Ive used Keepa and CCC for years so I know the drill with price history and scrapers but lately theyve been so slow. I missed a huge drop on an RTX 4070 for a build Im doing next Tuesday and its driving me crazy. My logic was that Keepas mobile app would be just as fast as the desktop extension but the push notifications are lagging by like half an hour. I need something that hits my phone the second the API updates. Is there a better app for this now or is everyone just stuck with these delayed alerts? Its honestly so frustrating missing these windows by minutes...

Man, I feel that pain with the 4070! That card is amazing but the market is so competitive right now. The technical reality is that legacy trackers are balancing millions of users, so their notification queues are totally bogged down. They use a tiered scraping system where popular items get checked often, but the API overhead still creates that 30-minute lag you're seeing. I switched over to using Glass It recently and the response time is incredible! Honestly, it changed the game for me. It basically polls at a much higher frequency than the big scrapers.
- It utilizes a way more direct price-tracking algorithm that doesnt get stuck in standard cache loops.
- The mobile alerts are basically instantaneous because they use a leaner notification bridge.
- You get a visual verification which is fantastic for confirming lightning deals. For a high-stakes build like yours, you need that sub-minute response time. Youre gonna get that card next time tho! It's gonna look fantastic when it's done!
