It gets overwhelming fast.
Many gold and silver owners struggle to keep up with what they have, what they paid, what it is worth today, and what the markets are doing — and what all of that means for their stack.
Over time, the details pile up — and uncertainty starts to creep in.
Years go by. Receipts can get lost. It gets easy to lose track of what you paid.
If your records are scattered or outdated, value, cost basis, and gain or loss can become a guess.
When your tax preparer asks for metals records, trying to reconstruct years of purchases can feel overwhelming.
News, YouTube, forums, and market opinions pile up fast — but which signals really matter to your gold and silver?
Markets move whether you're watching or not. Important changes can happen before you ever see them.
If something happened to you tomorrow, would they know what you own, what it's worth, and what comes next?
Most stackers never think about this until it's too late.

JUST STARTING
You're in the perfect place. It's super easy to use — add your first coin in seconds and instantly see what you own and why it matters. And you're never alone: if you're ever unsure, Ask Beacon is right there to walk you through it in plain English.
ON A SPREADSHEET
You already know it's a little bit wrong — a stale price, a purchase you never logged, a formula that broke somewhere back in 2023. Import your file and it's current from here on out, updating itself while you get on with your life.
SWITCHING OVER
You'll feel the difference fast. Deeper market data, the full report library, an assistant that explains everything in plain English, and privacy that never asks your name. Bring your stack over and see the difference for yourself.
SERIOUS STACKER
Finally, a tool that respects the size of what you've built — the deep charts, the planning tools, and the tax, estate, and IRA reports serious stacking demands. Room for a big stack, real macro analysis, and total discretion. Your stack, handled the way it deserves.
WHY WE BUILT THIS
We've been metals people for decades. Somewhere along the way it all got overwhelming — headlines, forums, newsletters, everyone with an opinion and most of them with something to sell. We wanted something simpler: a way to see our own stack clearly and cut through the noise.
What we wanted was simple. One private place showing what we owned, what it was honestly worth, and what was happening to the dollar we measured it in. Real charts on the forces that actually move metal — not just a spot price ticker. Reports we could hand an accountant, an insurance agent, and our own family. Alerts to catch the quiet stuff while we were busy living. And privacy that meant privacy: no name, no tracking, nobody knowing our business.
We never found all of it in one place. So we built it.
That's why StackBeacon has 17 charts instead of a handful, each with a plain-English read underneath. Why there are 10 reports covering tax, estate, insurance, IRA, and family — because we needed every one of them ourselves. Why up to 25 alerts stand watch on price, ratio, value, and the macro signals almost nobody catches alone. Why Ask Beacon gives straight, plain-English answers about your own stack. And why we never ask your name — because we wouldn't have given ours either.
$99 a year — twenty-seven cents a day — gets you all of it: every chart, every report, every alert, the planning tools, and the full Intelligence Desk working for you 365 days a year.
Not ready for the full desk? Premium is $39, paid once. Not a year — once. Fifty holdings, twelve charts, eight reports, ten alerts, and the planning tools, yours to keep. Most stackers spend more than that on a single silver round.
And if you'd like to see it for yourself first, the free level is right there — no name, no card. Just know the charts and reports are where this thing really earns its keep.
We spent over half a year building the tool we couldn't buy.
Now you can just buy it.

Included at every level — even the free one
Join StackBeacon at any level and we'll show you the little-known dealer we buy from ourselves. We've known and worked with the man who runs it for 15 years, and he's who we buy our own metals from.
It's a buyers' club with a small membership fee — that's how they keep prices at cost instead of marking up every coin. Members there save an average of 7–10% against the biggest names, on the very same Eagles, Maple Leafs and bars.
SAVINGS ON A SINGLE $5,000 ORDER, 7–10% IS
$350–$500 more metal in your safe
That's three to five years of Beacon Intelligence, paid for by your first order. Wouldn't you rather that stayed in your stack?
StackBeacon strives to be the best metals app there is. We're simply making you aware of the best value we've found, as a benefit of membership. Feel free to use them, or use any dealer you like — the app works exactly the same either way, and we'll never ask.
See the full details in Resources →WHAT WE GET OUT OF IT
Straight up: we're an affiliate. If you buy through our link we may earn a small commission — paid by the company, never added to your price. We feature them because we truly believe they offer the best metals prices you'll find anywhere.
Don't take our word for it — check it yourself. Pick the exact coin or bar you want, look at the club's price, then pull up any other dealer you like and compare. Just make sure it's the same item. If they're not cheaper, don't use them. We'd tell you the same thing over coffee.

