Indie Hackers, time for vacation - AIRBNB PRICE MATCH LAUNCHED

Hi Indie Hackers,

That's how subtly I'm announcing launching a new feature to RatePunk. But I just can't keep it to myself because it seems that we've found a way to be the 1 in the 🌍 with this update.

Airbnb is a super cool alternative for hotels. However, their additional pricing for things such as cleaning is very questionable.

What if you could book THE IDENTICAL Airbnb on Booking.com - just without the fees? That's exactly what RatePunk NEW FEATURE is for - it finds the exact Airbnb on Booking.com, making sure you ALWAYS get the lowest rate.

Although RatePunk has been active on Airbnb for some time now - it was mostly offering similar properties (which it still does if no exact match is found). That's because finding the accurate match for every PRIVATE property is A REAL HASSLE. The pictures and names are different, and together with an address, these are the main aspects that help us to compare hotel pricing on OTAs. However - we've finally found a way to compare the pictures, and that allows us to show our users the savings they could get by booking it from another OTA (for now it's only Booking, but we're working on implementing more).

Again, it's a slow and complicated process, and I'm sure our devs hate us a bit. However, they said they'd appreciate some feedback. It would mean a lot if you'd check it out, spill it all, and be a part of revolutionizing travel! Or just book a vacation...👉 https://www.ratepunk.com/
