Questions

How fast are alerts?

A free Scout checks around the clock and emails you the moment your date shows an open slot. Cancelled reservations are usually re-claimed within minutes — faster checks are on the paid plan.

Does it book or claim the reservation for me?

No. It never holds a slot and never books — you get the link the moment your date opens, and claiming it stays in your hands.

What does it cost?

Watching one date is free. More Scouts and faster checks are on the paid plan.
