SnagRes Plus

The free account lets you watch 2 restaurants and tells you which dates opened. Plus raises that to 30, shows the exact time slots that opened rather than the dates alone, and extends the visible booking window from 14 days to 30.

Plus is $9.99 a month, or $49.99 for a year, which works out at about $4 a month. Cancel any time.

Plus alerts arrive as instant text messages as well as email. The SMS program page covers what we send, how often, and how to stop.

The difference matters most at the restaurants where prime time never comes back. On those, knowing that a date opened is not enough to decide whether it is worth booking, because the slot in question may be 11:30 PM. Plus tells you which it is before you click through.
