DropSync gives collectors a fair shot at the drop. Sealed trading cards and hot collectibles sell out in seconds. DropSync watches the major retailers around the clock and pings your lock screen the instant a restock goes live — then puts you one tap from the buy button, before the crowd even finishes refreshing. WHAT THE APP DOES • Instant restock alerts — the moment stock hits at Target, Walmart, Sam's Club, or Pokémon Center, your phone knows. No refreshing, no F5, no luck. • The GO screen — one tap takes you straight to the product at the retailer, signed in and ready to check out. Timing is everything, and this is the fastest path there is. • Upcoming drop windows — see when each retailer tends to drop, with honest confidence labels. A pattern is never dressed up as a promise. • Collect-what-you-want filters — get alerted only for the categories you care about (Pokémon, Lorcana, One Piece, sports, and more) and mute the rest. Your choices sync to every device. - Scan and track your entire Pokemon collection ONE MEMBERSHIP, MORE FIREPOWER DropSync Plus follows you everywhere for one price: • On your phone — the instant alerts and GO handoff above. • On desktop — the DropSync browser extension, including the precise-refresh sniper that times your checkout down to the millisecond inside your own logged-in browser. • In the community — a collectors Discord for drop-night intel. HONEST BY DESIGN DropSync handles timing and information — you click checkout. We never store your retailer logins, we never auto-buy for you, and we're not affiliated with any retailer or brand. You stay in control of your own purchases in your own logged-in browser. YOUR COLLECTION, ON YOUR PHONE • Scan to add — point the camera at a card and it's identified, priced, and logged. Recognition runs on your device, so the photo never leaves your phone. • Graded slabs — the label is read for you, grade and certification number included, and priced from real observed sale medians rather than a model. • Honest prices — every number says what it is: an observed market price, an estimate, or "not enough sales to say". Nothing is rounder than the data behind it. • Have, Want, Selling — three piles, cost basis, notes, and a portfolio total you can audit. • Set completion — see how close you are, closest-to-done first. DROPSYNC PLUS PRICING • Monthly — $12.99/month • Annual — $129.99/year (best value) Subscriptions renew automatically until canceled; manage or cancel anytime in your App Store settings. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Privacy Policy: https://dropsync.chasedex.com/privacy Terms of Use: https://dropsync.chasedex.com/terms

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: DropSync at 100% against PokeRestock's 35%. DropSync also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.7) and update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly). PokeRestock's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (79 vs 4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and chart position there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PokeRestock sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and DropSync sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
DropSync holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PokeRestock has 79 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 35% of PokeRestock's written reviews are positive against 100% of DropSync's.
PokeRestock ships an update weekly, DropSync every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