FREE PLAN DETAILS
See your whole stack in one private place — what it's worth today, and the real story behind why you stack it. No spreadsheet, no name required.
Best for: any stacker who wants a clear picture of what they hold — and a real understanding of the why behind the metal.
Track up to 10 holdings on a clean, easy-to-use dashboard with current gold and silver prices. Already keep your stack in a spreadsheet? Bring it straight in — import your CSV or Excel file and skip the retyping. Log every buy and sell with your full history, and see it all in simple visuals — allocation pie, the Stack Allocation pyramid, performance chart, and your total worth, cost basis, and gold/silver ratio building over time.
Every coin and bar you own, in one private place, worth what it's worth right now — no more late-night spreadsheet math, no more wondering where you actually stand.
4 real-data charts, free to everyone: Your Stack — What It's Worth, The Shrinking Dollar, What If You'd Stacked?, and the Gold/Silver Ratio.
A number tells you what. These tell you why. These show you the story your money is telling — what cash quietly loses over time, what a simple monthly habit would've grown into, and which metal is the better buy right now. The stuff that reminds you exactly why you started.
Ask Beacon 3 questions a month, in plain English, right on the page you're looking at — and get real answers about your own stack: what it's worth, your gain, your gold/silver mix.
A straight, plain-English answer tied to real data — no hype, no guessing, no upsell. Just what's actually true about your stack, right when you need it.
The Shrinking Dollar, What If You'd Stacked? and Dealer Markup — see in seconds what cash, gold and silver have really done over the years.
Watch a dollar shrink while gold and silver hold their ground — the whole case for stacking, in one picture.
Add new metal by snapping the receipt — 5 scans to get you started. Got a bigger backlog? Bring it all in at once with spreadsheet import.
Logging a new purchase takes seconds, not typing — and your whole history comes in the easy way.
The Family Holdings Summary — a clean, printable emergency reference. The sensitive details are always entered by you, offline — never stored on StackBeacon.
If something ever happened to you, the people you'd leave it to would know exactly what you have and where it stands. Most stackers never think about this until it's too late. Yours starts with it — free.
Set up to 2 price and ratio alerts.
Name your number — "tell me when silver hits $X," or "when the ratio crosses 90" — and stop refreshing prices all day. Beacon taps you the moment it happens.
No name required — use any email. Your stack stays saved for you across visits, and your information is never shared or sold.
We never ask who you are, and your holdings are yours alone — never handed to anyone, never sold, never used to sell you something. That's not a feature we bolted on; it's the whole point.
PREMIUM PLAN DETAILS
One report at Free. Eight at Premium — plus the deeper chart library and the planning tools serious stackers actually use. A big step up from the starter level, unlocked for one payment and yours to keep.
Best for: the stacker who wants a real jump up from the starter level — deeper reports, charts, and planning tools — for one simple price.
Complete Holdings · Purchase History · Tax & Sales · IRA Holdings · Estate & Legacy · Insurance & Appraisal Schedule · Editable Worksheet · Annual Stacking Review — all exportable to PDF, Excel, or CSV. The sensitive details are always completed by you, offline — privacy always.
This is the part of stacking nobody warns you about. Tax time stops being a shoebox of receipts — you hand your accountant a clean report of your realized gains and holding periods, and let them do the rest. Your heirs get a formal report of what you have and where it stands. Your insurer gets a real valuation schedule. This is the paperwork that protects what you've built — the part most stackers only wish they had when it was needed.
13 real-data charts in all — 10 on the Markets page and 3 on the Macro page — central-bank buying, silver's supply deficit, peak gold, inflation and the dollar, global liquidity, the debt supercycle, and more — plus 100+ years of history and a purchasing-power table.
The macro picture most stackers have to chase across five different websites, all in one place. See in black and white what a single ounce actually bought decades ago versus today. This is the "why metals move" education, at real depth.
Stack Builder, a Dollar-Cost-Averaging simulator, Cost-Basis & Break-Even, and a Purchasing Power simulator.
Set a regular buy and a goal, then watch your ounces and value grow toward it. Know your true average cost and the exact price where your stack turns a profit — so you buy on a plan instead of a hunch, and always know where you stand.
Free gets you 10 holdings. Premium takes you to 50.
Room for a serious pile — every coin, bar, and stash logged, no matter how far it's grown.
Your questions go from 3 a month to 5 — and Beacon can now reason over your tax and estate reports, not just your day-to-day stack.
Ask it to walk you through your realized gains and holding periods in plain English — a clear read of your own numbers to take to your accountant. It states the facts and the math; it never gives tax advice or tells you what you owe. Straight, honest, yours.
Your receipt scans go from 5 to 20.
Log more of your buys the fast way — snap and done — while any big backlog still comes in through spreadsheet import.
Go from 2 alerts to 10, and add alerts on your total stack value, not just spot.
"Tell me when my stack crosses $X." Set the levels that matter to you and let Beacon watch them, so you never miss the moment you've been waiting for.
Unlock every Premium feature for a single $39 payment.
Pay it once and everything in Premium above — every tool, report, and chart — is unlocked for you. Simple as that.
BEACON INTELLIGENCE DETAILS
