typed or drawn signatures, and sequential signers with countersigning, unlimited on every plan.
