Pricing | Don't Wait

Free — what you have today

Live wait times for every US-Canada and US-Mexico land border crossing
Historical wait charts (per crossing, per lane type)
Live cameras at every crossing where we've wired a DOT source
Best/worst-time-to-cross analysis from rolling history
Distance-sort by your phone's location
Favorites, synced across your devices with a free account
Optional free account: favorites synced across devices, plus commute alerts, lock-screen tracking and wait reports in the iPhone and Android apps (All features are currently free; some may become part of Don't Wait Pro in the future)

No ads on the free tier today. If we add them later, they'll be a single quiet placement, never inside the wait-time cards.

Pro — coming soon

A paid tier for travelers who cross often and want active alerts.

Push notifications — alert me when the wait at my favorite crossing drops below 20 minutes. (Alerts are in the app now, free for the time being, and may become part of Pro.)
Custom thresholds per crossing — different alert rules for Blaine vs. Detroit-Windsor vs. your daily commute crossing.
Longer history — 6 months of past wait-time data instead of the rolling 30-day window the free tier shows.
Ad-free guarantee for the lifetime of your subscription.
Multiple alert profiles — different rules for weekday commute vs. weekend trips.

Status: The iPhone app is available on the App Store. Push notifications need the app (browsers can't reliably push when the tab is closed). Today, all features are free; some may become part of Pro later.

Pricing details (planned)

Final pricing is TBD, but the target is roughly $3-5 per month or $25-40 per year — comparable to similar utility apps. Lifetime pricing may also be offered at launch. Subscribers get a price-lock for the lifetime of their subscription.

We accept all major credit cards (via Stripe) once the paid tier ships, plus Apple Pay and Google Pay through the native apps.

Refunds

If Pro doesn't work for you, email hello@dontwait.app within 30 days of your first paid month and we'll refund it, no questions asked. Subsequent renewals are refundable for 7 days.
