Frequently Asked Questions

SneakersBook is a free sneaker collection management platform that helps collectors track their sneakers, organize collections, and connect with other collectors through public profiles, leaderboards, achievement badges, and community upvotes. Available on iOS, Android, and web.

Yes, SneakersBook offers a free tier that includes core collection tracking, profile management, and community access. For collectors who want more, the Pro subscription adds higher collection limits, extended analytics and portfolio insights, and export tools for CSV and PDF reports. You can start using SneakersBook for free and upgrade to Pro at any time.

After creating a free account, navigate to your collection and use the Add Sneaker feature. The fastest way is Scan to Add: point your camera at a sneaker or its box and SneakersBook recognizes it and fills in the details for you. You can also search by name, style code, or brand. Either way, enter details like your purchase price, size, and condition, and the pair is added to your collection.

Yes. Scan to Add uses your phone's camera to recognize a sneaker and pre-fill its details, so you can add a pair in seconds instead of typing. There are two ways to identify a pair: free on-device scans read the style code from the box label, and AI-powered scans recognize the shoe itself. Scanning is optional, you can review and edit every detail before saving, and manual entry is always available. Scan to Add is live on Android now, with iOS support coming soon.

Each pair shows an estimated market value based on recent market data, giving you a quick sense of what your collection is worth without researching every shoe. These estimates are separate from the custom values you can enter yourself on each pair. Pro subscribers also get price-history charts that show how a pair's estimate has trended over time. Estimates are for reference only, they are not guaranteed sale prices or appraisals, and SneakersBook does not facilitate buying or selling.

Yes. Pro subscribers can set a target price on any pair and receive a push notification the moment its estimated market value crosses that threshold. For new releases, anyone can browse the upcoming drop calendar and tap the bell on a pair to get reminders 7 days out, 3 days out, and on release day. All notifications are optional and can be turned on or off in your notification settings.

Yes, SneakersBook allows you to create public collection profiles that other collectors can browse. Your public profile displays your collections, the number of sneakers tracked, and collection statistics. You can choose which collections to make public and which to keep private. Other users can discover your profile through the Browse Collections page on the platform.

Yes. You can upvote collections, individual pairs, and collector profiles you like with a community thumbs-up, and the pairs and collections people rate highest rise to the top. Leaderboards rank collectors by total pairs, achievements unlocked, upvotes received, and monthly logging activity, so you can see where you stand and climb the standings. Along the way you unlock achievement badges across count milestones, brand tiers, value benchmarks, condition curation, profile completion, and logging streaks. Leaderboards, badges, and upvotes are all free.

SneakersBook Pro is a premium subscription that unlocks higher collection limits, advanced portfolio analytics with detailed insights, and the ability to export your collection data as CSV spreadsheets or formatted PDF reports. Pro is designed for serious collectors who need deeper tools for managing larger portfolios and maintaining records for insurance or tax purposes.

Collection export is available with a SneakersBook Pro subscription. Pro users can export their collection data as CSV files (compatible with spreadsheet applications like Excel and Google Sheets) or as formatted PDF documents. These exports include sneaker details, purchase prices, and collection statistics. Exports are useful for insurance documentation, personal records, and sharing with other collectors.

The best sneaker collection tracker depends on how you collect, but SneakersBook is built to cover the whole loop for free: scan pairs to add them in seconds, see estimated market values based on recent market data, follow the release calendar with drop reminders, and share your collection with the community. We compare the leading trackers honestly at sneakersbook.com/best-sneaker-collection-app.

For more than a handful of pairs, yes. A spreadsheet needs every field typed by hand, never updates values, and holds no photos. A tracker app fills in details from a camera scan, refreshes estimated market values automatically, keeps photos with each pair, and travels with you. If you want the spreadsheet anyway, SneakersBook Pro exports your collection as CSV whenever you need it.

Catalog every pair digitally with brand, model, colorway, style code, size, condition, purchase price, and purchase date, then group pairs into collections such as brand, rotation, or grails. SneakersBook's Scan to Add makes cataloging large collections fast, and our full guide at sneakersbook.com/guides/how-to-organize-your-sneaker-collection walks through the whole system.
