ACCESS AND ALERT ELIGIBILITY Sign in with the access code from your CheckVisaSlots registration. Availability access is subject to usage limits. Personalized alerts require an active alert plan; paid plans and eligible trials have their own access conditions. Alerts depend on matching preferences, reported availability, and account eligibility. Limited-slot alerts can depend on recent contributions and contributor rank. Qualifying bulk alerts may be sent without recent contributions. Eligible trials may have limited alert coverage. Contribute availability reports through a supported CheckVisaSlots browser extension while checking the official visa portal. Use the same registered account. The app's Alerts section shows your preferences, history, and rank. Enable notifications on your eligible device for mobile alerts.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Check US Visa Slots at 4.7 against MEAIndia's 3.0. Check US Visa Slots also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (369 vs 2). MEAIndia's advantage is review sentiment (95% vs 65%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Check US Visa Slots holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Check US Visa Slots has 369 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 95% of MEAIndia's written reviews are positive against 65% of Check US Visa Slots's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
MEAIndia ships an update every 5 months, Check US Visa Slots every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
