One-liner
Vacato watches taken domains with scheduled RDAP checks and pings you on Telegram when status looks available — free for 10 names. Alerts only; you register yourself.
Free plan fact
Free forever: 10 domains, 5-minute RDAP, email / push / Telegram. Not a drop-catcher. Details: /blog/free-plan-10-domains
Boilerplate
Vacato (vacato.io) is a domain availability watchlist for investors and founders. Add names you do not own yet; Vacato polls RDAP on a timer and alerts via Telegram, email, or browser push when a name looks available. You register at your own registrar. Vacato does not catch drops, place backorders, or act as a registrar.

- Pro: $7/mo · 100 domains · 1-minute checks · API + MCP · Slack/Discord/webhooks
