Global Entry alert services, compared

The 10 Global Entry alert services we found, ours included, with the price and limits each one states on its own site.

Haya is our product. We wrote this page, the plan recommendations below are all Haya plans, and no service paid to be included or left out. To check us, use the table and the notes: they record what each service's own site said on October 20, 2026.

Most of the paid services here sell a one-time package of text alerts, usually for about a month. Haya works differently: email alerts are free with no expiry, SMS and push are $9.99 a month, and a 30-day pass is $12.99.

Other services' details last checked . Prices and features can change without notice, ours included, so confirm with the service before you pay.

Which Haya plan fits your situation

You want free alerts on lots of centers

Haya Free emails you about openings at any Global Entry, NEXUS, SENTRI or FAST enrollment center you pick, with no credit card and no expiry. Slots more than 30 days out are emailed when we find them. For slots inside 30 days you get a next-morning summary naming the centers where something opened; Pro and the Pass show those times as we find them. The table lists the free tiers elsewhere, which cover fewer centers, run for 30 days or alert only while a browser page is open, though some send near-term slots straight away.

You need to catch a same-week cancellation

Haya Pro, $9.99 a month. Rapid mode checks the one center you most need as often as every 15 seconds, for up to 10 alerts or 30 days, and every other watched center's soonest openings every 5 minutes. Slots inside 30 days, where same-week cancellations show up, go out by email, push and SMS as soon as a check finds them. SMS pauses after every 10 texts until you turn it back on, which keeps the cost down, and email and push are uncapped. Pro is a monthly subscription; the other paid services here charge one-time prices of $2.99 to $29 where they publish one.

You just need one month and then you're done

The 30-day Pass, $12.99, is one payment with no subscription and nothing to cancel, and includes everything in Pro for 30 days. It is our closest match to the one-time packages in the table, and the one to pick if you would rather not think about billing again.

You need several slots at once, for a family or a team

Group alerts, on Pro or a Pass, fire when there is room for 2 to 6 people inside a 30 to 120 minute window, so you can book everyone together instead of catching one seat and starting over. As of October 20, 2026, Global Entry Alerts offers a version of this too; the notes below describe it.

You want alerts only on the dates and times you can actually make

Filters, on Pro or a Pass, narrow alerts by day of the week and by morning or afternoon, and to specific dates, date ranges, or a rolling window such as the next 14 days, so a 7am Tuesday you could never reach doesn't wake you up. Worth knowing before you pay us: WeAlert offers date, weekday and time-of-day filters on its free tier, and several of the paid services here let you set a date limit.

You need NEXUS, SENTRI or FAST, not just Global Entry

Any Haya plan, including Free. Haya lists every center CBP's scheduler publishes for each program, including the NEXUS-only and FAST-only centers and both FAST programs (U.S./Canada and U.S./Mexico). As of October 20, 2026, Global Entry Spotter, Global Entry Alerts and TTP Tracker also list all four programs; the FAQ below has the rest.

A dash means we did not find it on the service's own site when we checked, not that the service can't do it; these services add features often. "Group alerts" means being told when enough openings fall close together for several people to book at once, which is different from the date and time filters several services offer. "Programs" is what each site lets you choose. CBP's scheduler publishes one appointment calendar per enrollment center, so at a center that serves several programs an opening is the same whichever program you applied under; what differs between services is which centers they let you pick. Where a site states no figure, the cell says so rather than guessing.

About this comparison

Haya is made by Merrowa. We have no affiliate, referral or other business relationship with any service listed, and none of them reviewed or approved this page. Product and company names belong to their owners and are used here only to identify each service; using them implies no affiliation or endorsement in either direction. Haya is not affiliated with U.S. Customs and Border Protection or the Department of Homeland Security. If something here is wrong or out of date, email us and we will check it against the service's own site and correct it.

You should try the free options first

Several services in the table have free tiers, and CBP's own app has offered alerts too. In January 2026 CBP added interview-availability alerts for up to five enrollment centers you choose to its Trusted Traveler Programs app. In September 2026 it replaced that app with the Trusted Traveler app, whose page listed application, interview scheduling, renewal and arrival features but not availability alerts when we checked on October 20, 2026. If the app you have alerts on the centers you would actually travel to, use it and don't pay anyone.

