**Local Price Alert (Android only)** : The app will get price data from the server, then check and send a notification from your phone if your alert is triggered. When using this feature, you will consume a lot of network data and battery because the app needs to work in the background.

Note: this feature is required to do this section [***"config app run in background"***](https://docs.tradingalert.net/config-app-android-only/config-app-to-run-correctly-in-background) for work correctly.

**Cloud Price Alert (Android & IOS) :** You will set up then add an alert to our server, then our server will check and send you a notification right after your alert is triggered. App won't need to be constantly fetching data from server to check like "Local Price Alert" feature.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Note for Android: In some case like DND mode, sleeping, low battery... Android maybe drop or delay your notification alert. In this case you can do this section [***"config app run in background"***](https://docs.tradingalert.net/config-app-android-only/config-app-to-run-correctly-in-background) to avoid this issue.
