US employers must file a WARN Act notice with the state before a mass layoff. Those notices are public, but they land on 39 different state portals in 39 different formats, on no schedule. WARN Watch runs your list of employers — and whole states if you want them — against every notice we collect, every day, for a year. Matches appear on your own alert page and RSS feed within a refresh cycle of us seeing them.
| Source | What it does | Coverage | Delivery | Price | Honest note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| WARN Watch (this page) | Your list of employers and/or states, checked against every new notice on every daily refresh | 39 states | Alert page + RSS feed (email in progress) | $49 / year, one payment | No email alerts yet — that is the honest gap versus the alternatives below. |
| The free WARN Feed dataset (ours) | The whole normalized dataset as CSV/JSON, no login, refreshed daily — you write the matching | 39 states | You build it | Free, CC BY 4.0 | If you are comfortable diffing a CSV on a schedule, do this instead and keep your $49. |
| kadoa-org/layoffs-tracker | A free, actively maintained open dataset and dashboard of US WARN notices, regenerated daily | 46 states (per its repo, checked 2026-09-02) | Dashboard + JSON download | Free, MIT | Broader state coverage than us and genuinely good. It is a dataset, not a per-customer watch: nothing there runs your company list every morning. |
| Layoff Lookout | Per-company WARN email alerts, per its public pricing page | 17 states (its own site, checked 2026-09-02) | Email alerts | $2/mo for 1 company, +$1/mo per extra (max 5); $99/mo unlimited | Sends real email, which we do not yet. Cheapest option if you watch one or two companies and they are in its 17 states. |
| WARNTracker | Weekly email digest of all new notices, per its public pricing page | National | Email digest + dashboard | $250/mo | Built for teams who want every notice, not a filtered watch on named employers. |
Competitor rows are read from each vendor's own public pricing page (checked 2026-09-02); our rows come from this pipeline's live coverage file (generated 2026-09-03). If a price here is out of date, tell us and we will fix it — open an issue.
45,755 normalized notices across 39 states, newest notice on file 2026-09-01, rebuilt every day. The dataset itself is free and open (CC BY 4.0) — you are not paying for records, you are paying for someone to run your list against them every morning for a year and hand you only what changed. If you would rather build that yourself, the files are right there and we will not be offended.

Questions before or after buying: the Contact link on the Gumroad page, or open a GitHub issue — issues are read on every refresh cycle, daily or better.
