There is also https://apps.sentinel-hub.com/sentinel-playground/ which seems to be a bit higher resolution, I think they are imagin the whole earth every other day.

The two Sentinel-2 satellites together cover all land area of the Earth every 5 days, but are only 10-meter pixel resolution.

> 10 days at the equator with one satellite, and 5 days with 2 satellites under cloud-free conditions which results in 2-3 days at mid-latitudes
