How to create a price alert
for any TCG card.
Three steps. Thirty seconds. Works for every card and sealed product on TCGPlayer, Card Kingdom, and more. Here's exactly how to set up your first alert.
Create Your First AlertFree forever - no credit card needed
Search or paste a URL
You have two ways to find a product. Type a card name into the search bar and tcgSniper will find it across TCGPlayer, Card Kingdom, and every other supported marketplace. Or, if you've already found the card on a marketplace, just paste the URL directly.
Search by name - type "Rhystic Study" or "Charizard ex" and we find it everywhere
Paste a URL - copy from TCGPlayer, Card Kingdom, or any supported marketplace
Every game - MTG, Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Lorcana, Star Wars: Unlimited, sealed product, and more
Variants for this alert
3 variants - still counts as 1 alert
Choose your variants
Every card has variants: combinations of condition (Near Mint, Lightly Played, etc.), foil treatment, and language. Pick exactly which ones you care about. Want to track NM, LP, and foil all at once? Go for it.
Adding more variants to an alert does NOT count toward your alert limit. Only distinct products count. One alert for "Lightning Bolt" with 4 variants is still just 1 alert, not 4. This is a major advantage over tools that charge per condition or per listing.
Set your desired price
Enter the maximum price you're willing to pay. You can also toggle whether to include shipping in the comparison, so you're comparing the true total cost. Then save, and you're done. tcgSniper monitors the price across all supported marketplaces and notifies you the moment it drops to your target.
Include shipping toggle - compare the real total, not just the sticker price
Cross-marketplace - one alert checks TCGPlayer, Card Kingdom, and more

Common questions
Yes. The Base plan is free forever with no credit card required. You get 15 product alerts with unlimited variants and email notifications. Plus ($5/month, first month free) adds unlimited alerts, SMS, Discord, and priority price checks.
A variant is a specific combination of condition (Near Mint, Lightly Played, etc.), foil treatment, and language. You can add as many variants as you want to any alert - they don't count toward your alert limit. Only distinct products count. So one alert for "Lightning Bolt" with 4 variants is still just 1 alert.
We check prices frequently throughout the day. Base users get regular checks; Plus members get priority monitoring for faster detection. The moment we detect your target price, we send the alert immediately through your chosen channels.
No. tcgSniper uses intelligent snoozing. After notifying you about a price drop, we won't re-notify for the same alert unless the price changes again and still meets your target. Every notification is actionable.
