The median repost lands 18 minutes late
18 minutes is the difference between a deal and a screenshot.
A repost tells you a Target markdown exists. It does not tell you which store, which aisle, or that the endcap at Mueller is already empty. Goatavo watches the source itself — store inventory endpoints, register scans, drop calendars, portal rates, airline seat maps — and puts it on your lock screen in 4.2 seconds, with the aisle already in the notification body.

Two paths out of the same shelf tag.
Every alert product claims to be fast. Here is the entire chain for one real-shaped event — a Ninja air fryer going from $129.00 to $17.98 at Target Mueller, store 1234 — measured on both routes.

The repost path
26m · 0 left- 0mSame source event
Nobody is watching the endpoint. The four units sit on the endcap in aisle D14.
- 6mSomebody spots it
A shopper photographs the shelf tag and posts it to a Facebook group with no store name.
- 11mReposted
Two deal accounts copy it. One adds an affiliate link to the full-price online listing.
- 18mIt reaches you
The aggregator's digest goes out. No store, no count, no aisle — 'check your Target.'
- 26mYou get there
Mueller sold its four at 7:41, 7:44, 7:52 and 8:03. You drove to a repost of an empty endcap.
The gap between the two rails is 25 minutes and 55.8 seconds — longer than the 25 minutes four air fryers lasted on that endcap, in a store 1.2 miles from you.

One shape. A product, a store, a drop, a bonus, a seat.
Every alert service you have used made you learn a different form for every kind of thing. Goatavo has five fields — watch, where, when, only if, then — and they do not change when the subject does. Below is the same builder filled in five ways. Read the labels, not the values: they are identical.

And the rest of them
A penny item. A portal rate. A gift card discount. A transfer bonus. A bank’s direct-deposit window. A search you saved at Target Mueller. A URL we have never seen before.
Same five fields. If it changes and we can see it, you can put a rule on it — and goat will write the first draft of the rule if you describe it in a sentence.
The dry run
Before you trust an alert, watch last week play back.
Nobody can evaluate an alert product that has not fired yet. So the first thing Goatavo does is run your rule backwards over real events and show you, hour by hour, what you would have been told and whether the thing was still there when you got there.

Run it on your zip code before you believe a word of this.
The dry run is free, it runs before you have an account, and it uses last week’s real events at the stores nearest you. If your area is quiet, it will say so in plain language rather than inventing six deals.
Eight things worth waking up for
Every alert names its source and its clock
A notification that says 'deal alert!' is worth nothing. Every Goatavo push carries what changed, where, how many are left, which source saw it, and how long ago — because those five facts are the entire difference between acting and scrolling.

After the buzz
The notification is not the end of the job
Tapping an alert does not open a browser tab. It opens the card — with the aisle, the on-hand count, who confirmed it and when, the 90-day price line, the resale comps if you want them, and the card that earns the most on this purchase.
Aisle in the bodyD14. The bay number arrives with the price, not three taps later.
Count, not a claim4 left of the 9 that were there this morning — both counts, both stamped.
Who saw it3 scans from contributors at 94%, 91% and 97% accuracy.

Noise control
You are not afraid of missing alerts. You are afraid of 340 of them.
Everybody who has run a cook group knows the failure mode: the alerts are fast, then they are constant, then they are wallpaper, then you turn them off and miss the one that mattered. Four controls exist specifically to stop that, and all four are on by default.
Batching, by your threshold
Anything under the bar you set collects into one digest at 9:00a and 6:00p. Instant is reserved for the rules you actually marked 'I would run for this' — most people have two or three.
Digest at 09:00 and 18:00 · 3 rules instant
Quiet hours, with an override list
22:00 to 06:30, nothing makes a sound. The exceptions are the rules you tag Override — usually one drop and one mistake fare. Everything else waits for the 9:00a digest and says how long it waited.
22:00–06:30 · 2 rules can override
Only if 2+ confirmations
A community shelf claim waits for a second independent scan before it pushes. Endpoint-sourced events don't have to wait, and the notification says which kind it was, every time.
Community events need 2 scans · endpoint 1
Dedupe, across stores and reposts
The same air fryer at three Targets is one notification with three store rows. The same penny item reposted forty times is one line. If a rule fires twice inside 20 minutes, the second one edits the first instead of buzzing again.

Median across the same people, eight weeks in. 2.1 of them arrived instant; the rest waited for 9:00a or 6:00p.
94%
of the alerts people muted in beta were community reposts of something they had already been told. Dedupe catches those before they buzz — it is most of the distance between the 40+ a day an unguarded rule produces and the 11 above.

The Pro lever
The cap is real, and here it is before you install anything
Free is not a demo. Every alert type, every field in the builder, the aisle, the counts and the confirmations are free forever. What Pro buys is delivery: how many rules fire instantly instead of waiting for a digest, and how hard we poll the sources that move slowly.
Said plainly
Lock founding-member pricingThree rules and five instant pushes a day is genuinely enough for one product and one store. It is not enough for a drop calendar, and we are not going to pretend otherwise on the pricing page.
When a free rule gets batched, the notification says so: “held 3h 12m — 2 of 4 left when it was found.” You always know what the cap cost you, in units.
Founding members keep the launch price for as long as the account stays open, and get the 90-day dry run on day one.

Questions from people who time things
Before you arm a single rule
What does 'instant' actually mean, in seconds?+
Median 4.2 seconds from the source event to the push leaving our servers, measured across the beta. The slowest tenth lands inside 11 seconds. After that it is Apple's and Google's push network, which is usually under a second and which we do not control — so the notification carries the detection timestamp and you can see the whole chain yourself.
How do I know you're not just reposting a deal blog 18 minutes late?+
Every alert names its source: retailer endpoint, register scan, brand calendar, airline seat map, portal crawler, or community confirmation. If an alert came from a repost we say so and it is never marked instant. That label is the entire promise.
What happens when a retailer's inventory endpoint is wrong?+
It happens — endpoints lag resets and cycle counts. That is what the confirmation count is for. An endpoint claim with no scan behind it says so on the card, and if two people scan it and get a different price the alert is retracted and everyone who got it is told.
Will this wake me up at 3am?+
Only if you tag a rule Override, and you have to do that per rule. Quiet hours default to 22:00–06:30. A held alert arrives in the morning with the honest line: held 7h 12m, sold out at 04:41.
Can I write a rule for something you don't have a category for?+
Yes. The builder is one shape — watch, where, when, only if, then — and the 'watch' field takes a product, a store, a brand, a search, a route, an offer page or a URL. If it changes and we can see it, you can put a rule on it.
Does the dry run cost anything?+
No. It runs before you have an account and before you have paid for anything, on the last 7 days of real events. That is deliberate — it is the only honest way to sell an alert product that hasn't fired for you yet.
SMS? Email? Or just push?+
Push and email at launch, with a per-rule choice. SMS is on the list for the drop and mistake-fare crowd, where the phone is in a pocket and the window is under ten minutes.
How many alerts will I actually get?+
In beta the median hunter got 11 a day, 2.1 of them instant. The people who got 40+ had written a rule with no guard on it — the builder now warns you before you save one, with the count it would have fired last week.
