Free alternative to Google Alerts?

I signed up to Google Alerts about two months ago and created 30 alerts. So far I haven't received a single notification and searching online, it seems to be a common problem.

Is there any similar free services? I'm mostly using: "brand" -site:brand.com

Hey!

We have experience with Buzzbundle, pretty nice tool. It's not really free, but there is a free version, which is enough for some basic needs. Check for more here - https://fortunelords.com/google-alerts/
