We wrote all nine of these ourselves, which is normally a reason to distrust them. So each one leads with what the other tool does better. Three of them are faster than we are. One of them has data we simply do not have.
If raw alert speed is the only thing you care about, three tools on this page beat us: Madealert in seconds, Trove in about sixty seconds, SearchDome in ten minutes. We check hourly.
What we add on top is valuation. Price history on items you watch, and a read on whether a listing is priced under comparable ones. Most of the fast alert tools do not do that part.
Nothing here is exclusive. Running a fast alerter alongside us is a completely reasonable setup, and several of these pages end by saying so.
Competitor pricing and check intervals change. Every figure on these pages was accurate when the page was written, and the right move is always to check the other tool's own site rather than trust a number in a comparison article.
Alphabetical, not ranked. Each blurb includes the part where the other tool is the better pick.

On raw speed it wins, and it is more configurable per alert. We are slower and not metered.Free since 2004, and its free tier checks eBay every 10 minutes, which is faster than we are. Its 1, 2 and 5 minute Rapid Search tiers are paid.
Faster on the free tier, and it can exclude a specific seller. We cannot do that.A well built iOS and Android app. The free tier caps you at 10 saved searches checked hourly, and faster checks live behind a paid plan.
It is a real native app with a real app experience. We run in a browser and have no app.A genuinely free mobile app that alerts within about 60 seconds, capped at 20 saved searches. Supported by eBay affiliate links rather than a paid tier.
Much faster than our hourly schedule, free, and no paid upsell waiting for you.WatchCount shows sold prices and watcher counts. We do neither. Different jobs, and most people want both open.
Sold price data is the thing we do not have, and it is the better answer to what is this worth.If a comparison on this page talks you into the other tool, it did its job.
