Point.Me Vs Seats.Aero Vs PointsYeah
Looking to sign up for an award search engine and wanted to know which one is best?
So far I have found the following options:
Thinking about an annual plan for one of these services but a bit overwhelmed.
Which one should I go with?
Point.me is a little more expensive (I think I can swing an extra ~$30 a year).
Mainly looking for ease of use, functionalities, timely award seat notifications, insights, accuracy of search results etc.

FYI PointsYeah is pretty good and it’s completely free!

Honestly they are all different so you need to try them out and find the one you like the most.
If you have a free Bilt account, then you can use Point.Me for free via the Bilt website.

Roame and Expert Flyer also have a free tier.
Not sure about the other sites.

I’ve tried all of them.
Seats.aero is way faster to search with, and easier to search broadly, but is way more limited in which routes it indexes.
If you’re looking for something more specific/off the beaten path, point.me probably is better.
If you just want to go somewhere and are happy with big cities, seats.aero might be the thing.

I wasn’t getting a lot of value out of Point.Me, so I canceled it.
I sometimes use Roame.Travel, Seats.Aero and just heard about PointsYeah but nothing really compares to just doing the award searches yourself.

I have used all and Roame.Travel is the fastest.

Expert Flyer has more tools aside from award searches.
It was not designed for user-friendliness the way point.me is.
Totally different audiences.

Thanks for your input, say if I’m only looking for flight award notifications.
Which one then?
I get there are subtle differences in functionalities but my main purpose is for flight alerts.
-
Expert Flyer then.
I don’t think Point.Me has notifications.
Not sure about the other sites.

SeatSpy is also good, especially for Europe.
I got roundtrip business tickets on Air France for four.

Seats.aero all the way.
Saves tons of time and I haven’t had a false positive yet.
Husband used it to find Polaris round trip from SFO to PPT last month.

Expert Flyer award notifications, seat notifications, and equipment changes are priceless but the interface isn’t as good as the other companies.
