## About Vacato

Vacato is a domain watchlist that checks public RDAP availability and alerts you when a watched domain appears open. Free monitoring covers up to 10 domains with checks every 5 minutes and email, Telegram, and browser push alerts. Pro checks 100 domains every minute and adds full WHOIS insights, scoring, bulk import, domain tags and filters, estimated drop windows, a REST API, and an MCP server; Business covers 500 domains with team watchlists and advanced analytics. It is for founders and domain investors tracking names; users register domains themselves—Vacato is not a registrar or drop-catcher.

## Why it belongs in these categories

- **Developer Tools (primary):** Vacato combines RDAP/domain availability monitoring with REST API and MCP access, making it a practical developer-facing utility for technical users automating domain watchlists. Developer Tools is the best fit for its integrations and programmatic workflows.

## What Vacato does

- **RDAP monitoring** — checks watched domains for availability on a schedule
- **Multi-channel alerts** — email, Telegram, and browser push; Slack, Discord, and webhooks on Pro
- **Watchlists** — up to 10 domains on Free, 100 on Pro, and 500 on Business
- **Bulk import and export** — CSV import on Pro plus CSV and JSON export
- **Domain insights** — WHOIS details, scoring, tags and filters, and estimated drop windows on Pro
- **Developer access** — REST API and MCP server on Pro

## Who it’s for

Domain investors and startup founders tracking expiring, taken, or brandable domains. It suits small portfolios and teams; skip it if you need a registrar, backorder, or drop-catching service.
