The best hotel price comparison extensions
A hotel price comparison browser extension checks the same room across many booking sites while you browse, so you can book it for less. Here's an honest look at how the main options compare — including Stayly, which we make.

How to choose the right one
All of these tools do the same core job — surface hotel prices from multiple sources while you browse. The differences that matter most in practice are whether the tool is genuinely free, whether it makes you create an account, how many price sources it checks, and whether it includes the hotel's own direct rate (often the cheapest, and the one most tools miss).
- Want zero friction? Choose a tool that's free and needs no account, so it works the moment you install it.
- Care about the lowest price? Favour tools that check direct hotel rates alongside the big OTAs.
- On a specific browser? Check the supported browsers before installing.
Where Stayly fits
Stayly is free, needs no account, compares 30+ booking sites plus direct hotel rates, and works on Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. If you want to see exactly how it works, read how Stayly works or the full list of booking sites Stayly compares.
Frequently asked questions
What is a hotel price comparison browser extension?
It's a small add-on for your web browser that checks a hotel's price across several booking sites at once while you browse. Instead of opening a dozen tabs, you see the different prices for the same room in one place, so you can book the cheapest option.
Are these hotel extensions free?
Stayly and Directo are free with no account required. RatePunk is free to use and adds a cashback feature that involves signing in. Always confirm current terms on each tool's own site before installing.
Do hotel price extensions check direct hotel rates?
Some do. Stayly and Directo both surface the hotel's own direct rate alongside online travel agency (OTA) prices, which matters because direct rates are often the cheapest and can include perks like free breakfast or flexible cancellation.
