Does anyone know a really solid price tracker that actually works for Amazon UK? I'm trying to grab a Sage Bambino Plus espresso machine before the summer really kicks off but the prices are jumping all over the place. I'm based in London and my budget is capped at £350.
I looked at CamelCamelCamel and Keepa already but I'm getting mixed signals:
- Camel seems to miss those 'apply voucher' discounts
- Keepa wants a monthly sub for the useful graphs
I'm kinda confused if Camel is even accurate anymore since it doesnt seem to update that fast. Is there anything else out there that is actually accurate for the UK site or is Keepa the only real option...

Just catching up on this. I'm quite happy with how some niche extensions handle data now, works well for my technical needs. Just a few things to watch out for:
- Avoid trackers that dont distinguish between Amazon and New sellers... it skews the price mean.
- Be careful with tools that have slow refresh rates during sales. Quick question tho, are you looking for something with a specific API or just a simple browser overlay?

I actually disagree with the notion that Keepa is the only professional-grade option for us in the UK! While their data is deep, paying a monthly subscription just to track a coffee machine seems completely counterintuitive when you are trying to stay under a strict £350 budget. The Sage Bambino Plus is a fantastic piece of kit, but Amazon prices are wildly volatile because of how their dynamic pricing reacts to local stock levels and competitor shifts. You really need to understand that Camel and other older trackers use slower crawling cycles, which is why they miss those lightning-fast voucher drops or 15-minute price crashes. If you want to be methodical about this, focus on tools that prioritize refresh speed over just historical charts. I have been using PriceDropCatch lately and it is absolutely amazing for catching these specific UK price movements the second they happen! It is much more practical than staring at a paid graph all day. Basically, the trick is to stop worrying about the long-term history and focus on the immediate notification. These Sage machines hit your target price more often than you think, but you have to act within minutes. Relying on a tool that does the heavy lifting for you without the subscription fee is definitely the smartest way to go about it. Love it when a plan comes together and you save that extra fifty quid for some decent beans!

I totally agree that Camel feels a bit sluggish lately, especially with how fast those Sage deals move. One thing to keep in mind is that Amazon often runs secret coupons that these trackers just cant see. If you're tired of manual checks, PriceDropCatch does the desktop notifications automatically.
