What Bahnsparer can do
Every feature at a glance – from search to compensation.
Before booking
Fare calendar
Two weeks at a glance, with fare and journey time for each day on your route.
Price alerts
Watch a travel day or date range for new lows, with an optional price limit.
Reliability
For each connection, see how often it arrived on time and when it usually reached the destination.
Recommendation
Highlights the lowest fare, best balance and fastest option using fare, journey time and reliability.
Occupancy
Shows how busy the train is expected to be where DB provides that data.
Travellers & options
Add BahnCards, children, a dog and a bicycle, and optionally include first class.
Intermediate stops & second destination
Plan a journey through a chosen stop or compare two destination stations directly.
Trip import
Optionally import booked trips from your DB account, DB Navigator or bahn.de.
Weekly journeys
Keep watching selected weekdays automatically, for regular commuter routes.
When booking
Provider comparison
Check the same journey with ČD, ÖBB, PKP, MÁV, SNCF, European Sleeper or Snälltåget, often for less. FlixTrain, Westbahn, Leo Express and GoVolta are compared too.
Cheaper seat reservations
ČD, MÁV and ÖBB also reserve seats on German ICE and IC trains, typically for 44% less than DB.
Split-Tickets
Checks segments that match the connection exactly; splitting the ticket does not itself require a transfer.
Deutschlandticket
Accounts for the pass across your whole travel party and shows when regional services are the better option.
Sort & filter
Order by recommendation, fare, journey time, reliability or safer transfers.
Price history
Track previous fares and connections for your route.
During the journey
Live journey guidance
DB's current arrival time, platforms and adopted replacement connections without searching other apps.
Carriage order
See the platform, carriages and unreserved sections in your class.
Transfer assessment
Assess whether a transfer is likely to work live, alongside how often comparable transfers worked in the past.
Passenger rights
Estimate possible compensation (25–50% from 60 minutes late), share the facts and open the claim process.
Journey statistics
Review the trains you recorded, their punctuality and delays.
Journey summary
Compare the fare paid with observed prices to calculate an actual saving.
