Priceline is a travel agency whose app leans toward hotels, and that shapes its place here. Its US App Store listing promises deals on thousands of domestic and international flights, but most of its advertised savings are on stays: Priceline VIP offers up to 50% off hotels, and Express Deals advertise savings of up to 60%. My Trips keeps reservations available offline, even for bookings made on a computer, and rental cars come from 22 brands in 28,000+ locations. Priceline is part of Booking Holdings, which also owns KAYAK. For a flight-only search it gives less than the metasearch engines above: the listing does not describe flight price alerts or a count of airlines searched. It earns a spot for travelers who need a flight and a cheap hotel and want both on one booking site. We compared documented features and published information; we did not book test trips.
