Cardslot

Cardslot tracks Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 eShop prices, ranks deals, and sends sale alerts. It suits players shopping across the supported regions who want a focused way to monitor games. Its one-time Full purchase lifts the one-game cap and adds price history, while the free plan keeps the core deal list, search, and alerts.

Overview

Cardslot reads public eShop data several times a day and ranks deals using the discount, regular price, and eShop sales rank. That score gives shoppers a useful starting point for sorting offers, though the app says the price shown by Nintendo at checkout is authoritative. Treat the ranking as a way to find candidates, then confirm the current price in the store.

Coverage spans fourteen storefronts: ten in Europe, plus the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Brazil. The app supports English, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, and German. This makes it a relevant choice for players comparing prices within those markets; it does not track physical-store prices.

Key features

Tracked-game alerts cover price drops and a reminder the day before a sale ends. Cardslot caps notifications at one per day, delivered between 9:00 and 21:00 local time. That restraint may suit players who dislike constant notifications, but it also means an alert is not an immediate feed of every change. The terms describe alerts as best-effort and do not guarantee timely generation or delivery.

The sale calendar shows sale end times and a histogram of deal endings over the next fifteen days. It can help shoppers decide whether to act before an offer expires or scan for upcoming clusters of endings. Price history is reserved for Full, so free users cannot use past prices to judge whether a current deal is unusually low.

Pricing

The Free plan is enough to follow one game and use the same alerts as paying users. It is a narrow fit for a small wishlist, but the cap quickly matters if you track a library or several games at once. Full is a one-time in-app purchase, with the price shown by the store; it removes the tracking limit and adds history and filters without a recurring subscription.

Platforms

Cardslot is available on Android and iOS. Its price coverage is for console eShop storefronts, with fourteen regions supported.

Who it's for

Choose Cardslot if you shop for Switch or Switch 2 games in a supported storefront and want deal sorting, sale reminders, and a calendar in one mobile app. It is less suited to shoppers who need physical-store comparisons, immediate guaranteed alerts, or broad watchlists without paying for Full.

Pros and cons

• Fourteen eShop storefronts: useful for comparing supported regional prices across Europe and the Americas.
• Alerts on the free plan: the one-game tier includes the same price-drop and sale-ending alerts as Full.
• One-time Full purchase: unlimited tracked games, price history, and additional filters cost $3.99, paid once.
• One-game free cap: limits the free plan to a single ongoing watch.
• Alerts are best-effort: delivery timing is not guaranteed, so alerts should not be the only reason to rely on a sale deadline.
• No physical-store tracking: the app focuses on eShop prices.

Alternatives

For a broader comparison of tools, browse Game Price Trackers. Pick PlatPrices if you need Android, iOS, web, extension, and API access; its free tier allows 1,000 requests a month, two regions, and 25 games per list request, with non-commercial use. Choose PSPrices for price tracking and instant price-drop notifications without signing up, or its paid discount alerts and ad-free plan.

CheapShark is a free option for comparing digital game download prices, browsing deals, and receiving email price alerts. Deku Deals is another free choice, with game price tracking, deal browsing, wishlist sale alerts, and collection tracking. GamePrice offers a free plan with one active price alert. For collection and marketplace tools, PriceCharting has a free account with collection tracking, a wishlist, monthly collection reports, marketplace access, and price search, plus a $6 a month Collector Sub. PlayStation shoppers can consider PS Deals, which has basic free tracking and email notifications, or XB Deals for free price-drop notifications, watchlists, wishlists, purchased-game tracking, and personalized content.

Verdict

Cardslot is a good fit for Switch and Switch 2 shoppers who want to monitor eShop deals across its fourteen supported storefronts and prefer paying once to track an unlimited list. The free plan makes it easy to follow one game, but players with larger wishlists need Full for $3.99, paid once. Look elsewhere if you need physical retail prices or alerts whose delivery time is guaranteed.
