Question 1

What is TabletopWatch?

Accepted Answer

TabletopWatch is a free content and deals aggregator for hobbyists. We monitor YouTube channels for new content, extract structured data using AI, compare prices across major retailers, and aggregate live streams — all in one place.

Question 2

How do deals and price comparison work?

Accepted Answer

We scrape prices from multiple retailers several times a day. Each product page shows a price comparison table so you can find the cheapest option. We also detect price drops of 10% or more and can alert you when a product hits your target price.

Question 3

How do price alerts work?

Accepted Answer

On any product page, enter your email and a target price. When the price drops to or below your target, we send you an email with a link to buy. Alerts are checked twice daily (morning and evening).

Question 4

Is this site free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, completely free. We earn a small commission when you buy through our affiliate links — at no extra cost to you. This is how we keep the site running.

Question 5

How often is content updated?

Accepted Answer

YouTube content is checked every few hours. Deals are scraped multiple times a day. Live streams are polled every 5 minutes. Price history is recorded on every scrape.

Question 6

How does the live streams page work?

Accepted Answer

We aggregate live streams from both Twitch and YouTube that match our hobby categories. Streams are polled frequently and marked as offline when they end.

Question 7

How does army list extraction work?

Accepted Answer

When a new battle report is published, our AI parser reads the video description and extracts structured army lists — factions, units, and points values. This lets you browse what armies were used without watching the full video.

Question 8

What is Build My Army Cheap?

Accepted Answer

Paste a Warhammer army list (from Wahapedia, BattleScribe, or the GW app) and we match each unit to products across retailers to find the cheapest combination. It's like a shopping cart that compares prices for you.

We cover Warhammer 40K, Age of Sigmar, The Old World, Kill Team, and Horus Heresy. Content is tagged by game system so you can filter to what interests you.

We currently compare prices from Element Games, Troll Trader, and eBay. More retailers are being added. Games Workshop prices are included as a baseline reference.
