Competitor details are taken from each service's public website and app-store listing as of September 2026 and may have changed since. “Not advertised” means the service doesn't publicly claim the feature — it is not a statement about how that service works internally.
Email vs a lock-screen push
For most restocks, email is fine. For Pokemon TCG it often isn't: a popular drop can sell through in about a minute, and an email has to be sent, delivered and then fetched by your mail app before you see it. A native push from an app lands on your lock screen directly, with a tap-through to the retailer's product page.
The general-tracker tradeoff
NowInStock's strength is breadth and price — it's free and covers a lot. It doesn't advertise Pokemon-specific filtering to keep marketplace, scalper and above-MSRP listings out of your inbox. For Pokemon buyers who've chased an alert to a reseller listing, that filtering is the point of bujusjujus.
When NowInStock is the right tool
If you track several product categories and email works for you, a free multi-category notifier is hard to argue with. If you collect Pokemon TCG and have missed drops by the time an email arrived, a Pokemon-only push feed is the difference.
