DropCat vs BOOTH: which should you use?
Use DropCat to discover VRChat products through avatar filters, observed favorite growth and product-change history. Use the original BOOTH listing to confirm what is being sold, read the creator's requirements and make a purchase or download. DropCat is an independent catalog.
What is the difference between DropCat and BOOTH?

| Explore favorite growth | Compares observed counters over sampled intervals and offers historical rankings. | Check the source listing for its current public information. |
| Review observed edits | Shows recorded field changes and before/after values since observation began. | Read the creator's current description and any release notes they provide. |
| Search with a screenshot | Experimental image search suggests visually similar indexed products when processing computers are available. | Compare the candidate's original gallery and description. |

Is DropCat a replacement for BOOTH?
It is a discovery companion. Its catalog follows the VRChat search scope and does not cover every BOOTH product. Observations can lag behind the source, prices can change between checks, and tags cannot prove that an asset works with a modified avatar. The original listing is where you confirm the current offer.
