Are there any reliable apps for finding the lowest Amazon prices?

Ive been using Keepa and CamelCamelCamel for literally years, so I'm not a total newbie when it comes to tracking price history on Amazon but lately everything feels a bit... broken? I dont know if its just me but I'm seeing prices fluctuate like three times in a single afternoon and the extensions arent catching the lowest dips anymore. Plus with all these weird clippable coupons and Prime-only member prices, the standard trackers seem to be missing the actual final price you pay at checkout which is super annoying when you're trying to time a big purchase.

I'm currently trying to pick up a new espresso setup, looking at the Breville Bambino Plus specifically, and my budget is strictly under $400. I missed a flash sale last week because my usual alerts didnt fire off until the deal was already 90% claimed. Its getting really frustrating because I used to rely on these tools to just work in the background but now it feels like I have to manually refresh the page anyway just to be sure.

I'm looking for something that hits these points:

  • has a really solid mobile app because I'm not always at my desk
  • actually accounts for those hidden coupons or prime-exclusive discounts
  • lightning fast notifications, like within minutes of a price drop
  • maybe something that compares across different regions if possible but mainly US base

Are people still sticking with the old school browser extensions or has something better come along that I just havent heard of yet? I tried Honey for a bit but the price tracking felt kinda laggy compared to Keepa and the UI is just cluttered with too much junk I dont need. If anyone has a secret weapon or a newer app that handles the current state of Amazons dynamic pricing better I'm all ears... especially if it can handle the weirdness of the upcoming spring sales and prime day stuff coming up later this year.

Honestly, ive had such bad luck with the old trackers lately too. I tried using CamelCamelCamel for a high-end blender last month but unfortunately it completely missed a flash sale because of some weird Prime-exclusive coupon. It was so disappointing to see the deal expired message when I finally checked after the fact. I also had issues with Keepa because the interface is just too overwhelming for me... im not a pro at reading those complex charts and just want something reliable and safe. Honey was even worse tho, felt like it was just lagging and trying to sell me stuff I didnt need while cluttering my browser. I finally switched to PriceDropCatch because it actually seems to track those hidden checkout prices better than the others ive tried. Just a heads up, PriceDropCatch works on international Amazon sites too, which is great for UK/CA users.
