The squishy specialists
Everything Squishy Scout does
We track squishies and squeeze toys — and nothing else — so every stock check we can afford goes into the things you actually collect. Here's the whole toolkit, and what's free versus Scout Pro at $9.99/mo.
The catalog and the store comparison Free
Every squishy and squeeze toy we track gets one page listing every shop that carries it — shops that can ship first, cheapest first, then in-store-only, then sold-out and unconfirmed shops greyed at the bottom.
- Filter the index by brand, item type and stock state
- Each row shows price, stock state and exactly when we last checked
- Sold-out shops stay listed so you know who normally stocks it
- Store pages let you browse everything one retailer has right now
Restock alerts in minutes, not hours Free + Pro
Heart what you're hunting and we watch it for you. Hot items on Scout Pro are re-checked every couple of minutes, so the alert lands while the listing is still buyable.
- Free: track 3 squishies with a once-a-day drop digest
- Pro: track up to 200, with instant push and email alerts
- Alerts carry the price, the shop and a direct buy link
- Mute retailers you never buy from, or only get alerted near retail price
Over-retail markup flags Pro
We build a retail baseline for each squishy from the clustered prices across every shop carrying it, backed by hand-set line prices for brands with a known price point. Anything above that baseline is labelled with how far over it sits.
- Spot a resale-priced listing before you panic-buy it
- Baselines show how confident the estimate is
- High-markup listings are also scanned less often — they don't sell out fast
Shelf stock near you Pro
The Local tab uses your ZIP to show which nearby branches have something on the shelf or ready for pickup, sorted by distance.
- Target, Walmart, Five Below, GameStop and other chains
- Save your regular stores so they always sort to the top
- Chains without live shelf counts show a “call to check” note instead of a guess
Regional stock reads Pro
Marketplaces answer stock and price differently depending on where you're shopping from, so we sample four regional hubs instead of one national read and prefer the region nearest you.
- Product pages say which region a reading came from
- Sampling follows where our members actually are
Hype score Free + Pro
Every squishy gets a blended hype score from eBay resale activity, YouTube, TikTok, Reddit and Google Trends — a quick read on how viral something is right now.
- Free: the top 10 leaderboard
- Pro: the per-source breakdown and 7-day trend on every product
Drop predictor Pro
We keep the drop history for every listing and use the gaps between past restocks to estimate when the next one is likely.
- 12 weeks of drop history
- A likelihood read per store, not just per product
Resale intel Pro
eBay sold price ranges and live listing counts on every product, so you know what a squishy actually changes hands for before you pay over retail.
- Median, low and high sold prices
- Markup against the retail baseline
Trading, trust and disputes Free
Sold out everywhere doesn't have to be the end. Post what you have and what you're hunting on the Have/ISO board and swap with collectors who already own it.
- Single or multi-item bundle offers, negotiated in-thread
- Trust scores from completed swaps; subscribers can earn a verified badge
- Addresses only unlock after both sides accept, with shipping proof required
- Email and in-app notifications for offers, replies and dispute outcomes
- The trade board is 18+
Reviews, collections and community Free
Community is your home page: your own feed, your friends, the people you follow, or everyone — plus reviews and public shelves.
- Rate squishiness, durability, firmness, scent and value
- Public collections, pinned favourites and linked socials
- Reviews and collections are 13+; public profiles are 18+, with Safe Mode for teens
Install it like an app Free
Squishy Scout installs to your home screen on iPhone and Android, which is also what unlocks push notifications on iOS.
- Full-screen, no browser bar
- Push alerts once installed and allowed
