Is Hopper or Google Flights better?

While both platforms aim to help users book when prices are the lowest, Google Flights focuses on real-time insights, whereas Hopper's algorithm relies on historical analysis, claiming a 95% accuracy rate. While Hopper flights can tell you the best time to book, their name is nowhere near as recognizable as Google.
