The best toolswere never builtfor your market.

The serious instruments for economic intelligence stayed locked behind Wall Street pricing. The tools that did reach gamers were built one community at a time, one game at a time. We rejected both ceilings.

Chapter One · The Landscape

Serious tools exist. They just exist one at a time.

Game economies are real markets. Hundreds of millions of dollars in value, billions of daily transactions, supply-and-demand mechanics every bit as rigorous as the NYSE on a calm Tuesday. The people trading them are real traders.

And the community has built genuinely good tools to serve them. GE Tracker changed how OSRS merchants think. TradeSkillMaster turned WoW gold-making into a sport with rules. poe.ninja carries the entire Path of Exile economy on its shoulders, for free, every league reset. EVE Tycoon and EVE Marketer give EVE industrialists profit visibility that traditional sectors of finance would recognize. These are not toys. They are real instruments built by real engineers who care.

But every one of them is structurally bound to a single ceiling: one game, one tool, one focus. A trader who works across three economies pays three subscriptions, learns three interfaces, accepts three different data refresh cadences, and stitches the intelligence together in their own head.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the wall, Wall Street has spent forty years and tens of billions of dollars building unified, multi-asset, predictive, AI-augmented intelligence platforms. The same underlying mathematics. The same supply curves. The same sentiment dynamics. Locked behind $32,000 per seat, per year.

The community got fragmented tools they could afford. The institutions got unified tools they could weaponize. We never accepted that either side was the right answer.
Founding thesis
Chapter Two · Field Survey

Credit where it is due. Truth where it matters.

What follows is not criticism. It is observation. Each of these tools is the best in its niche — we use several of them ourselves, and we recommend them to anyone who hasn’t yet outgrown them. They are also, every single one, structurally limited in ways that weren’t flaws — they were choices. Each was built to do a specific thing for a specific game. We respect that. We just made a different set of choices.

Field Survey · Four Subjects + One Institutional ReferencePlate II · Spec. 02
OSRS · Grand ExchangeSubject I

GE Tracker

The OSRS flipping standard. 742K+ users.
What it does well

5-minute Wiki API refresh, comprehensive item coverage, accurate margin and ROI calculations, in-game GE fee already factored, RuneLite import. The bar it set defined the category.

Structural limit

Observational. It tells you the current spread. It does not project where the spread will be after the next patch, the next bond price shift, or the next mass-market event. And it is OSRS, only.

SUBJ · 02.01
World of Warcraft · Auction HouseSubject II

TradeSkillMaster

The most sophisticated AH engine ever shipped to a game.
What it does well

Auctioning, sniping, crafting, mailing, region-wide pricing, custom strings, operations engines that automate posting decisions at scale. Refined for over a decade. Nothing else comes close to the depth.

Structural limit

It is — by design — an Auction House operations engine. It excels at "how do I post and undercut intelligently, right now." It was never built to project where the market goes three days from now. And it is WoW, only.

SUBJ · 02.02
Path of Exile · Currency & ItemsSubject III

poe.ninja

Free, beautiful, and right. The entire PoE economy in one tab.
What it does well

Real-time currency exchange, unique pricing, build statistics, league-reset adaptability, and a UX that has carried every serious PoE player since the early leagues. The community owes them.

Structural limit

Observational and aggregational. Items sell quickly and delist, leaving lag on the most active spreads. The predictive layer isn’t there — not because it can’t be, but because it isn’t the mission. And it is PoE, only.

SUBJ · 02.03
EVE Online · Regional MarketsSubject IV

EVE Tycoon + Marketer

Industrial-grade profit tracking and undercut tooling for New Eden.
What it does well

Profit tracking across characters, industry calculators, manufacturing cost analysis, undercut hotkeys, regional pricing via ESI. Operational excellence that EVE industrialists have built real ISK empires on top of.

Structural limit

Operational frame. They answer "is this order profitable today." They do not answer "where will tritanium be after the next sovereignty patch." Different scope — same respect. And it is EVE, only.

SUBJ · 02.04

Four tools. Four games. Four subscriptions if you trade across them. Four data refresh cadences. Four UI paradigms. Four interpretation frameworks in your head. And not one of them does predictive, forward-looking, event-driven projection — because that wasn’t ever the scope they signed up for.