There are also open-source tools that watch CBP's public scheduler, if you are comfortable running one yourself. Haya's free tier is the version with nothing to set up: email alerts on any center, across all four programs, at no cost. The paid plans add SMS and push, filters, and group alerts. Either way, find out whether free is enough before you pay anyone, us included.

Haya's availability data comes from CBP's public scheduler, and we publish it as a free, no-auth JSON feed under CC BY 4.0, which the services above are welcome to use too.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best Global Entry appointment alert service?

That turns on your situation, and this answer comes from Haya, one of the services compared here, so check the table rather than taking our word for it. As of October 20, 2026, the text-alert prices the other services published ran from $2.99 to $29, as one-time payments. Haya is free by email with no expiry, $9.99 a month for SMS and push, or $12.99 for a 30-day pass. For a family booking several interviews at once, Haya and Global Entry Alerts offer alerts for groups.

How often do Global Entry alert services check for appointments?

Haya Pro and the 30-day Pass check one center you choose as often as every 15 seconds in rapid mode, which turns off after 10 alerts or 30 days and can be turned back on; every other watched center is checked every 5 minutes, and Haya Free checks every 5 minutes. This answer comes from Haya, one of the services compared here. Where another service states how often it checks, the notes on this page quote it as of October 20, 2026.

Are there free Global Entry appointment alerts?

Yes. As of October 20, 2026, WeAlert (5 centers, email, no account), getglobalentry.com (email, 30 days), TTPRadar (browser alerts while its page is open), TTP Appointments (1 center, email) and TTP Tracker (browser alerts while its page is open, 3 centers) had free tiers, and so does Haya, which we make. Haya's free tier emails you about any Global Entry, NEXUS, SENTRI or FAST center you choose, with no credit card and no expiry. Slots more than 30 days out are emailed when we find them; for slots inside 30 days, free accounts get a next-morning summary naming the centers, and Pro shows the times.

What is the cheapest Global Entry alert service?

For email alerts, several services are free, Haya included. For text alerts, the lowest price we found on October 20, 2026 was getglobalentry.com at $2.99 once. Haya, which we make, is $9.99 a month or $12.99 for a 30-day pass, with SMS and push alongside filters and group alerts. The table has every other price we found.

Does the official CBP Trusted Traveler app already do this?

It might. In January 2026 CBP added alerts to its Trusted Traveler Programs app for interview availability at up to five enrollment centers you choose. In September 2026 CBP replaced that app with a new Trusted Traveler app, and when we checked on October 20, 2026, CBP's page for the new app listed application, interview scheduling, renewal and arrival features without mentioning availability alerts. Check the app itself: if it alerts on the centers you would travel to, you may not need a paid service at all. Haya covers any center across all four programs, with SMS, push, filters and group alerts on the paid plans.

Can an alert service book the Global Entry interview for me?

No. When we checked on October 20, 2026, every other service here said on its own site that it alerts you and you book the slot yourself, and Haya works the same way. You book in your own account at ttp.cbp.dhs.gov, which you sign in to through Login.gov, and Login.gov's Rules of Use prohibit automated access, including automated sign-ins and form submissions, and require you to keep your login information confidential. Don't hand your login to anyone who offers to book for you. Haya never asks for it.

Which services cover NEXUS, SENTRI and FAST?

As of October 20, 2026, going by what each service's own site lists: Haya, Global Entry Spotter, Global Entry Alerts and TTP Tracker list Global Entry, NEXUS, SENTRI and FAST (both borders); TTP Appointments, GlobalEntryTexts and Appointment Scanner list Global Entry, NEXUS and SENTRI; TTPRadar lists Global Entry and SENTRI; WeAlert and getglobalentry.com list Global Entry. CBP's scheduler publishes one appointment calendar per enrollment center rather than one per program, so at a center that serves several programs an opening is the same whichever program you applied under. What differs is which centers a service lets you choose: CBP lists some NEXUS and FAST centers under those programs only, and a service that offers only Global Entry centers can't watch them. Haya doesn't cover TSA PreCheck, which you enroll in through TSA rather than CBP's scheduler.
