A seatspy premium subscription may be worthwhile for you as it promises realtime updates

Be careful about this. What Seatspy mean by real-time updates is that they’ll update you as soon as they find out about the new seats. That’s not the same as updating you as soon as those seats are actually released.

I’m a Seatspy Premium subscriber and have noticed delays of several hours between when I cancelled a seat which (when I checked on BA) went straight back into availability and when my Seatspy alert for this date (which I‘d forgotten to cancel) notified me of this availability which had been added several hours earlier.
