R4

Scan every vending machine on the server at once

Not one shop. Every shop. Hunt sulfur, HQM or any deal across the whole map, filter it down, then leave a watch running and get told when the stock moves.

The R4 instrument for Vending scan, mounted on its plate and running.
The whole map, in one query
Search by item, by price, by currency. The answer covers every machine the server will tell us about, not the four shops you happened to walk past - and the water well trade pool sits in the same search.
Watch a material or a single shop
Put a watch on sulfur and you are watching it server-wide. When somebody restocks, or the price moves, you hear about it.
Push it into team chat
The !scan command drops the top listings straight into the game, so the group sees the prices without anyone alt-tabbing out.
How the scan works
It reads every vending machine the server's Companion API exposes, indexes the lot, and answers a query across the whole set in one pass - by item, by price, by currency. The full-server scan is in the one subscription, not gated behind a separate shop-search tier.
Your own shop, measured (R16)
Run a shop yourself and R16 tracks it: revenue by currency, units sold, the best sellers and a running feed of sales, per machine. You stop guessing whether a listing is priced right and start reading what actually sold.

About Vending scan

Does it show stock, or just prices?

Both, plus condition. A listing carries what is in the machine, what it costs, which currency it wants, and the wear percentage when the item is used rather than fresh.

Can I get told when a shop restocks?

Yes. Set a stock watch on the item or the machine, and the alert goes wherever you have R101 pointed - the desktop, Telegram, or SMS.

Do I need a separate premium plan for the scan?

No. The full-server vending scan is part of the one subscription, like every other module. There is no shop-search upsell and no second tier to buy.
