The TCG price alert tool
collectors actually rely on.
Multi-marketplace monitoring. Unlimited free variants. Intelligent snoozing. And six years of real users snagging real deals.
What sets us apart
Not all alert tools are built the same.
Most price alert tools cover one marketplace, charge per variant, and spam you with repeated notifications. TCGSniper was designed to fix all of that.
Multi-marketplace monitoring
TCGPlayer and Card Kingdom, with more on the way. One alert watches every marketplace. Others lock you into a single site.
Unlimited free variants
Track Near Mint, Lightly Played, foil, non-foil, any language on one alert. Variants never count toward your limit. Others charge per condition.
Intelligent snoozing
We only re-notify you when the price changes again and still meets your target. Every notification is actionable. Zero spam.
In-stock alerts, built in
We only alert when there's something to buy. Sold-out card comes back? You'll know. Your alert stays active automatically.
Email, SMS, and Discord
Get alerts where you actually are. Email on every plan. SMS and Discord DMs on Plus.
Active since 2019
Six years of real users snagging real deals. Not a new project that launched last year. We've been refining this since before most alternatives existed. Real reviews from 2020 through 2026.
Side-by-side
How TCGSniper compares.
We built TCGSniper because the alternatives weren't good enough. Here's how every approach stacks up.

Why marketplace wishlists aren't real alerts.
Store wishlists were designed for bookmarking, not for competitive price tracking. Here's where they fall apart.
Everyone gets notified at once
When a card restocks, every user on the wishlist gets the same email at the same time. It's a race, and most people lose.
Missed it? Start over.
If the card sells out before you buy, you have to manually re-add it to your wishlist. Every. Single. Time.
No price targeting
You get notified when a card is in stock, regardless of price. A $200 restock on a card you'd only buy at $150? You'll still get pinged.
How TCGSniper handles this
-
Your alert, your notification.
Alerts are personal. No mass blasts, no race conditions.
-
Alerts stay active forever.
Missed the restock? Your alert keeps watching. It'll fire again next time, automatically.
-
Price-aware restocks.
You only hear about it when the card is back in stock AND at or below your target price.
-
Cross-marketplace coverage.
Track a sold-out card across TCGPlayer AND Card Kingdom. Whichever restocks first, you'll know.
Real users, real deals

The kind of thing you can't fake.
"Great service, just too busy to collect"
Mark
"You guys offer a great service. I've just been too busy to buy or collect."
"Even while deleting his account..."
S. Nagles
"You're the best Jonathan! Your app is an awesome one - I'll probably start using it again eventually. I think what you're doing is super cool!"
"City of... what?"
"I was at work talking with a coworker showing him work related stuff on my phone, and I get a text 'City of Ass' pop up which was interesting to explain. Love the service! Keep it up!"
City of Ass is a real Magic: The Gathering card from the Unhinged joke set. Yes, really. The SMS alert worked perfectly.
One alert. Every variant you care about. Free.
Most alert tools charge per condition or per listing. Want to track Near Mint AND Lightly Played? That's two alerts. Foil and non-foil? Four. TCGSniper works differently.
Other tools
4 variants = 4 alerts used
TCGSniper
4 variants = 1 alert used
Your 15 free alerts can cover 15 products with dozens of variants each. That's dramatically more coverage than tools that charge per listing.
Works with every game on TCGPlayer, Card Kingdom & more
FAQ
Common questions.
Yes. The Base plan is free forever with 15 product alerts, unlimited variants per alert, and email notifications. No credit card required, no trial that expires. You only pay if you choose to upgrade to Plus for unlimited alerts, SMS, and Discord notifications.
Three big differences. First, TCGSniper monitors multiple marketplaces (TCGPlayer and Card Kingdom, with more coming) from a single alert. Most tools are locked to one site. Second, variants are free and unlimited. Other tools charge per condition or per listing, so tracking NM, LP, and foil versions uses 3 of your alerts. On TCGSniper, that's still just 1. Third, intelligent snoozing means you only get notified when the price actually changes and still meets your target. No repeated alerts for the same stale price.
Absolutely. TCGSniper supports every game listed on TCGPlayer and Card Kingdom: Magic: The Gathering, Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Lorcana, Star Wars: Unlimited, Dragon Ball Super, Cardfight!! Vanguard, Funko Pop!, sealed products, and more. If it's listed on a supported marketplace, you can set an alert on it.
We check prices across TCGPlayer and Card Kingdom multiple times an hour. When a price drop is detected, Plus members get priority delivery, meaning their notifications go out first. The moment we see your target price, the alert fires immediately through your chosen channels (email, SMS, or Discord).
TCGSniper only sends alerts when there's actually something to buy. If a card goes out of stock, your alert stays active and keeps watching. The moment that card comes back in stock at or below your target price on any supported marketplace, you'll get notified. No need to re-add anything. This makes TCGSniper a powerful back-in-stock alert tool, especially for sold-out chase cards and cards with thin supply.
TCGSniper has been active since 2019, making it one of the longest-running TCG price alert services. We have real user reviews spanning from 2020 to 2026 across Discord, email, and live chat. This isn't a new project. It's a tool that's been refined over six years of real-world use by real collectors.
No. TCGSniper uses intelligent snoozing. After we notify 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 you receive is actionable. If a card goes out of stock and comes back, you get a fresh alert automatically. No noise, no repeated pings for the same stale price.
Plus costs $5/month (with a 1-month free trial) and unlocks unlimited product alerts, SMS/text notifications, Discord DM notifications, and priority alert delivery. That's less than a single booster pack per month. If TCGSniper saves you even one good deal, it pays for itself many times over. Cancel anytime from your account settings.
