Free, on purpose.
First Wave costs nothing to use. Build your plan, get alerts the moment NYRR opens a window, see when to claim your marathon entry — all of it, no paywall.
No subscription
We charge nothing. Not now, not later. Once you build a plan we watch every batch for every race you picked, and we tell you the second something changes.
No ads, no sponsors
We don’t sell your attention. No banner on your dashboard, no tracked email, no NYRR partnership. The only thing we want for your eyes is the alert.
Tips, not pricing
When you flip on notifications we ask once if you want to tip. Skip is a valid answer. The tip jar keeps the lights on and pays for the parser that watches NYRR.
What we won’t do
Lock alerts behind a paywall. Time-gate features. Cap how many races you can track. Sell your email or phone. Pretend to be official.
