Why

This app is a giant advertisement for extras. Avoid

Same prices as other Websites

I didn’t find the site to be any better as far as price. I wish they would stop writing me.

How to stop subscription payments?

I have not used Rate punk successfully and want to stop subscription payments but cannot find where to go to do it.

Elite

I have not been able to access my Elite Account. Despite the Goodwill gesture I cannot access it.

Rates as same as any other fee platform

They are charging for subscription and and the rates as same as any other fee platform. Not worth paid subscription

Response from developer

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear you don't feel the membership provides enough value. Flight prices are set by airlines and booking providers and can change constantly based on availability, demand, fare classes, and real-time pricing updates. Because of this, the same route can sometimes appear at similar prices across different platforms. The value of RatePunk comes from helping travelers save time and find opportunities through features like custom Price Alerts, AI-powered price insights, live Flight Deals, and deal newsletters for paid members. Instead of manually checking multiple websites, travelers can set their preferred routes and receive notifications when prices change or when a good deal becomes available. We understand that every traveler has different needs, and we appreciate your feedback. If you'd like help getting the most out of your membership or setting up personalized alerts, please reach out to us at hi@ratepunk.com.

Just don’t

Skyscanner and other free apps are much better. This is just a gimmick to get you to pay for a standard search engine.

Don’t waste your money!

This app has not been able to find any deals like they promise it does. I actually was able to find much better fares myself!

Two charges on same day. I want to cancel all of it.

Hard to contact to make changes. No customer service phone number.

Impossible to unsubscribe

I subscribed to find out that the affairs are not any better than others. So I 2x already unsubscribed to find out I’m still getting charged.

If I could rate the app less then 1 star I would!

Unethical Bussiness that should be banned. Apart after paying, you cannot access the app. They then try and charge you more to search for higher classes. This is a fake, false advertising Bussiness. Protect your money

Scam App

Scam App took my money and serves nothing

Can’t rate less than one star

It was sure easy to pay for a subscription for this service but the emails telling how to log in don’t match what the web page help says and I can’t even get my account set up because this is all designed so poorly. Buyer beware!!

Waste of money and time

You can’t chose your airline or class of service

Seems okay

Early days, but it seems like it’s legit and not too spammy scammy. Will update if this changes

Scam

You will never get the deals advertised and they switch up the model on you so your membership is worth nothing

No one way deals

No one way deals. Hard to look for multi stops or deals on dates.

No longer useful

New updates make it harder to use. Takes way longer to load deals and often has a higher price once it does load

Rural area Don’t use

If you live in a rural area, this won’t work & the company won’t refund the money you paid to use the app.

Don’t buy

I purchased this app after seeing several ads in facebook claiming exceptional discounts. The purchase stated that it was not refundable, that should have been the hint. The prices are higher than kayak and Google Flight. I wrote to them and they replied that there are other benefits although prices are seldom lower than in the free apps!
I wrote again asking for a refund and they told me to make a claim to Apple, which I did and they refused to refund. In summary, $25 contributed to some billionaire scammer.

Sounds good in theory

I have only had the app a couple of weeks and have casually searched for some flights. Anytime I click on a ‘deal’ the price goes up dramatically taking you to an offsite partner like Kiwi. I have often found these sites unreliable at best. Needless to say for $50ish bucks, (when I stopped with the upsells) I won’t be renewing. I will continue to keep an eye out but it’s probably better to use Google flight tracker to alert you for price changes.
