Read full descriptionHide full description
StayHawk is the trip companion that's along for the whole trip, from the moment you book to the day you're home. Forward a confirmation email and StayHawk keeps watch: cancellation deadlines and stay prices before you go, your day while you travel, and a recap when you're back. BEFORE YOU GO • Every cancellation deadline, watched. A countdown on every booking and an alert before each free-cancellation window closes. • Price drops on stays you already booked. StayHawk checks rates every day and tells you when a lower refundable rate appears, while you can still cancel and rebook. You decide: StayHawk never rebooks for you. • Every booking in one place: stays, flights, trains, coaches, ferries, car rentals and activities. Forward the confirmation to inbox@stayhawk.app, or add a booking by hand. • Trips on one timeline, with what's still due, trip by trip. WHILE YOU TRAVEL • Your day, live. Home opens on today: what's on now and next, which day of the trip you're on, and directions to the next stop. • Snaps. Photograph the room, the view, the wifi sign or the parking spot. StayHawk files them by day and finds the photos you took during the stay. • Share a photo as a Story card, straight to Instagram Stories. • Expenses from a screenshot. Pick a receipt or payment screenshot and the expense fills itself, in any of 50 currencies. • Offline: saved trips and bookings still open without a connection. • Notifications open the booking they're about. WHEN YOU'RE HOME • Trip recap: your trip as a short story, with the numbers, photos by day, what it cost and what StayHawk caught, plus a card to share. • My World: every trip you've finished on your own world map. Zoom into the stays and activities, or replay your year trip by trip. • Share a private, read-only link to your trip. It never shows prices, booking references or personal details. FOR TRAVEL ADVISORS Independent agencies get a shared workspace for client bookings, with client labels and deadline alerts across the whole portfolio. PRIVATE BY DESIGN StayHawk never reads your mailbox. You forward only the confirmations you choose, and StayHawk does not sell your data. Start free: forward your first confirmation email. No card needed.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: StayHawk at none against MimiScout's 1. MimiScout's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 10 days) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
