There are times when booking through Ryanair over their app gives €X price, but through some 3rd party like Kiwi I might find e.g. €(X*0.5).

However, even though I almost always fly with just a small bag, I still might hesitate taking the 3rd party service because they insist on doing stuff like checking in "for me", which I don't need (since that is a trivial process), and I have experienced them not sending the boarding pass in the time I arrived at the airport.

It's nice that they are cheaper until you realize that you've booked a connecting flight through Kiwi and then realize that Ryanair doesn't offer that service, so you'll be picking up your checked luggage at the layover and the queuing again to check the luggage for the next destination. You miss the connecting flight, good luck with Kiwi. They're notorious for their poor handling of this exact scenario, since the money will have to come out of their pockets. Ryanair can only be held responsible for delays of the first flight.
