ResTracker vs TableSwap
Updated August 16, 2026 · Written by the ResTracker team, who make one of the two services compared here
The short answer
TableSwap mostly sends alerts and booking links rather than booking for you, costs $15/mo and covers US plus some international cities. ResTracker costs $9.99 or $19.99/mo with no per-booking fee, auto-books on Resy, works at any Resy or OpenTable restaurant in any city, and has a 30-day free trial with no card. Where TableSwap fits best: diners who want a conversational assistant and international coverage.

What TableSwap does
TableSwap runs as an AI assistant over iMessage. You tell it what you want, it watches Resy, OpenTable and SevenRooms, and it messages back with times and booking links. For a short list of very hard restaurants the team will phone the restaurant for you. It is closer to a concierge than to a booking bot.
Listed at $15 per month with no per-reservation charges when we checked. TableSwap has changed its pricing more than once in the past year, including a period at $25 per month plus $75 per successful reservation, so confirm the current number before subscribing.
