Specs
Ranked in these QuestionsQuestion Ranking
Pros
Pro Scalable, customized organization
Infinite row/columns and all the separate tabs to play with. Trips can be organized with as many attributes and calculations as you see fit.
Pro Good for budgeting
Since it is a spreadsheet, very easy to calculate budget, and any secondary calculations as well (e.g. cost/day, cost/location, etc.)
Pro Easy to share
Google Sheets are always accessible on the cloud, and easy to control permissions to share with relevant parties.
Pro Easy to export
Physically (printing) and otherwise (converting to excel, attaching to emails).
Pro Cross-platform
Can be accessed from any device via the browser, or Google's iOS and Android apps.
Pro Custom search results
Foursquare learns about what you like from the places you go and the searches you make. The app will give you recommendations based on what you like not what other people search for.
Pro Connects with Facebook and Twitter
Use Foursquare with Facebook and Twitter to see what restaurants and other places your friends recommend. Also get tips from those you follow about places you might not yet know about.
Pro Follow friends and trusted voices
Foursquare lets you follow your friends and other people that you trust to have great taste in food and places. You can view tips left by the people you follow at the places you go.
Cons
Con Not optimized for travel
Unlike travel-specific websites, Sheets won't be able to tell if one link is a flight, and another is a hotel reservation, nor will it be able to know which cells correspond to what leg of the trip.
Con Zero foundation
While there are sample layouts (see Travel planner), it's likely that each person's trip planning needs will be unique enough that it's better to start from scratch. Of course, once you use Sheets for one trip, it'll be easier and faster to set it up for future trips.
