How they differ
- Price. PULSE Pro lists $9.99 a month. The other paid plans in these tables list $19 to $349 a month, and Auction Compass's Industry Intelligence starts at $2,500 a month.
- Update cadence. PULSE sweeps about once an hour and every PULSE page names the time of its newest sweep. On 2026-09-30 Auction Compass's pricing page named Jul 12, 2026 as its latest snapshot. The other tools did not state a cadence on the pages read.
- Categories. Auction Compass's free tier covers cards and TCG. PULSE counts every lane its sweeps find live, inside and outside cards.
- What is measured. Viewnot and Ghost Agent report dollars and buyers per stream, and search results describe the same for NotDNA. PULSE does not: it counts viewers and rooms, not sales. Aftershows, WhatCopilot, BundleLive and Whatnot's own Seller Analytics work from your own shows' data.
