Your flight was delayed or cancelled. You know you're probably owed compensation under EU261. Now: who do you trust to help you get it? We compare the numbers below — no exaggeration needed, the math speaks for itself.
Last updated: 30 September 2026.
| FlightClaim24 | Skycop | AirHelp | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fee | Fixed: €39 / €60 / €90 | 44% (up to 50% with legal action) | 35% (up to 50% with legal action) |
| Who holds your compensation | Nobody — the airline pays you directly | Skycop collects it first, then pays your share | AirHelp collects it first, then pays your share |
On a €600 claim (long-haul):
| FlightClaim24 | Skycop (44%) | AirHelp (35%) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| You keep — without legal action | €510 (+€174 / +€120) | €336 | €390 |
| You keep — with legal action (up to 50%) | €510 (+€210) | €300 | €300 |
For a family of four on the same flight, that's €480 to €840 more in your pocket, depending on whether legal action is needed.
Compensation agencies that work on commission have to collect your payout from the airline first, calculate their cut, and only then transfer you the rest. That's an extra step — and an extra place things can go wrong or slow down. FlightClaim24 never touches your compensation. We generate your claim letter, you send it, and the airline pays you — directly.
Trustpilot currently (30 September 2026) rates Skycop 2.7/5 ("Poor"), with 38% of reviews at 1 star. Trustpilot's own review summary notes a recurring pattern: "money was often withheld long after airlines had already settled the compensation." Some reviewers report waiting as long as 2.5 years to be paid after the airline had already settled with Skycop.
Trustpilot has also flagged Skycop's profile with a "Breach of guidelines" notice at one point, stating they had removed a number of fake reviews from the company's page. Here's Google's own index of Trustpilot's page confirming it, across three different Trustpilot country domains:

Other services can file a claim for you. FlightClaim24 gives you a professional claim letter, a fee you know upfront, and — because we never hold your money — one less thing that can go wrong.
