My experience is completely different. I've been using Google flights for 2 years now, it always shows me the best price compared to cheapoair/hipmunk. Also I love the clean UI :)

Yeah, totally right, it could easily be subjective to what you're searching for and when/where. I could have just had bad luck with Google Flights vs what I saw on Hipmunk. Just wondering if anyone knows more about the structure/algorithm of it all and why it may be different so much per site. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I've found some flights to be $100 more on Google Flights than if I went to the airline website itself and booked a flight straight from their website, so you aren't far out there.
