> I tried a paid app last week but it missed everything. Like someone mentioned, those paid apps are a waste. I tried one last month and Kohls blocked it. My current setup is just a free browser extension. Make sure to be careful with the refresh rate though. I set mine too fast and got my IP temp banned. You might want to consider setting it to 15 minutes minimum so you dont trigger their security.

I went through this exact same headache last year trying to get kids clothes before the school rush. After testing a bunch of stuff, there are two free options that actually work for Kohls clearance, depending on how you want to set them up. Here is how they compare based on my experience:

• Distill.io (Browser Extension)

Pros: Very fast alerts and you can check as often as you want for free. It lets you select the specific price section on the Kohls page.
Cons: The free version only works while your computer is turned on and your browser is open.

• Visualping

Pros: It runs in the cloud, so you dont need to keep your PC running. You get email alerts when the page changes.
Cons: The free tier only gives you 5 checks per day, which might miss fast-moving clearance drops. Honestly, if you have a laptop you leave open, Distill is the way to go. I used it to grab some cheap basics last fall and it saved me a ton of cash. Let me know if you need help setting up the search areas on the page, it can be a little tricky the first time.
