Frequently Asked Questions
Is Hold Gold free?
Yes, Hold Gold is free to use. You can track your precious-metals portfolio, view live spot prices and use the analytics and calculators without paying. It runs in your browser, so there is nothing to buy or install. An account is optional and free, used only to save your portfolio so it is there when you return.
Does it support silver, platinum and palladium?
Yes. Hold Gold tracks all four major precious metals: gold, silver, platinum and palladium. You can record holdings in each metal by weight and purity, and they are valued using live spot prices. This makes it suitable for a mixed stack rather than gold-only holdings, so your full precious-metals position sits in one place.
Do I need an account to view live prices?
No account is needed to view live spot prices. You can open Hold Gold in your browser and see current gold, silver, platinum and palladium prices straight away. An optional, free account is only required if you want to save a personal portfolio and use the full analytics across visits, rather than just checking prices.
How often are spot prices updated?
Spot prices in Hold Gold are updated hourly. That keeps your portfolio valuation and the price views reasonably current through the day without you needing to refresh data manually. Because metals markets move, treat the figures as a close, regularly refreshed reference for your holdings rather than a tick-by-tick live trading feed.
Which currencies and languages are supported?
Hold Gold is multi-currency, so you can value your holdings in the currency that suits you rather than a single fixed one. The interface is available in 11 languages. Together this makes it usable for people in different countries who want to see their precious-metals portfolio in familiar terms and read the app in their own language.
Is my portfolio data private?
Hold Gold is privacy-focused and does not sell your data. You can view live prices without an account at all. If you choose to create an optional account to save a portfolio, that data is used to provide the tracking service to you, not sold on. The aim is a useful tracker that respects your privacy.
Can I use Hold Gold on mobile?
Yes. Hold Gold is browser-based with no install required, so you can use it on a mobile browser as well as on a desktop or laptop. That means you can check live spot prices or look at your portfolio from your phone without downloading an app, then pick up where you left off on a larger screen.
