Frequently asked questions

LootPing monitors product pages across major retailers and sends you fast alerts when items restock, drop in price, or become available. We cover LEGO, Funko Pop, Pokemon Center, Nike SNKRS, Stanley, lifestyle brands, and more — with new categories added regularly.

Sign in with your Apple account, Discord, or email (magic link — no password needed). Then choose a plan, pick the targets you want to track, and set up your preferred notification channel.

No. LootPing works with multiple notification channels: push notifications on iOS, browser notifications, and Discord DMs. You can use any combination — Discord is optional.

There is no free plan — all plans are paid, starting with the Starter plan at $0.99/month for one target slot. Plus, Pro, Ultra, and Legendary give you more slots. All plans are billed monthly and you can cancel anytime.

Most targets are checked every few minutes. When a change is detected (new product, restock, price drop), the alert typically reaches you within a couple of minutes. For Product Watch items, popular products are checked more frequently.

Each plan gives you a number of target slots. Starter gets 1, Plus gets 5, Pro gets 10, Ultra gets 25, and Legendary gets 50. You choose which brand targets or product watches to fill your slots with, and you can swap them anytime.

Product Watch lets you monitor a specific product by pasting its URL. We currently support Target, Walmart, Best Buy, Amazon, and Newegg. You can set alerts for restocks, price drops, or both — and optionally set a price threshold. Each watched product uses one target slot from your plan.

Most restock monitors send one alert per product. LootPing tracks every size and color variant independently. If your size restocks, you get an alert — even if other sizes are still out of stock. This is especially useful for lifestyle brands and sneakers.

For lifestyle brands and apparel, you can set your preferred sizes. LootPing will only alert you when your sizes restock — no noise from sizes that don't fit. Set it once in your dashboard or the iOS app.

iOS push notifications (via the LootPing app), browser push notifications, Discord DMs, and Pushover. You can enable multiple channels at once — we'll deliver to all of them.

Download the LootPing app from the App Store, sign in with the same account you used on the web, and allow notifications when prompted. That's it — alerts will start arriving on your phone.

After subscribing, you'll see an option to enable browser notifications on the success page. You can also enable them later from your dashboard. They work in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge.

Yes. You can mute any target from your dashboard or the iOS app. Muted targets stay in your plan but won't send alerts until you unmute them.

Plans are billed monthly through Stripe (web/Discord) or the App Store (iOS). You can upgrade or downgrade at any time. When you upgrade, you're charged the difference immediately. When you downgrade, you keep your current plan until the end of the billing period.

Yes. Cancel from the pricing page on the web, or from your device's subscription settings if you subscribed through the App Store. You'll keep access until the end of your current billing period.

If your new plan has fewer slots than you currently have selected, you'll be asked to choose which targets to keep before the downgrade takes effect.

Yes. Each watched product uses one slot from your plan, just like a brand target. This keeps things simple — your plan limit is the total number of things you can track.

Brand targets cover LEGO (20 themes), Funko Pop (12 collections), Pokemon Center TCG, P-Bandai, Displate limited editions, Stanley, Nike SNKRS, and five lifestyle brands (Roller Rabbit, LoveShackFancy, Lake Pajamas, Printfresh, Hill House Home). Product Watch supports Target, Walmart, Best Buy, Amazon, and Newegg.

Yes — we're actively adding new brands and retailers. Lululemon is next in the pipeline. If there's a retailer you'd love to see, let us know on Discord.

We use multiple independent scraping sources with built-in redundancy. If one source gets blocked, others continue monitoring. We don't rely on a single method — resilience is built into the architecture.
