The service from the HHonors site is called RewardPlanner, and seems to offer a similar service as what AwardPlanner offers. (I stress "seems" because I know nothing about RewardPlanner beyond what is on the HH site.)

They appear to be able to do planning for both HH and other award program redemptions. It doesn't explicitly say that they book non-award travel, but I can't imagine that they don't, given that a combo trip would result in commissions for the agent in most cases.

You pay for your yearly service with HHonors points instead of cash. If both services are equal (and I have no idea whether they are), AwardPlanner at $49 is a better value for most uses of an HHonors point.

(The reason I am reading/posting to this thread is actually to learn more about AwardPlanner, Webflyer's service. If anyone has any experiences with them that haven't already been posted to this board, please share them!)
