You buy MTG cards on CardTrader, and you are tired of opening the site every night to check whether the price finally dropped.

CardAlert does that for you.

Pick the cards you care about, tell the app what you would pay, and get a push notification when someone lists one below that number. Nothing to check by hand.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Find the card in the catalogue.
2. Set your threshold: either a fixed price in euros, or a percentage below the recent 7-day trade average. Pick the language, the minimum condition and whether you want foil or regular.
3. Close the app. When the offer shows up on CardTrader, the alert reaches you.

WHAT IS INSIDE

• Catalogue of 1,500+ cards, with CardTrader prices monitored constantly
• Two ways to set your threshold: a fixed price in euros, or a percentage below the recent 7-day trade average
• Real filters for language, condition and foil, card by card
• Price history over 7, 15, 30, 90 and 180 days, with a trend chart
• Push notifications that arrive with the app closed
• Favourites, to watch a card without getting alerts
• Browse the catalogue, prices and charts without an account
• Google sign-in, no new password to invent

WHY THIS IS NOT ANOTHER PRICE APP

MTG price apps make you do the searching. You open them, type a name, read a number, close them. If the price drops at 11pm on a Tuesday while you sleep, someone else buys the good copy.

CardAlert works the other way round. It monitors MTG card prices for you and only writes when there is something actually worth buying. It tracks CardTrader, which means European sellers and prices in euros, not the US market run through a currency converter.

WHAT IT DOES NOT DO

It is not a scanner: it does not photograph cards. It does not manage your collection and it does not build decks. It will not buy anything for you, it tells you where and when it is worth buying. You need a connection to receive alerts.

WHO IT IS FOR

For people who play Magic: The Gathering and buy cards seriously, not once in a while. For anyone finishing a Commander deck and waiting for the right moment. For sellers who want to know the second a card falls under their buy price.

Land one card five euros under market and the app has already paid for itself.

CardAlert is free to install and use. Optional Pro and Max subscriptions unlock larger watchlists and immediate alerts.
