AirHelp vs WairHelp: Which Should You Choose?
If you're searching for an AirHelp alternative, you're probably frustrated with AirHelp's 35% commission fee. You're not alone. Thousands of passengers every month search for a cheaper alternative to AirHelp after discovering how much of their flight compensation goes to fees.
AirHelp was one of the first companies to help passengers claim flight compensation under EU Regulation 261/2004 (EU261). They deserve credit for creating the market. However, their fee structure hasn't evolved with technology. AirHelp still charges 35% of your compensation — and up to 50% if legal action is needed.
On a standard €600 EU261 claim, that means AirHelp takes €210 of your money. On a €400 claim, they take €140. For a €250 claim, they still take €88. These fees add up — and they're far higher than they need to be.
Why WairHelp is the better choice
WairHelp was built from the ground up as an AI-native flight compensation platform. Because our AI handles the entire claims process — eligibility checks, claim filing, airline communication, and tracking — our operating costs are a fraction of AirHelp's.
That's why we can charge a flat fee of $25 (€20 / £20) instead of taking a percentage. Your compensation amount doesn't affect our fee. Whether you're owed €250 or €600, WairHelp charges the same flat rate.
Plus, we offer something AirHelp doesn't: a 90-day money-back guarantee. If your claim hasn't been resolved within 90 days, we refund your fee entirely. No questions asked.

- Anyone looking for a cheaper alternative to AirHelp without sacrificing quality
- Travelers who prefer transparent, flat-fee pricing over percentage-based commissions
- People who want faster claim processing through AI technology rather than manual review
- Anyone who values a money-back guarantee on their claims service