The predictive layer exists. It just exists somewhere else entirely.

Specimen comparison — substance, below the price.

Chapter Three · The Gate

Why should the strongest tools be gated by which market you trade?

A market is a market. Supply, demand, sentiment, liquidity, volatility, mean reversion, event shock, regime change — the mathematics that describe a Brent crude futures contract describe a Dragon Bone listing on the Grand Exchange. The signal processing that finds anomalous order flow in a corporate bond order book finds anomalous order flow in a Plex spread on Jita. The same regressions. The same Kalman filters. The same Bayesian updates.

Bloomberg knows this. JPMorgan’s quants know this. Renaissance knows this. The math is the math.

The gating isn’t technical. It isn’t mathematical. It is purely commercial — a choice that institutional-tier intelligence is sold only to institutional-tier customers. We rejected that choice.
On gates, and the removal thereof

The reason a serious quantitative platform was never built for game economies isn’t that game economies don’t deserve one. It is that the people who could build one were busy building the next predictive credit-default model for a tier-one hedge fund, for tier-one money. A $24.99/month subscription doesn’t pay for that engineering time — not at the salaries those engineers command.

Unless they choose to build it anyway.

That is the choice we made. Our own datacenter. Our own hardware. Our own institutional-caliber model. Pointed at the markets that nobody else thought were worth pointing it at.

Chapter Four · The Convergence

Every game economy. One platform. One intelligence layer.

We didn’t build a better GE Tracker. We didn’t build a faster TSM. We didn’t build a more opinionated poe.ninja. Those tools already exist, and they are excellent at what they do. We built the layer above them — the layer that should have always existed — and we pulled every market into it.

Chapter Five · The Pricing Page

Two tiers. Every market. One subscription.

We had a choice, when we sat down to design pricing, between the per-game tiering everyone else uses and something simpler. We picked simpler. There are exactly two tiers, and they cover every market we support, now and forever.

Tier 01 · Volume class

Pro

$9.99/ month
Permanent. Never raised.
  • Uncapped access to platform-generated analysis across every market we support
  • Method Intelligence — the analytical surfaces our pre-compute pipeline produces, served raw
  • Trade tracking with progression-unlocked depth — the more you log, the more the platform unlocks
  • Sandbox mode — hypothetical positions without real-capital risk
  • Computed intelligence, not LLM inference. Adding subscribers does not degrade the math.
Tier 02 · Intelligence class

Pro+

$24.99/ month
Every cohort locks at signup price.
  • Everything in Pro, plus the full AI intelligence layer
  • Autonomous portfolio manager— goal-based: “I want X by date Y” → daily-swept buy/hold/sell sequence
  • Forward-looking speculative intelligence — event-driven positioning ahead of announced content, betas, patches
  • Institutional-grade inference at sub-150ms latency, on hardware we own
  • Every ratchet locks its own cohort. Join at $24.99 — locked at $24.99 for the life of your subscription.

No “OSRS plan.” No “WoW plan.” No “upgrade to EVE.” No bundles. No upsells. No “this feature is only on the Enterprise tier.” The tier you pick works across every market on the platform — the day you sign up, and every market we add after.

If you trade three games, you pay one subscription, not three. If we add Albion six months after you join, you have Albion — at no additional cost. That is the entire model. That is the whole pricing page.

Chapter Six · The Bar

Iron-clad decisions, backed by a single source of truth.

Trading well isn’t about more information. It is about correctly weighted information. The community tools sometimes give you too little — raw spreads with no context. The institutional tools give the wrong audience too much — analyst dashboards designed for forty-hour workweeks of human interpretation.

What a serious game trader needs is what a serious Wall Street trader has always needed: a unified, real-time, predictive intelligence surface that filters, weights, ranks, and explains — so the decisions you make next can be defended by the math behind them.

That is the bar. That is what Market Sniper is engineered to clear. Not for analysts. Not for institutions. For you.

Take the gate off

The strongest tools should not be gated by which market you trade.
We took the gate off.

One login. One dashboard. Every market we support — now and forever.
