Target price & suggestions
Type the price you want to be alerted at into the Custom price field. To save typing, the sheet offers quick suggestions under Alert me when price drops to:
- 90-day low — the lowest the card has been over the last 90 days (only shown when that's below the current price).
- 20% below current — twenty percent under today's price.
Tap a suggestion to drop it into the field, then adjust if you like. The target must be a number greater than zero.
Printing, foil & scope
When you open the alert from a specific printing, you can choose how broadly to watch the price:
-
This printing vs Any printing
Use the This printing / Any printing control. This printing watches only the exact set and collector number you opened; Any printing watches the cheapest version across all printings.
-
Foil
If you opened the card on its foil view, the alert tracks the foil price and shows a Foil tag in the header.When a foil price is available, flip the Track foil price switch to watch the foil price instead.
-
Create the alert
Tap Create AlertCreate Alert to save it. The sheet closes and the alert starts watching.
Free limit & Pro
Free accounts can keep up to 3 active price alerts at once. When you try to create a fourth, Compendium shows the Compendium Pro upgrade screen.
Manage your alerts
All your alerts live in one place: open Profile and find the Price Alerts section. Each row shows the card name, the printing (or Any printing), your target price, and the alert's status — green for active, orange for triggered.
-
Delete an alert
Swipe a row from right to left and confirm to remove it. A red Delete action appears as you swipe.Swiping reveals a red delete background.
When an alert triggers
When a card reaches your target, Compendium sends you a push notification and the alert is marked triggered (shown in orange in the Price Alerts list).
On iOS you can re-use a triggered alert without recreating it: swipe the row from left to right and tap Re-arm to set it back to active so it watches again.
On Android, delete a triggered alert and create a fresh one from the card's detail page if you want to keep watching it.
