Snagfly vs Triips
Triips is a subscription cheap-flight club that curates discounted, short-lived fares and broadcasts them to all members — about $99/year. Snagfly watches only the destinations you actually pin and emails you when those specific fares drop 50–90%. Here's how the two stack up.

Key takeaways
- Targeting: Snagfly watches the specific destinations you pin; Triips broadcasts the same curated deals to every member, including places you'll never visit.
- Price: Snagfly is $29.99/year or $3.99/month with a free 7-day trial — under a third of Triips' ~$99/year.
- Honest baseline: Snagfly alerts fire only at ≥50% below the verified 90-day median (up to 90% off); Triips' curated fares aren't measured against a published baseline.
- Restraint & no markup: hard email caps (≤3/week, ≤1/day), and you book direct with the airline — no markup, no upsell.
- Triips' one edge: a wide, curated feed and a fast-growing 100,000+ member community, if you like browsing whatever's cheap.
Quick verdict
For travelers who already know where they want to go, Snagfly is the better pick: you pin the specific destinations you dream about, hear only about those exact routes at a verified 50–90% off, and pay under a third of Triips' price — with hard email caps and a free 7-day trial. Triips is a reasonable option if you enjoy browsing a wide feed of whatever's cheap right now. But if you value signal over a broadcast feed, Snagfly wins.

How each one works
Triips
Triips (triips.com) is a subscription cheap-flight club that rebranded from "Fair Fare Club" in 2026 and reports more than 100,000 members. Its deal-finders curate discounted and short-lived fares — including occasional mistake fares — and broadcast the same deals to all members, so everyone on the list sees the same fares. Membership runs about $99/year (roughly $8.25/month) with a 7-day free trial and a single global price. Because deals are sent to everyone, popular fares can move quickly, so it's worth verifying a fare before you book.
Snagfly
Snagfly flips the model. Instead of broadcasting every deal to every member, you pin the destinations you actually want to fly to, and Snagfly's AI monitors fares for those exact routes 24/7. You only get an alert when a fare drops at least 50% below the rolling 90-day median for that route — a verified baseline, not an inflated "anchor" price. Alerts are hard-capped at three per week and one per day, and you book directly with the airline.
Where Snagfly has the edge
You pin destinations
You hear about the exact places you pinned — not every curated deal that gets broadcast to the whole list.
Under a third of the price
One plan with everything included — $29.99/year (or $3.99/month) vs Triips' ~$99/year, and every membership starts with a free 7-day trial.
Verified baselines & capped email
A "deal" is measured against the real 90-day median fare, and alerts are hard-capped at three a week, one a day.
Save up to 90%
Alerts only fire when a fare drops 50% or more below the verified rolling 90-day median — and many deals reach up to 90% off.
Where Triips might suit you
To be fair, Triips is a real, fast-growing club with 100,000+ members and a wide curated feed for flexible travelers who like browsing whatever's cheap right now. But it's a broadcast model — the same deals go to everyone, to destinations you may never visit, at about $99/year with no published baseline for what counts as a deal. Snagfly takes the opposite approach: you pin the specific destinations you want, hear only about those at a verified 50–90% off, and pay under a third as much. If you want a Triips alternative built around your own wishlist, Snagfly is the better match.
