Im literally losing my mind trying to figure out if these deals are actually deals or just fake markups before the big sale next week. I need to buy a new espresso machine for my wifes birthday which is in ten days so Im on a super tight timeline here. Ive been looking at Keepa and CamelCamelCamel but Im torn between them. Keepa seems super detailed but honestly the UI looks like its from 2005 and I heard some of the best features are behind a paywall now which I definitely dont want since my budget is already stretched thin on the actual gift. CamelCamelCamel looks simpler but Ive heard the data isnt always as fast or accurate?
Here is what I need:
- 100% free with no sneaky subscriptions later
- Price history graph right on the product page so I dont have to keep clicking away
- Immediate email or browser alerts when it hits my target price
- Reliable data for the US store
Is there something better than those two that Im missing? Im leaning toward Camel but if Keepa is that much better for free users Ill try to figure out the messy interface... help me decide fast please lol

To add to the point above: Keepa and its free tier is basically enough for checking basic price history. However, you might want to consider that the free version sometimes hides shipping costs in the total. Be careful because that can change whether a deal is actually good or not. I would suggest verifying the final checkout price before you buy that machine to avoid any hidden fees.

Ive used The Camelizer for years and am very satisfied.
- Free alerts
- Instant graphs It helped me snag a cheap espresso machine last year with zero issues tho.

Regarding what #1 said about "Ive used The Camelizer for years and am..."
- Camel is fine, but which machine are you eyeing? Keepas free graph is solid, or try Honey as an alternative.
