The problem it solves

Finding the best hotel rate means opening several booking sites and comparing prices by hand every time you search. It is tedious, and rates change so often that yesterday's research is already out of date.

Who it fits

Travel agencies, hospitality analysts, or frequent travelers who track hotel rates across platforms.

How it works

  1. You provide hotel names, destinations, and travel dates in a spreadsheet
  2. The system fetches current prices for each hotel from multiple booking sites
  3. It extracts price, rating, and amenities from each result
  4. It compares the prices and identifies the cheapest option
  5. The comparison results are saved back to the spreadsheet
What you get

Hotel rates you compare without opening ten tabs

Enter your hotel names and dates and get the cheapest rate across booking sites logged straight to your spreadsheet.

What you get

A spreadsheet showing side-by-side hotel prices and the best available deal for each search.

What you need

A Google Sheets account and a Scrape.do account for web scraping.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
