Pointsme vs. Seats.aero vs. Roame vs.....which is best?
HI, did not see this published before.....AND I am subscribed to premium versions of these 3 sites....
and maybe I am forgetting a fourth one....😂
Does any of these solve the issue for good?
Points.me makes you search day by day which is frustrating.....but has a direct booking link.
Seats.aero only lets you do direct and does not have a booking tool IMO....
and Roame....seems to be very similar to points.me only covers some programs....
Opinions welcome!

There isn't a single "best" award search tool, as each has its strengths and weaknesses.expand_more Here's a breakdown of the three you mentioned:
- Point.me:
- Pros: Easy to use, real-time search across many programs, has a direct booking link (great for beginners).expand_more Free tier with limited searches, paid option for unlimited searches.expand_more
- Cons: Frustrating to search day by day for flexible travel dates.
- Seats.aero:
- Pros: Powerful search for advanced users, allows for complex searches and award hacking strategies.
- Cons: Lacks a user-friendly interface, doesn't search for multi-city trips, no booking tool.exclamation
- Roame:
- Pros: Free, fast search results, covers a decent number of programs, shows multi-cabin itineraries (be cautious!).
- Cons: Limited program coverage compared to paid options, doesn't have all the features of Point.me.exclamation
- Consider your experience level: Point.me is a good starting point for beginners, while Seats.aero caters to advanced users.
- Think about your needs: If booking directly is crucial, Point.me is your best bet. For complex searches, Seats.aero shines.expand_more
- Explore other options: Award Nexus, Expert Flyer, and Award Logic are popular paid tools with even deeper search capabilities.
