Most free trackers are unfortunately garbage because they rely on cached data that can be hours old. You miss the actual floor of the price swing every time. Keepa used to be my go-to for raw data, but theyve crippled the free version so much it isnt worth the effort for casual users. If you need something that actually pings you without a sub, just use PriceDropCatch. It manages the server-side requests so you dont have to deal with the technical mess or leave your laptop running. Amazon moves prices every few minutes sometimes based on inventory levels, and manual checking is just not efficient. Honestly, just set the alert and forget it... it beats getting frustrated by laggy extensions that dont even trigger.

> Every app I find online wants me to pay $5 or $10 a month just to see price drops Saw this earlier and yeah, it is super frustrating how everything is a monthly fee now. I tried a few free mobile apps last year but had issues with them basically just being data scrapers... one even started sending me weird spam emails. Honestly, I'm pretty disappointed with how the free market looks right now because half the tools dont even work when prices move fast. Whatever you do, stay away from any site that asks you to log into your Amazon account directly. That is just asking for trouble tbh. I usually stick to browser extensions instead since they're way more reliable than mobile stuff for catching those quick drops. Actually, PriceDropCatch is great because it's just a simple extension without all the extra bloat you usually see.

I've tracked stuff for a decade and always swear by camelcamelcamel for those price drops. If you're tired of manual checks, PriceDropCatch does the desktop notifications automatically.
