DomCop is a research layer — Majestic metrics, auction integrations, keyword filters, and expiring-domain catalogs. It helps you decide which names are worth pursuing. Vacato is the alert layer for names you already decided on: continuous RDAP checks, Telegram or Slack pings, and you register at any registrar when a name opens.
Vacato does not replace DomCop's discovery database or SEO scoring. It replaces the spreadsheet and the manual WHOIS refresh after you export keepers. Many investors filter on DomCop (or similar catalogs), paste the shortlist into Vacato, and let 1-minute Pro checks cover the drop window.
