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!

Response from developer

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear that you haven't found deals that match your expectations. Deal availability depends on your departure airport, destination, travel dates, and current airline offers, so results can vary. We recommend setting up price alerts for your preferred routes so you can be notified when matching deals become available. If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact us at hi@ratepunk.com.

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.

Response from developer

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your experience. If your subscription was canceled correctly before the renewal date, no further charges should occur. If you subscribed directly, you can manage your subscription in the website dashboard under My Profile → Plan & Billing. App Store subscriptions must be canceled through your Apple account settings. We’d be happy to check your account and help clarify any charges. Please contact us at hi@ratepunk.com with the email linked to your account.

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

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

Response from developer

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you’ve had this experience. Ratepunk provides exclusive flight deals based on available offers, and we’re continuously working to deliver valuable deals to our members. Flight availability and prices can change quickly, as they are controlled by airlines and travel providers. If you have any specific examples of deals you were unable to access or concerns about your membership, please contact us at hi@ratepunk.com, and our support team will be happy to look into it.

No one way deals

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

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. Multi-city trips are currently not available on Ratepunk, but we are working towards adding more options in the future. For now, the best workaround is to set up separate alerts or searches for each leg of your journey. When searching for flights or setting up alerts, you can choose between specific dates or flexible dates based on your travel preferences. We also offer one-way deals, which you can select during your search or when creating your alerts. If you have any further questions or need assistance, please feel free to contact us at hi@ratepunk.com.

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.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your experience has been disappointing. We'd like to clarify that RatePunk does not control airline pricing, and flight fares can change quickly due to airline availability, fare classes, and booking provider updates. In some cases, the price shown when a deal is discovered may no longer be available when you proceed to booking, or the booking provider may show a different fare due to real-time changes. RatePunk works by helping travelers discover opportunities and monitor prices, rather than guaranteeing that every displayed deal will always be the lowest available fare. One of the main benefits is our Price Alerts, which allow you to track specific routes and receive notifications when prices change, instead of manually checking flights every day. When you click on a deal, RatePunk may redirect you to a third-party booking provider where the final price, availability, and booking conditions are confirmed. We recommend reviewing the final details before completing any purchase, as those providers manage the booking process and final fare. If you have any questions about your membership or need help navigating the app, please contact us at hi@ratepunk.com, and our team will be happy to assist.

Absolute Scoundrels

I wrote to them asking why I was being charged 3 debits per month. They told me I had been paying that for a year. I am neurospicy and explained this and that I hadn't even downloaded the app and requested a refund. They refused. And the cancellation protocol they provided does not work.
Avoid at all costs

Great

Perfect for tracking flights

14 day satisfaction guarantee is false

I purchased this premium AND elite service, but immediately realized this app is not for me. Apple would not refund my money (decision final on both) and RatePunk would not refund money. DO NOT BUY unless you specifically know what you are getting.
