About Hopper

Hopper is a travel app born in Montreal in 2007. It predicts how flight and hotel prices are likely to change and tells you whether to book now or wait. The app uses data to watch prices for you, so you do not have to check every day.

It suits budget-minded travellers, students planning a trip home and families booking a holiday well in advance. Set a price watch on the route you want, such as Montreal to a sunny destination for the March break, and let the app send alerts. It is also a good example of a Montreal tech company that grew into a widely used international app.
