WoW alt trackers compared
There is no single best alt tracker: it depends on which WoW you play, and whether you want it in the game, on a website or both. Here is how five of them compare.

Which one fits you
- VaultAlts if you only play Retail and want your vault progress and keys on your phone without installing an addon.
- WoWthing if collections matter to you: mounts, pets, toys and transmog across several accounts.
- Altoholic if you want everything inside the game, on almost every version of WoW.
- Alts Forever if you play WoW Forever and want a light addon that stays in the game.
- PatchVault if you want to see what is actually in your Great Vault, not only how many slots are open, or if on WoW Forever you want every alt's gear, bags and professions on a website and your phone, dungeon loot with the drops players really saw, and friends, guild and crafters in one place.
