Paid alerts for Spain's rental and sales market: Prio watches Idealista and Badi and sends every new listing that matches your search to Telegram, claiming a lead of at least two minutes over the portals' own notifications.
Prio is a paid alert service for Spain's housing market, built in Barcelona, and @idealistaalertbot is where the alerts arrive. The problem it targets is specific: in Barcelona or Madrid a well-priced flat can collect hundreds of inquiries within hours, while Idealista's own alerts do not fire for every new listing and arrive with a delay. Prio watches Idealista and Badi continuously and pushes each matching listing to Telegram, claiming a lead of at least two minutes over the portals' notifications.
Setup is light. Start the bot, pick a language and paste your Idealista search link; Prio reads the filters (price, size, neighbourhood, rooms) from it. You can run several searches at once, and each alert carries the photo, price, area, a direct link and a ready-to-send WhatsApp message for the owner. The site also mentions a built-in scam filter.
Pricing follows what you are hunting for: Roommate at €4.95 a month for rooms on Badi, Renter at €19.90 for Idealista rentals and Buyer at €49.90 for Idealista sales. Every plan starts with a 7-day trial without a card, and payment is by card through Stripe. It covers all of Spain and only Spain, and other portals such as Fotocasa are not watched.
