Roameta vs Kayak

A smarter way to book

Book with Roameta

We put in the work for you

Kayak helps you compare travel sites. Roameta helps you actually save. With Price Drop Protection, direct loyalty rewards, and real support. Roameta makes sure you get the best deal after you book, not just before.


Why this comparison matters

Kayak is a familiar name for comparing travel deals, but comparison sites stop helping you the moment you click “book.” Roameta goes further. We don’t just find a low price — we keep working for you even after checkout, automatically rebooking your stay if the price drops.

If you care about transparency, loyalty rewards, and protection that lasts beyond booking day, here’s why Roameta wins.

Key Differences Explained

Real Price Protection, Not Just Price Comparison
Kayak is a great search tool — but once you click “Book,” you’re on your own. If prices drop later, there’s no automatic refund or rebooking.

Roameta’s Price Drop Protection actively monitors your booking and rebooks automatically when prices fall. You get the same stay, for less — no effort needed.
Direct Rewards with Airlines & Hotels
We handle the full booking process for you, so you get the convenience of booking in one place and the loyalty points, elite-qualifying nights, and mileage earnings you’d normally get by booking with the brand.

With Roameta, you get the best of both worlds: loyalty-aligned rewards plus Roameta’s exclusive features, like transparent pricing, price-drop protection, and human support whenever you need it.

Kayak, on the other hand, is only a search tool.
When you’re ready to book, you’re redirected elsewhere — meaning no unified experience, no Roameta-style support, and none of the seamless reward earning that comes from staying in a single platform. You’re essentially on your own.
Transparent Pricing from Start to Finish
Travel planning shouldn’t feel like guesswork. Roameta keeps every step simple: honest rates, clearly stated taxes and fees, and zero hidden charges at checkout. Because your entire booking stays with us, everything is straightforward and easy to understand — so you can book confidently, knowing exactly what you’re paying for.

Kayak, by contrast, sends you elsewhere to complete your booking — and once you’re redirected, pricing can change, fees can appear, and the experience becomes inconsistent. You’re no longer protected by a single platform, which makes it harder to trust the final price or know what you're actually paying for.
Support That Actually Exists
With Roameta, you’re never left to deal with travel problems alone. Our team is here before your trip, during your journey, and after you get home — real humans who can adjust bookings, help with issues, or simply answer a quick question.

Kayak doesn’t handle your booking, so when things go wrong, you’re bounced between airlines, hotels, and third-party sites. There’s no unified support system — just a redirect and no one to turn to when you need help most.

Frequently Asked Questions

We track airline-issued flight credits and e-vouchers. If an airline provides a refund instead of credits, we record that too.

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

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

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