About StayScout
We're on a mission to make vacation rentals more affordable for everyone.
Our Mission
The same vacation rental property can cost hundreds of dollars more on one booking platform versus another. Most travelers never find these better prices because manually searching every site is too time-consuming.
StayScout uses advanced AI technology to automatically search across all major booking platforms, verify exact property matches, and show you the best price — saving you time and money on every booking.

Built by travelers, for travelers
StayScout was created out of frustration with overpaying for vacation rentals. After discovering the same property listed at wildly different prices across multiple platforms, we decided to build a tool that would help everyone find the best deals.
