Features - Free

The following features are available without charge up to limits -

  • Automatically identifies title, product image, and price on most pages that look anything like a shopping site with a single-click. No need for special configuration for most sites, just one-click and you're tracking
  • Works with sites that require Login, Subscription, Cookies, and/or JavaScript
  • Supports tracking equivalent products within and across shopping sites large and small as a group, instead of you having to dig through each option on each site
  • Works in many languages and currencies without the need for configuration, including mix-and-match of multiple pages on a single tracker
  • Retrieves latest pricing in the background on a schedule and/or when you happen to visit any tracked page yourself
  • Adjusts refresh interval per page to avoid 1) requests with no changes detected, 2) annoying tracked site owners, and 3) triggering bot blockers
  • Avoids automated requests unless your device has been idle for a while to avoid interrupting or slowing you down
  • Highlights 'fake discounts' where vendors artificially raise the list price of an item, and then apply a "discount" to basically the same price
  • Normalizes wording and measurements in listings by doing the math for you to easily see the real difference between options. For instance, sites using '2 for $?', 'Buy 2, Get 1 50% Off', and/or 'Subscribe and Save'
  • Highlights errors caused by unrecognizable changes and/or issues with tracked sites so you can easily fix them, usually by simply visiting the page yourself. For instance, when products aren't publicly listed, you may have to be logged in to see them at all or the prices specifically
  • Shows trending between latest, last, lowest, highest, and oldest prices
  • Alerts on interesting changes via Badge, Popup, and Desktop with an indication of whether or not now is likely a good time to buy

Features - Subscription

The following features are only available with an active subscription -

  • Push notifications for price change Alerts via Email and SMS
  • Detects and captures amounts, units, and pricing for each variant on tracked pages. For instance, if something is sold one-by-one and with varying discounts for multiples, the best price-per-unit option will be highlighted
  • Supports custom configuration of extraction to better handle tracked sites that use strange patterns in their listings
  • COMING SOON - Automatic synchronization of Trackers and Snapshots across Devices
  • COMING SOON - Automatic backup of Trackers and Snapshots in the Cloud

Tips & Tricks

Some combination of the following are likely to streamline your experience, especially if something isn't quite working as you'd expect -

  • Ensure you have an account and are logged in on any target website you'll be watching over time, because it can track deals specific to you and decreases the likelihood of errors
  • If you want a specific product image to be the thumbnail for your Tracker, simply ensure it's the most prominent before adding a Tracker for the page

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

If you don't find an answer to your question or concern here, please file a bug or feature request via the Support Hub or contact us

Honestly, as little as possible, because it's yours.  For more details about what we will and will not do, see Permissions and their Purposes and our Privacy Policy


Simply, double-click on the Title of the Tracker or Page to edit as you see fit, and then hit Enter


The first thing to try is simply visiting the page yourself, because in the background we'll try to automatically fix whatever is wrong.  If that doesn't work, please let us know via the Support Hub


Try to ensure the page highlights the specific variant (e.g. color, size, amount) of the product you're interested when reloaded. Not all Sites use permalinks to a specific option by default, so sometimes it helps to use the "Share" link functionality to get a link to the specific one you want, load that page, and then Track that specific Page


Most of the time this is caused by Sites checking that they're in focus before rendering, so try the following -

  1. Open "Options"
  2. Select "Per Site" tab
  3. Find or Add a Site for the Domain
  4. Change "Use Active Tab" to "Yes"
  5. Select Save at bottom


This may be caused by non-visible content that is included for screen-readers, so try the following -

  1. Open "Options"
  2. Select "Per Site" tab
  3. Find or Add a Site for the Domain
  4. Change "Check Visible" to "Yes"
  5. Select Save at bottom


We're considering adding the ability to choose what you want to pay via https://buymeacoffee.com , https://www.patreon.com , or similar, but trying out regular subscriptions first.  If you'd like "Patron" to become real, please let us know


Tested On

We actively test against hundreds of shopping sites from the massive e-commerce marketplaces, to the online presence of brick-mortar chain stores, to small independent companies hosting their own standalone shopping site


NOTE: The presence of a logo on this page is not meant to indicate any type of relationship between us and that brand.  Instead, this merely indicates that we try our best to make our features work for these sites
