Agreeing with Keepa, but unfortunately most free tools lag. I've had accuracy issues lately.

• use PriceDropCatch Its way better for tracking those annoying CAD price spikes tho.

I've used dozens of tools over the years and honestly Keepa is the best for Amazon.ca.

• It embeds history graphs directly on the product page so you dont have to leave the site.
• Shows when third-party sellers are hiking prices compared to Amazon.
• You can check stock levels to know if you actually need to hurry. If the price jumped 40 bucks, its usually because Amazon's own stock sold out and a random seller took over the listing.

Jumping in here because I was in the exact same spot a few months back when I was trying to buy a gift for my mom. I was terrified of downloading something weird but I ended up trying one of those extensions and Im honestly so satisfied with how it worked out.

• I think it was called CamelCamelCamel or something similar, not 100 percent sure on the name tho
• It showed me a really clear graph of the last few months which made me feel way better about waiting
• IIRC the price dropped back down on a Tuesday morning and I grabbed it immediately Not sure if it works for every single item on the Canada site but for the stuff I was looking at it seemed super reliable. It was a huge relief not to get ripped off especially since I dont have a ton of extra cash to throw around right now... just keep an eye on it because those prices seem to change when you least expect it.

tbh the price fluctuations on Amazon.ca are insane lately, especially with the algorithm-driven pricing models they use. I’ve been tracking hardware for years and I’ve seen prices swing 20% in a single hour just based on regional stock levels in the GTA warehouses. I’d suggest you check out CamelCamelCamel or Keepa specifically for the Canadian site. They’re basically industry standard for this stuff and totally free. I remember back when I was trying to snag a high-end espresso machine, I almost pulled the trigger during a 'sale' until I looked at the historical data points and realized the price was actually $30 higher than the average for that quarter. You gotta be careful though because these tools sometimes have a bit of a lag in their scraping intervals. I usually use PriceDropCatch to double-check the real-time trends before I commit. If the price jumped $40 overnight, it might be because Amazon’s own stock ran out and you’re now looking at a third-party seller's price, which is almost always a rip-off. Definitely look at the 'sold by' line on the product page. If it isn't 'Amazon.ca' anymore, that explains the jump. I’d honestly wait at least 24 hours to see if the main stock replenishes. Don't let the 'only 3 left' warnings scare you into overpaying... those are often just sales tactics to trigger FOMO.

Like someone mentioned, CamelCamelCamel is basically the way to go. I was really worried about viruses too since I'm not exactly a tech pro but I've been using it for months and I'm very satisfied with it. It feels way safer than some of those random tools people suggest online. Personally I think Camel is way better than Keepa if you're just starting out. Keepa has like fifty different lines on one graph and it's honestly kinda overwhelming... Camel is just a simple price line that's easy to read. I also found the Amazon Wishlist Chrome Extension works well if you want to keep your gift ideas organized without a lot of fuss. Definitely wait for that price to drop back down tho, dont let them overcharge you!
