TripCrane
Lock In My Founding Rate

For travelers who know where they want to go

Tell us your dream trips once. We watch the prices.

TripCrane watches flights and 4-star-plus hotels around the clock. Every match has to clear four fixed checks, and you get one email when a trip hits your price.

Lock In My Founding Rate

If the first trip you book through TripCrane doesn't beat a year of subscription fees in savings, full refund. Cancel anytime, one click.

An actual pick, found by the founder's own watch list before TripCrane had a signup page. This is the whole product: that email, when it's true.

You've tried deal alerts. This is the opposite.

60 emails a month, one maybe worth opening
One email, only when your trip clears
Whatever's cheap, wherever it goes
Only the destinations on your list
Spirit at 6am, bag fees at the gate
Airlines and hotels that clear your comfort bar
A base fare that grows at checkout
One total price, every fee counted first

Three steps. Then you just wait for the email.

1

Tell us your dream list.

Destinations you actually want, your comfort bar, your home airport, your budget. About five minutes, and watching starts the same day.

2

We watch. The checks decide.

The scanner runs around the clock. Every match is tested against four fixed rules, and one failure is enough to stop it. Nothing gets waved through because it was close.

3

You get the one email.

Full trip, total price, and the links to book it yourself. Flights go direct to the airline; hotels through our booking partner. Either way, we add no markup to your price.

Need an answer on a specific trip today? Members can also ask on demand, 2 requests a month on Explorer, 4 on First Class.

Four checks before anything reaches you

The comfort bar

No Spirit, no Frontier, no basic economy that doubles in fees at the gate.

Bathrooms, not lobby shots

4 stars and up, 8.8+ review score, and the bathroom photos get inspected. The room you actually have to live in, not the one in the brochure.

One total price

Flight plus hotel, taxes and fees included, before you click anything.

Visa checked

If the trip needs one, you know before you get excited, not after.

Miss one check and it never goes out.

We're new. Here's the deal.

TripCrane just launched. No wall of five-star reviews yet, and we won't fake one. The founder ran the engine on his own dream list first; the Tokyo pick above is his, at $1,012 round trip, 59% below that week's median fare. Founding members keep $29 and $49 for their entire first year because early members are how we get sharp.

The One-Trip-Pays-For-The-Year Guarantee. If the first trip you book through TripCrane doesn't beat a year of subscription fees in savings, full refund.

We compare what you paid against the median price for the same flight and hotel that week, and we show our math. No form, no retention offer, no expiring window.

Cancel in one click from your account. No phone call, no chat bot, no pause trick that restarts your billing. The exit is as easy as the entrance.

Pick how much watching you want.

Explorer

$29 / month

Founding rate, held for your entire first year. Sales tax or VAT added at checkout.

  • 5 dream-trip watches running at once
  • 2 on-demand trip requests a month
  • Every pick clears all four checks
Become a Founding Member

Founding members lock in $29 or $49 for a full year and save $120 to $240 against future members. Once the founding group is full, new members pay $39 and $69; founders keep their lower rate for that first year, then move to the standard price. Both tiers carry the guarantee and one-click cancellation.

TripCrane is a software subscription, not a travel agency. We monitor prices and send alerts; you book the trip yourself. We never take your trip payment and we add no markup to your price.

Questions you're probably asking

How is this different from Going or the other deal-alert apps?

Those tools chase the cheapest fare out of your airport, wherever it goes. TripCrane watches only your own list, holds every match to your comfort bar, and sends one email instead of sixty.

What's a watch? What's an on-demand request?

A watch is a standing order: this destination, this comfort bar, this budget, tell me when it's true. An on-demand request is the reverse: you name a specific trip and we check it now. Explorer runs 5 watches and 2 requests a month; First Class runs 15 and 4, with priority scanning.

Why pay when some alert services are free?

Free alert lists blast you with whatever's cheap and earn on the volume, fit or no fit. TripCrane quietly watches only your dream list and sends one all-in, fully checked trip. And the math is guaranteed: your first booked trip beats a year of subscription fees, or that year comes back.

How does the guarantee actually work?

Book your first trip through a TripCrane alert. We compare what you paid to the median price for the same flight and hotel around those dates. If the savings don't beat a full year of subscription fees, email us and every dollar comes back. It's tied to when you book, not a countdown from signup.

Do you book the trip for me?

No. You get the full details and the links to book it yourself. Flights link straight to the airline; hotels through our booking partner. We never touch your trip payment and never add a markup.

How fast will I get my first pick?

Depends on your list and your budget. Some members match in the first week; a very specific list at a tight budget can take longer, and we'd rather send nothing than pad your inbox. You can always spend an on-demand request to check a trip today.

Set your dream list. Then just wait for one email.

Five minutes of setup, a founding rate held for your whole first year, and a guarantee that your first trip pays for that year, or it's free.
