One-liner
Jetcost is a travel price comparison app that helps users find the cheapest flights and rental cars, with AI-powered suggestions for optimal booking times.
Strengths

- High user trust reflected in 4.64 rating from 2,680 reviews
Weaknesses
- Frequent complaints about inaccurate or outdated car rental availability data

- Limited support for non-European destinations; many reviews mention 'only works for Europe'
- Some users complain about hidden fees not being clearly displayed in search results
- App crashes during peak booking periods (e.g., 'crashed twice while trying to book a flight to Rome')
Opportunities
