JobNotify vs Google Alerts

Google Alerts emails when Google finds new pages matching a query. JobNotify emails when a chosen careers page lists a matching job.

A web-index alert is not a job-listing watch.

Feature	JobNotify	Google Alerts
Source	Company careers pages you choose, including ATS and custom boards. Not a job board.	New Google Search results for a topic you follow — news, products, name mentions, etc. (Google Search Help: Create an alert).
Free plan	Free: 3 standard pages, 1 filter, 1 job-title keyword, checked every 24 hours. Protected boards: 0.	Free. Google's Create-an-alert help page does not charge for the product.
Paid plans (USD + GBP)	Starter $3.99/£2.99 mo; Pro $9.99/£6.99 mo; Super $39.99/£29.99 mo. Paid: unlimited standard company pages. Protected boards: 10 / 25 / 100.	None published. Google Alerts is a free Google Search feature; there is no paid Alerts SKU on the help page.
When you hear	Free every 24 hours. Starter every 8 hours (protected every 8 hours). Pro every 30 minutes (protected every 4 hours). Super every 15 minutes (protected every hour).	How often is a setting. The Google Alerts UI (google.com/alerts) offers As-it-happens, At most once a day, and At most once a week. Emails go out when Google finds matching results — not when a careers page first lists a job.
Filters	Title, location, exclude words, and description matching on every plan. Custom filter requests are Super-only.	Search query plus options: how often; types of sites (Automatic, News, Blogs, Web, Video, Books, Discussions, Finance); language; region; how many results; which account receives the alert (google.com/alerts Show options, documented in Google Search Help).

Where Google Alerts is better

Completely free, any search topic, not limited to jobs.
Frequency, source types, language, region, and result volume are configurable in the Google Alerts UI.

Where JobNotify is better

Structured job fields (title, location) instead of a web query.
A known check cadence on the pages you added.

Verdict

Keep Google Alerts for news and page mentions. Use JobNotify for matching roles on company careers pages.
