TableTurn Alternative (Formerly Resy Sniper): No Subscription

George Yates · Founder, SeatSwiper · Updated August 10, 2026

Is there a TableTurn (formerly Resy Sniper) alternative that doesn’t charge a monthly subscription?TableTurn, the reservation tool formerly called Resy Sniper, charges a flat monthly subscription reported at around $50 a month, which you pay every billing cycle whether or not you get a table. SeatSwiper works the other way: your first booking is free, then it is a flat $5 and only on a successful booking, with no subscription and nothing recurring on your statement. It watches Resy, SevenRooms, and OpenTable and books on your own account, in your own name. If SeatSwiper does not get you the table, you do not pay.

If you have been searching for a Resy Sniper alternative, or you typed resysniper into a search box and landed on something called TableTurn, or you are looking at a TABLETURN NYC line on your card statement and wondering what it is, this page is for you. TableTurn is the reservation tool that used to be called Resy Sniper. It helps people book hard-to-get restaurant tables, and it charges a flat monthly subscription, reported at around $50 a month, that you pay every month whether or not you ever get a single table.

I am George Yates, and I built SeatSwiper. I will keep this comparison fair and cite the numbers, because the whole reason I built a different tool was the billing model. SeatSwiper charges nothing until you are actually booked. Before I get to that, here is what TableTurn is, what it costs, and what to look for in any tool like this.

Full disclosure: SeatSwiper is my product. Everything in this guide works without it. The last section explains where it helps and exactly what it costs.

What TableTurn is, and why Resy Sniper searches lead here

TableTurn watches restaurant reservation systems and tries to grab tables the moment they become available. It was originally marketed as Resy Sniper, and the name was later changed to TableTurn. That is why searches for resy sniper and resysniper now tend to point at TableTurn.nyc. According to a 2025 write-up of the business by the newsletter Startup Spells, the tool ‘used to be called Resy Sniper’ and ‘charges $50 a month.’ If you remember signing up for Resy Sniper and now see a charge from TableTurn, that is the same lineage, not a second product.

What TableTurn costs

The pricing model is a subscription. Per that same Startup Spells coverage from early 2025, TableTurn charges roughly $50 a month. Pricing can change, so check their own site for the current figure, but the structure is the part that matters here: a subscription bills on a fixed cycle. You pay the monthly fee whether the tool lands you the table you wanted or lands you nothing at all. In a month where you do not go out, or where every table you chased went to someone faster, the fee is the same. That is the trade-off with any flat monthly plan, and it is worth understanding before you sign up for one.

Why people look up the TABLETURN NYC charge

This is worth understanding before you subscribe to anything. A recurring subscription shows up on your statement every billing cycle under a merchant descriptor, and recurring charges are one of the most common reasons anyone searches a company name to identify a line on their statement. TableTurn’s descriptor, TABLETURN NYC, has turned up on chargeback-lookup sites such as joinchargeback.com, where cardholders look up unfamiliar charges to figure out what they are. To be clear, that is a normal artifact of any monthly subscription and is not evidence of anything improper. It is simply what a flat monthly plan produces: a charge every month that you have to remember, recognize, and cancel yourself if you ever stop using it.

What actually matters when you choose a reservation tool

If you are comparing options, three things matter more than the marketing:

For the tables people actually fight over, see the hardest restaurants to book in NYC. And if you are weighing more than one tool, the TableOne alternative comparison covers another option in this space so you can line them up side by side.

How SeatSwiper is different

SeatSwiper watches Resy, SevenRooms, and OpenTable and books your table the moment one opens or someone cancels, on your own account, in your own name. Nothing is resold or transferred. You get the table. They don’t.

Here is the billing model, which is the whole point of this page. Your first booking is free. After that it is a flat $5, and only on a successful booking. There is no subscription. That means there is never a monthly charge to wonder about, nothing recurring on your statement, and nothing to cancel later. If SeatSwiper does not get you a table, you do not pay. A cancellation watch costs $1 to start, plus the same $5 if and when it wins your table.

SeatSwiper is also the only service that actually books SevenRooms tables. Other tools can alert you when a SevenRooms table opens, but they cannot complete the booking. SeatSwiper can. And it never stores your password. You connect your account with a token handoff on Resy, or the same email-code login OpenTable itself uses, and SeatSwiper books through that connection without ever holding your password.

I will be straight about the limits, because they matter. SeatSwiper works on Resy, SevenRooms, and OpenTable only. It can lose a race for a single table when many people want the same one at the same second. And it needs you to connect your reservation account so it can book as you. What I can tell you is that you are never paying a monthly fee to find that out.

If you came here to replace Resy Sniper or TableTurn, the practical difference is simple. Stop refreshing, start dining, and stop paying a subscription every month for the privilege. Try SeatSwiper on your next hard reservation. Your first booking is free, and you only ever pay the flat $5 when you actually get the table.
