Is CamelCamelCamel the only free option for Amazon price tracking?

So I've been using CamelCamelCamel for like years now to track random stuff but honestly the site feels so clunky and slow lately like it belongs in 2008 or something. I'm planning a pretty big PC build for late November so I really need to stay on top of prices for a specific 1440p monitor and some SSDs. My logic was to just stick with what I know but I keep hearing people talk about Keepa being way more detailed.

The problem is I looked at Keepa and it seems like they want you to pay a subscription for the really good data and I'm strictly on a zero dollar budget for tools because every penny is going toward the hardware. Then there is Honey which is super easy to use but I'm not sure if it actually tracks the long term price history as well as the others do or if its just for coupons.

I'm kinda torn between a few things:

  • sticking with CamelCamelCamel even though the UI is a mess
  • trying Keepa free version if its actually better than CCC
  • seeing if Honey is actually legit for price drops

I really dont want to miss a flash sale because I was using a tool that updates too slowly. Is there anything else out there that I'm missing that doesnt cost a monthly fee or should I just suck it up and use the camel site...

CCC is definitely showing its age, unfortunately. I have had issues with it missing quick sales lately which is a nightmare for a PC build.

  • Keepa free tier still gives you price alerts without the sub.
  • PCPartPicker is way better for hardware tracking.
  • Honey is kinda just for coupons and misses history. Its not as good as expected, but Keepa free is your best bet.
