May 1, 2023 Location PROXY launched

โœ… Travelers in different countries get very different hotel prices, and travelers could never know which one offers the lowest. Until now.

โœ… The just launched RatePunk proxy always shows IF & WHICH country has the best hotel price. You just need to switch to that country using one of the VPN services & save tens or even hundreds of whatever your currency is!

Here's an example - by connecting to Australian IP address you'd save extra $331!

It has been very hard to get press coverage recently, however, it seems like we've gotten our breakthrough! Let's see what's next.

April 14, 2023 Hotel Price Monitoring LAUNCHED

RatePunk, the FREE ULTIMATE travel browser extension, goes to another level AGAIN.

We just launched the PRICE MONITORING feature.

How does it work?

  1. You install RatePunk if you didn't have it before (but I really hope you did).
  2. You go to booking.com (we'll be adding other OTAs with time).
  3. RatePunk browser extension pops up, and together with the rate score & price comparison, you see a new button saying ACTIVATE PRICE TRACKING.
  4. After clicking it, RatePunk starts tracking THAT HOTEL PRICE & sending you updates about the price changes to your email.

Price monitoring example

A few additional things:

  • You can also find the hotel in your dashboard after logging in to your RatePunk account.
  • You're informed every time the price increases or drops more than 2% of the primary hotel price.
  • If you don't have a RatePunk account (YET!), you'll be requested to fill in your email to get the notifications. However, you won't have access to the dashboard where you can track all of the monitored hotels. I'm just saying it's cooler with an account ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ.
  • The tracking is stopped automatically after the check-out date, so you're not being spammed after it's no longer relevant for you.

Our users already had access to the REBOOKING function. It tracks the price changes after the booking is already confirmed, so the user can rebook it if the rate drops after.

The prices change constantly, and there could be no better price guarantee: you get to track the price BEFORE & AFTER making the booking.

PERSONAL, VIRTUAL, or FREE travel agent? RatePunk says YES.

March 24, 2023 THE EXACT AIRBNB PRICE MATCH LAUNCHED - first in the ๐ŸŒŽ

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.

And although RatePunk has been active on Airbnb for some time now - it was mostly offering similar properties since finding the accurate match for every PRIVATE property is A REAL HASSLE. However - we've finally found a way. No more excuses not to install RatePunk for Airbnb fans - it's a must if you want to save money now.

Here's one of the examples with savings of โ‚ฌ173. Got with one click! And, well, one FREE browser extension ๐Ÿ‘‡

Install & check it out ๐Ÿ‘‰ https://www.ratepunk.com/

RatePunk Airbnb exact match

March 7, 2023 LAUNCHED: review aggregation

If youโ€™ve ever tried to pick a hotel, you know - it might turn into a hassle when the same hotel is rated entirely differently on booking websites. Itโ€™s 7 on TripAdvisor, 10 on Booking, and 5 on Google.

It was annoying us, so we decided to put them all in one place & just launched RATESCORE - the official ๐Ÿ‘‰RatePunk๐Ÿ‘ˆ hotel rating.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

It takes ratings from all major websites & calculates the final one, so you know the most accurate one without any research. It pops up in the list of hotels so you can compare them in between, just like this:

February 3, 2023 LAUNCH: new RatePunk feature for AIRBNB

Our latest upgrade just went live: RatePunk is also available on Airbnb now!

How does it work there? The principle is identical to the original extension: on the Airbnb website, users choose the destination and dates, and the extension pops up after clicking on the wanted option.

RatePunk on Airbnb

THE MAIN BENEFITS OF IT:

โœ… Users find the exact property match just for a lower price. Most often, the stays on Airbnb are also listed on other OTAs, and the price is lower just as often. That's because of the hidden fees (like cleaning, for example) that are a part of the Airbnb price. OTAs don't have them.
โœ… Getting a list of alternatives. The truth is that hotels often offer more comfort and reassurance rather than personally owned & self-serviced Airbnb properties. Maybe you can get similar amenities for the same price, just with room service included?

January 2, 2023 RatePunk REBOOKING launch

One update after another, huh? We just launched our RatePunk Cashback system (you can find more about it here: https://www.indiehackers.com/product/ratepunk/ratepunk-cashback-launch--NJf0q7YgwpATs_poDbX).

And today, we finally got the feature of REBOOKING active! 2023 will be our year of becoming the ULTIMATE travel tool youโ€™ll JUST HAVE to use, count on me. Starting as a free browser extension showing the cheapest hotel deal, we're moving with a free rewards program & free... rebooking option!

RatePunk REBOOKING

This one already has a simple example in the flight industry. If youโ€™re using Google Flights, you must know it has this option to track the price of a specific flight and inform you about the changes by sending updates straight to your inbox. With RatePunk, the main difference is that youโ€™ll have this option after confirming your hotel booking. A notification pops up on the success page offering you the option of receiving an update if the price decreases, letting you cancel that booking then & rebook with the lower price.

This option is not available on non-refundable bookings (because the user canโ€™t cancel the primary booking without losing the money), so RatePunk doesn't pop up after confirming that kind of deal.

INSTALL & TRY IT OUT. FREE. What's a better start to the year than planning a vacation & getting the best deal? Also, don't forget to create an account & get CASHBACK: https://www.ratepunk.com. Just try it all out, really.

Let 2023 be the year of traveling & saving with RatePunk!

December 15, 2022 RatePunk CASHBACK launch

Itโ€™s no secret that our main goal with it is turning our free price-comparing browser extension into an ULTIMATE TRAVEL APP, and we just took one more step forward it.

Cashback in browser extension

We're more than excited to present you our FREE REWARDS PROGRAM. From now on, RatePunk is not only a hotel price comparing browser extension. Now, our users can create a personal RatePunk CASHBACK account, and earn money by... spending it on hotels.

RatePunk CASHBACK lets them earn reward points towards cashback on eligible hotel bookings. After booking by participating providers with the RatePunk browser extension, our users get a chance to earn points on their purchases.

RatePunk Cashback

Every time our users book with Cashback activated, we award them with RatePunk coins. The amount they receive depends on the complete booking value.

Every user will get 10 free coins just for joining the RatePunk cashback: 5 for creating an account and another 5 for activating it. When a benchmark of 100 coins is reached, the $10 cashback can be redeemed.

Free Coins for joining & activating the system

It's still only the first stages of this update: we still haven't included it in our landing page, and it can only be found through the browser extension pop-up. However, we're working on this & have a bunch of new implementations coming together with 2023!

About

10 long hours, 50+ tabs opened on my laptop - I was going crazy comparing prices for the same room booking through different OTAs. Why? Why does it take so long? Now it doesn't. That's what RatePunk is for.
