# Price alert

A message when something drops below the price you set. Needs the daily price check, which has not started. Free will cover a few items; Plus has no limit. As of October 23, 2026, no alert can fire yet, because each of the 376 products in the index has one dated price.

## Why it matters at Vessim

Without one you have to keep checking. Once the daily price check runs it will check for you; until then Vessim says plainly that alerts are not live.
