• doesn't have the alert setup flexibility and power of jackbot
• some pages are failing to load for me. I'm getting 500 responses.
There are others but I think they are all pretty basic: just an email notification when the price hits a certain threshold. We honestly feel jackbot.net is the premium player on the market. That doesn't mean it's for everyone, but we do hope everyone will give it it look!
So the reasons for using our service are:
• alert setup is both easy and powerful
• no need to deal with credit purchases. subscription based.
• reliable and well tested
• price competitive, especially relative to ease of use and features
Btw, I'd love to add payment by crypto! It just wasn't in the plans for phase 1.
thanks for the feedback!
