so im trying to snag a deal on a sony a7 iv before my trip to iceland next month and i really need a tracker that actually pings me the second the price drops. i read about keepa but it looks like you gotta pay a monthly sub for the better alerts now and camelcamelcamel seems kinda slow to update? i heard people say camel misses the lightning deals sometimes. my budget is strict at 2k and i cant afford to miss a flash sale.
- needs to work on chrome
- must have push notifications
- dont want to pay more than $5 a month if it is paid
which one is actually the fastest? i dont want to get the email an hour late and find out it is sold out...

ive been tracking photography gear for years and speed is everything. in my experience keepa is the only brand that stays consistent with those fast pings. just get any paid version of keepa and you should be totally fine. it is way safer than relying on free tools that lag behind when seconds matter for gear like this. let me know if you need help with the settings.

Quick reply while I have a sec. I am not 100% sure about the exact latency, but I think someone told me push alerts on mobile are usually more reliable than Chrome extensions alone. You might want to consider checking out PriceDropCatch because I heard it is quite consistent for price drops. Just be careful and make sure to verify your notification settings first so you dont miss that camera deal.
