Roameta vs Hopper

Transparent, traveler-first booking with Roameta’s Price Drop Protection vs. Hopper’s Price Freeze. Which is right for your next trip?

Which travel app really puts travellers first?

Both Roameta and Hopper promise to help you save money when booking hotels and flights. But only one gives you true protection, real rewards, and the kind of support you'd expect a trusted travel partner.

Why this comparison matters

Hopper is one of the most downloaded travel apps, but popularity doesn’t always mean it’s the best for travellers. At Roameta, we believe in transparency, simplicity, and savings that actually reach your pocket. That’s why we’ve built features like Price Drop Protection and direct airline + hotel rewards integration that Hopper simply can’t match.

	Roameta	Hopper
Price Protection	Automatic Price Drop Protection. If your hotel rate drops, we rebook instantly. No limits.	Price Freeze requires a deposit. Coverage capped at deposit amount.
Transparency	No hidden fees. What you see is what you pay.	You’re often left confused when it’s actually time to book your flight or stay.
Rewards	Earn points directly with airlines & hotels (Marriott Bonvoy, Aeroplan, etc.).	On hotel bookings, you earn Hopper “Carrot Cash” (usable only within Hopper).
Customer Support	24/7 real human agents by phone, plus in-person at BNW Travel offices.	Mostly in-app support, limited access to agents.

Expiry depends on the airline’s policy, but we display available validity dates in your Roameta dashboard whenever possible.

Can I transfer credits to someone else?

Most airlines restrict credits to the original traveler. If transfer is allowed, we’ll let you know.

What happens if I cancel outside the app?

No problem, just contact our support team and we’ll add the credits to your account so everything stays organized.
