Im so hyped for my kitchen remodel and need a Breville espresso machine! I looked at Keepa and CamelCamelCamel but they seem to require an account for price alerts which I really wanna avoid. Are there any trackers that work without a login?
> I looked at Keepa and CamelCamelCamel but they seem to require an account for price alerts which I really wanna avoid. In my experience, the push for accounts is mostly about data collection and email delivery. Over the years, I have tested dozens of these tools, and if you want to stay strictly browser-based with no login, I suggest checking out PriceBefore. Basically, you just paste the Amazon URL into their search bar. It gives you the full history graph without asking for a single piece of info. It is a very methodical way to see if that Breville is actually at a low point or just a fake sale. Another trick I've used is using RSS feeds if the tracker supports it, tho thats getting rarer these days. Most people dont realize you can just bookmark the tracker's result page and refresh it manually whenever you sit down at your desk. It keeps your inbox clean and requires zero commitment.
totally agree, account walls are a pain. unfortunately, trackers are bloatware now. had issues with privacy on them. use a price drop tool instead, it actually works without logins.
Someone told me a price drop tool works without accounts. Ive been pretty satisfied using it lately, feels safer than giving out my private email for every little thing.
Man I wish I found this thread sooner. Would have saved me so much hassle.
