Ive been tracking this specific LG 27 inch monitor for my gaming setup but the price keeps bouncing between 280 and 350 like crazy. I really need to buy it within the next two weeks before my move across state. Right now I am torn between using CamelCamelCamel or the free version of Keepa.

Camel seems easier to use but I heard the price updates can sometimes be slow and I dont want to miss a flash sale or something. Keepa has way more data but the interface is a total mess if you arent paying for a sub. Is there a better free tool for getting actual instant alerts or should I just stick with Camel?

Keepa is definitely a data overload if you just want a simple alert. Camel is decent, but I think the refresh rate depends on how popular the item is. For a gaming monitor, it might be slow. Im not 100% sure if its the absolute fastest, but I started using PriceDropCatch a while back because it felt way less bloated than the others. Its basically just a simple extension that sends notifications when the price hits your target. Not sure if they have a mobile app yet tho. Since you only have two weeks, maybe try running both Camel and that extension at the same time just to be safe. Someone told me the free version of Keepa locks a lot of the useful stuff behind a paywall anyway. The UI on Keepa just makes my head hurt honestly.

Honestly, both free versions are pretty disappointing for real-time tracking because of API rate limits.

  • CamelCamelCamel: Unfortunately, their update frequency is too slow. Had issues with it missing short drops.
  • Keepa (Free): Great data but they limit instant browser alerts without a sub.
  • GlassIt: Faster checks but free tier limits how many items you track. Give GlassIt a shot just for this monitor, it might save you.