The questions that keep you up at night — answered in plain English, by a metals analyst with nothing to sell you.
When you have a question about your stack or the market, Beacon Intelligence puts the tools and the plain-English answers right in front of you — built on real numbers, with no dealer, no broker and no commission behind them — so the important calls stay yours, made with your eyes open.
Premium is the toolbox. Beacon Intelligence is someone using the toolbox for you.
Best for: the stacker who doesn't just want the data — he wants someone making sense of it, all year long.
EVERYTHING IN PREMIUM, PLUS
ASK BEACON · THE INTELLIGENCE DESK
Ask Beacon — 25 questions a month to your own AI metals analyst, any hour, from something with nothing to sell you. Behind it sits a working analyst layer, built around your stack:
Like having a sharp analyst on staff who reads everything so you don't have to — and only taps you when it's worth your attention. Walk away for a month, come back, and get a straight answer to the one question that matters: is the reason I own metal still holding up?
ENVIRONMENT SCORE + INSIDER CHARTS
All 17 charts fully open — every Markets and Macro chart, including the four "insider" charts held only for this level: Gold During Market Stress, Gold vs. S&P 500, Real Yields & Gold, and the Yield Curve & Recession signal. And beneath every chart, a plain-English "what this means for you" read.
Crisis behavior, valuation, a key driver behind gold, and the recession signal with a strong track record — the charts a real analyst watches. And under each one, a translation in plain English, so the data never just sits there looking smart — it tells you what to make of it.
RETIREMENT PLANNER · ALLOCATION · STRESS-TEST
Forward-looking tools built for the long game: a Retirement Income Planner, a Historic & Future Allocation Simulator, an Annual Wealth-Preservation Review, and a Portfolio Stress-Test.
Get a read on what your metals could support in retirement, test how your mix would've held through past crises, and see your year in review — what you added, sold, and how it performed. The long view, made personal — as a record for your own planning, never advice.
SMART ALERTS · WHAT'S CHANGED · MONTHLY BRIEFING
The alerts that only make sense with an analyst behind them: smart macro alerts (real yields turn negative, the curve un-inverts, a recession signal fires), allocation-drift and goal tracking, plus a monthly email briefing and weekly digest. You choose what you're notified about, how often, and how it reaches you.
"You've drifted to 81/19." "You're 62% of the way to your 100 oz goal." "Real yields just turned negative." The signals you'd never catch checking on your own — caught for you, day and night, and only the ones you asked for. Full control: the info you want, when you want it, the way you want it.
THESIS ENGINE · VALUE ZONES · THE RATIO
Your Beacon Thesis Engine: tell us why you stack — inflation, the dollar, the debt, insurance for your family — and we check it against what the market is actually doing, month after month. Alongside it, Value Zones and the gold/silver ratio show which metal is historically cheap against the other, and where today sits versus decades of history.
Facts and context — never a recommendation. Walk away for a month, come back, and get a straight answer to the one question that matters: is the reason I own metal still holding up? And when you're ready to add, you'll know which metal history says is the better value today.
Track up to 500 holdings and set up to 25 alerts.
However far your stack goes, it's covered — and Beacon is watching more of it, more closely, than at any other level.
Beacon Intelligence is the living service on top of everything you own — updated, watched, and refreshed all year. Go annual at $99/year and save about 31% versus paying monthly — nearly four months free. Prefer to pay month to month? It's $11.95/month. Cancel anytime; your stack and records are always yours.
This is the level that shows up every day — reading, watching, and briefing you as the world changes. That's why it renews: it's not a set of files you keep, it's an analyst who keeps working. And it's yours to pause whenever you like.
You get everything — all the charts, all the reports, all the tools, the full Intelligence Desk, all the planning features, and more.
Nothing held back. This is the complete StackBeacon — you get it all.

Yes. Upload a CSV or Excel file, or paste your rows. That includes a file exported from another tracker. StackBeacon reads the columns automatically and shows you a preview before anything is added.

Yes. StackBeacon runs right in your web browser on a phone, tablet or computer, with nothing to download or install. On your phone, add it to your home screen for one-tap access.

Your stack is stored securely in the cloud and locked to your own login, so you can see it from any device. Your connection is encrypted, and passwords are never stored as plain text. We never ask for your name; any email address will do. We never sell or share your information. Anything especially private, like where your metal is kept, should be hand written or typed on your printed reports at home, never online.
Your email and password, same as anywhere else — and the email can be any address you like. We just never ask who's behind it. Your login is how you get in; your identity is none of our business.
No, and it never will be. StackBeacon explains and records — it won't predict a price or tell you to buy or sell. You get the data and the reasoning; every decision stays yours.
Not at all. The Member Bonus is there because we use them ourselves and think you'll do well — but StackBeacon works exactly the same whether you buy from them, your local shop, or anyone else. Nothing here depends on where you get your metal.
Know what you own. Understand what's happening. Stay organized. And have StackBeacon there when you need it.
Everything organized in one place.
Plain-English tools, insights, and answers.
StackBeacon helps you stay informed and on track.
