### 5/5 — Most Amazing Airfare finder out there!

*2026-08-22*

I just signed up and already booked a trip. 
I had searched on my own via airline apps and travel websites. All I could find were economy tickets for way more money than what I just paid for 2 first class flights round trip! Way to be Ratepunk!!!
I’ll book through this site from now on!

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We’re thrilled to hear you found such a great deal and were able to book two First Class round-trip tickets at an amazing price! We’re glad RatePunk helped you discover an option that worked better than your previous searches. We hope to help you find many more great deals for your future trips. For any questions, contact hi@ratepunk.com.

### 1/5 — Not worth it in Australia

*2026-08-21*

I have read some good reviews for Ratepunk, that could be true if you are searching in a market like US or Europe where you have multiple airlines.
But unfortunately in a country like Australia you can hardly find cheap and bargain deals.
I wouldn’t recommend this app for in Australia or Asia.

**Developer response:** We understand that finding great deals can vary depending on where you’re traveling from. Airline coverage, route availability, demand, seasonality, and the number of competing carriers can all affect the fares available in Australia and Asia. You can set Price Alerts for your preferred airports, destinations, travel class, and specific or flexible dates to increase your chances of finding a suitable deal. For help, contact hi@ratepunk.com.

### 2/5 — Paywall

*2026-08-20, version 4.2.4*

Be prepared to pay more if you want anything other than economy class. You get your subscription click on business class and immediately have to pay more money to see any flights. 
 Seems very misleading or dishonest right from the start.

### 1/5 — False advertising

*2026-08-20, version 4.2.3*

All the prices they quote for flight tickets are incorrect; the prices shown on the webpage change when you click through to the actual booking page. The discounted price displayed is wrong to begin with, and the original price also increases.

### 1/5 — Total scam

*2026-08-19*

I initially signed up because I saw an advertisement on Facebook saying seniors should not be paying high rates for business class and Ratepunk could get tickets for under $2000 for trans Atlantic business class. Their deals are ridiculous unless you want to travel when the deal is and where they are going. If you want tickets to specific locations even if you’re flexible with your schedule, you can’t find any deals. It’s a waste of time and money. Stay away

**Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We’re sorry RatePunk didn’t meet your expectations, particularly when you were looking for Business Class deals for a specific destination. Business Class fares can vary significantly based on route, travel dates, demand, remaining premium-cabin inventory, airline, booking time, and fare conditions. A very low Business Class fare can exist for a particular route and date without being available for every destination or travel period. RatePunk cannot control when or where airlines release these fares. If your destination is fixed but your dates are flexible, we recommend setting up a Price Alert with flexible dates. You can select your preferred departure airport, destination, travel class, and a broader travel window, allowing RatePunk to monitor more possibilities and notify you when a suitable fare appears. This is often more useful than relying only on the deals currently displayed in the feed. We also want to clarify that RatePunk is not intended to guarantee a Business Class ticket below a specific price for every route. Our goal is to help travelers discover and monitor unusually good fares when they become available. If you’d like us to check whether your preferred route is suitable for our alerts, please contact hi@ratepunk.com with your departure airport, destination, and approximate travel dates.

### 1/5 — beware

*2026-08-19*

scam

**Developer response:** We’re sorry you feel this way. RatePunk is a legitimate flight-deal service designed to help travelers discover fares and set Price Alerts for their preferred airports, destinations, dates, and travel class. If you experienced a specific issue, please contact hi@ratepunk.com so we can investigate.

### 1/5 — Not comprehensive

*2026-08-19, version 4.2.3*

Many airlines aren’t included.  Yes there’s low rates to random places but not what I’m looking for and not on all airlines.  Not to mention 4-5 messages a day.

### 1/5 — Please refund my elite membership

*2026-08-15, version 4.2.3*

Useless app. There is no way to cancel your sub this is just a money scam with some useless AI behind it. Elite doesn’t allow search by date. No way to select air carrier. Not useful to people who have jobs and can’t fly any random date. There was no way to contact support.

### 5/5 — Fun

*2026-08-13, version 4.2.3*

Yay

### 1/5 — Impossible to cancel

*2026-08-13, version 4.2.3*

The service cost is misleading, monthly charge is way overpriced, instructions for canceling do not work because when you log in on-line it forces you to the app which does not accommodate cancellation function!
