CoWIN

CoWIN remains the major app for androids and a website no matter though which website you try to book your vaccine. It is the only website and android users to book the slot for the Covid-19 vaccine online. The CoWIN app portal is also accessible through the Aarogya Setu app for both android and iOS users.

The CoWIN app works in the most traditional way, you will have to enter your pin code in order to look for the available slots for the vaccination.

Getjab.in

Getjab.in is a website that helps you in notifying the availability of slots for the Covid-19 vaccination. Unlike CoWIN this website will notify the users through email notifications when there will be an availability of the slot for the vaccination drive.

The website is run by the alumni of the Indian School of Business Shyam Sunder with his colleagues. The site would ask for the users' information such as the name, location, email address and an optional phone number.

In order to get notified users will have to register on the website. Getjab.in claims that the data which is shared once will not be reshared or sold to anyone else. The site adds a note on its webpage which says “Get notified by email whenever slots open up for 18 – 45 years age group.

Under45.in

Under45.in is another website that shares the data of the availability of slots for the Covid-19 vaccine. The website works in a much more similar way compared to Getjab.in but it does not send notifications through emails.

The website will help in finding the availability of vaccine centers in a particular area and in addition to that the developer of the website Berty Thomas is providing the links for telegram groups through his Twitter account.

The telegram groups will provide the same slot availability options. When compared to Getjab.in, Under45.in requires only the information regarding the state and the district and it doesn’t require your name or any other personal details such as email and phone number.

This makes Under45.in a notable website for users who are concerned about their privacy. Based on the recent searches the site would contain the list of the slots that are available.

Finslot.in

Findslot.in is another website that will help users find the availability of vaccine centers across the country. Findslot.in works in a similar way to Under45.in. The website uses the API of the CoWIN website.

There are claims that the website can be unreliable at times as it failed to show the availability of centers even while there were available slots in specific centers.

However, the website claims that the availability of the slots in centers would change in real-time. Users of the website can reach the developers through Twitter if they face any kind of issue.
