Hear about the changes that matter, and only those.
SteamStats watches your games and writes one Inbox item when something notable happens: a wishlist spike, sales outside the expected range, a review score close to changing its label, a payout date or a Steam festival starting. Depending on the plan, the same items also go out by email or Telegram.

Where alerts arrive

- Email: Indie, Studio, and Publisher.
- Telegram: Studio and Publisher.
- Webhook: Publisher.
Where the alerts come from
Alerts are worked out from the same data as the rest of SteamStats, each time its source refreshes. A wishlist spike is checked once a day has closed, sales pace while the day runs, and payout and calendar notes arrive a set number of days before the date.
What it does not do
- There is no mobile push notification. Alerts arrive in the Inbox, by email and on Telegram.
- It does not act on an alert. It tells you what changed and links to the page with the numbers.
