I don't know if anyone is copying anyone here. Its possible the engines are being licensed from a third party company which would explain the similar look.


Bing's engine was previously a site called Farecast which Microsoft bought. Kayak.com is another startup altogether which developed their application as well. They're definitely different back ends :)


Kayak is ITA's QPX engine on the back end - Lisp :)
