From review: The Hopper app was created in 2015 by Frederic Lalonde, an ex vice president at Expedia. Based in Montreal and Boston, Hopper has since received over 20 million downloads.
However One recurring complaint has to do with the prize freeze feature on Hopper. Several reviewers commented that despite paying a deposit to freeze their fare at the low rate they wanted, they were ultimately charged more after returning to pay the remainder of the fare. If these reviewers then requested a refund, they were only offered Carrot Cash, rather than the money itself.
Carrot Cash is Hopper's internal reward system, with 1 Carrot Cash being equivalent of 1 USD. The downside to getting Carrot Cash instead of real money back is that you'll only have the option to reuse that money within their app and nowhere else.
Another recurring complaint is that Hopper doesn’t offer the lowest fares available and that they won’t price match if you were to find a cheaper fare elsewhere after already booking through them. Either that or they throw in hidden fees so your fare is actually more expensive than you thought it would be. Many reviewers recommend cross-checking Google Flights, or airlines directly to see how their fares compare.
Reviews also speak to poor customer service, especially in regards to canceled flights.
