## What is CardPulse?

CardPulse is a watchlist for trading cards. Add what you are watching to one list, and each raw card on it shows a live market price. No manual refresh, no jumping between tabs.

THE WATCHLIST

- Add raw cards from search, plus a curated set of sealed products.
- Prices update on their own, so the list is current when you open the app.
- The free tier holds five items. Cards and sealed products share the same five slots. Premium removes the cap.
- Two cards are already on the list the first time you open the app. They count toward the five.
- Swipe to remove. Tap through to the marketplace listing.

PRICE ALERTS

- Set a target price on a raw card. CardPulse sends a push notification when the price crosses it.
- The free tier holds three active alerts. Premium removes the cap.
- Checked every minute while the app is open, on a background schedule iOS controls when it is not, and once a day when the app is closed.
- Alerts run on raw, ungraded prices.
- A notification feed keeps every alert that has fired, so you can see what tripped and when.

AROUND THE WATCHLIST

- Daily movers. The Trending list rebuilds each morning from a daily card leaderboard, ranked on day-over-day price movement. Different cards most days.
- Undervalued and overvalued. Two daily lists surface the cards trading furthest from their recent baseline.
- Price history. A daily series with a crosshair you can drag across it, and selectable time ranges.
- A fundamentals table on the card page.
- Search the catalogue by card, by set, or by artist. Sealed products appear alongside card results.
- Set pages and artist pages, for working through a full set or one illustrator's run.
- Other printings of the same card, where they exist.
- Trading card news from hobby outlets, with a push notification when a new top story lands, at most once a day.
- Every price converts to the currency you pick, at a daily rate.
- Dark and light mode. No ads anywhere in the app.

CARDPULSE PREMIUM

$4.99 per month or $29.99 per year.

- Unlimited watchlist

Those are the only two limits in the app. The catalogue, the price history, the daily lists, and the news feed are the same on both tiers.
