## TL;DR

WatchTrack positions itself as "the operating system for modern watch dealers": a web-and-iOS suite with marketplace sync, agreements, market comps and cost/profit analytics. Standard is $147/month; Growth is $297/month and adds the centralized email, SMS, Instagram and Facebook inbox, with a 30-day trial. Kigu does not replicate WatchTrack's sync, inbox or in-app agreements. Instead it uses a linked-device connection to ingest your own WhatsApp dealer groups with AI extraction and buy-request matching, tracks per-piece P&L after fees across 30 currencies in a 9-language interface, and starts lower (free plan, $59/month Pro, $199/month Circle). Choose WatchTrack for broad multi-channel retail operations; choose Kigu when WhatsApp-group deal flow, international reporting and a lower entry price matter more.

WatchTrack and Kigu are both built for professional watch dealers, but their scope is different: WatchTrack spans marketplace listings, messaging, agreements and marketing across web and iOS; Kigu concentrates on linked-device WhatsApp sourcing, inventory and international P&L.

## What WatchTrack does well

WatchTrack describes itself as "the operating system for modern watch dealers" and its listed feature set is genuinely broad: automatic marketplace sync, one-click purchase and consignment agreements, AI lead matching, market comps, cost/profit analytics and — on Growth — a centralized inbox for email, SMS, Instagram and Facebook. It runs on the web and also ships an [iOS app](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/watchtrack-store-management/id6742137623) requiring iOS 18 or later. If multi-channel retail operations are your bottleneck, those are real strengths — several of which Kigu does not replicate.

WatchTrack now publishes [two plans](https://www.watchtrack.com/pricing): Standard at $147/month plus $75 per additional staff member, and Growth at $297/month plus $90 per additional staff member. The centralized inbox, messaging automation and sales-pipeline features sit on Growth. Both plans advertise a 30-day trial; annual billing is shown with a 15% discount.

## Where Kigu is different

- **Linked-device WhatsApp ingestion — shipped today.** Connect your own WhatsApp account, ingest your dealer groups, and let AI extract brand, model, reference, price and currency from the chatter, with buy-request matching on top. WatchTrack's Growth inbox lists email, SMS, Instagram and Facebook; ingestion of your own WhatsApp groups is not publicly listed.
- **Reference-level market price data** inside the app on the Circle plan (subject to account verification). WatchTrack also advertises market comps and price trends, so market data is not exclusive to Kigu.
- **Explicit per-piece P&L after fees** — commission, shipping and expenses across 30 currencies with stored FX rates. WatchTrack advertises cost/profit analytics, but does not publicly spell out the same currency and fee model.
- **9-language web interface** on desktop, Android or iPhone browser. WatchTrack has web and iOS access; its App Store listing names English as the app language.
- **Lower published entry pricing:** free plan ($0, up to 50 items), Pro at $59/month, Circle at $199/month.

> **What Kigu does not do:** Kigu has no marketplace auto-sync, no unified inbox, no in-app agreement generation and no native iOS app. Marketplace data enters Kigu via one-time CSV import (including a Chrono24 export preset), not a live sync. If those WatchTrack features are must-haves, Kigu is not a drop-in replacement — see our [multi-channel dealers page](https://kigu.app/for/multi-channel-dealers) for how dealers run cross-listing alongside Kigu.

## Frequently asked questions

### How much does WatchTrack cost?

As of July 2026, WatchTrack publishes Standard at $147/month plus $75 per additional staff member, and Growth at $297/month plus $90 per additional staff member. Both advertise a 30-day trial and annual billing with a 15% discount. Kigu has a free plan ($0, up to 50 items), Pro at $59/month and Circle at $199/month.

### Does Kigu sync listings to marketplaces like WatchTrack?

No. Kigu imports inventory via one-time CSV (including a Chrono24 export preset) but does not auto-publish or sync listings anywhere. If marketplace auto-sync is essential, WatchTrack covers it; Kigu focuses on WhatsApp capture and P&L.

### Does WatchTrack work with WhatsApp dealer groups?

Ingestion of a dealer's own WhatsApp groups is not publicly listed among WatchTrack's features — its Growth-plan inbox lists email, SMS, Instagram and Facebook. Kigu uses a linked-device connection to ingest the groups you choose, structure listings with AI and match buy requests.

### Is Kigu available as an iOS app?

No — Kigu is web-based and runs in the browser on any device, including iPhone. WatchTrack runs on the web and also ships a native iOS app requiring iOS 18 or later, per its App Store listing.

### Does Kigu generate purchase or consignment agreements?

Not inside the app — one-click agreement generation is a WatchTrack strength. Kigu offers a free standalone [consignment agreement template tool](https://kigu.app/tools/consignment-agreement-generator), but agreements are not part of its inventory workflow.
