Business Model
Layovered's business model is a freemium approach combined with commission-based revenue.
We offer core features like identifying visa-accessible countries and finding cheap layover flights for free to attract a wide user base. Our primary monetization comes from earning commissions on flight bookings made directly through the app, leveraging our unique layover optimization. In the future, we plan to introduce premium subscription tiers for advanced AI features, exclusive deals, and an ad-free experience, along with potential affiliate partnerships for other travel services.

Competitors
Layovered stands out by uniquely combining visa accessibility with cheap layover flight optimization. While no single competitor does both, we face competition from:
General Flight Search Engines (e.g., Skyscanner, Google Flights, Expedia):These are broad booking platforms that offer multi-city searches but don't integrate visa rules or strategically suggest layovers based on them.
AI Travel Planners (e.g., GuideGeek, Trip Planner AI): These use AI for itinerary creation and general trip planning but don't focus on visa-driven layover optimization.
Visa Services (e.g., Visa2Fly, Atlys): These specialize in visa information and applications but don't offer flight search or layover routing.
Our distinct advantage lies in our AI's ability to link visa-free countries directly to cost-saving flight layover opportunities, differentiating us in the travel tech market.

each other.
Through online platform.
Why did you decide to start this
company?
As a traveler, I couldn't find a platform for my cheap flight and experience tips. So, I built Layovered's MVP. Two months of travel and 100+ traveler feedback confirmed its need.
Are all the founders full-time on this
project?
