> Keepa only seems to work for Amazon which is super annoying @Reply #2 - good point! Caught this thread a bit late. Unfortunately, most universal trackers are a bit of a letdown. Alerts often arrive way too late, useless for fast sales. I use Capital One Shopping for Newegg and Best Buy but it is not as good as expected honestly. Better than manual refreshing tho. Just stay cautious and dont expect it to be perfect.

@Reply #1 - good point! honestly you might want to consider Distill Web Monitor for Newegg and Best Buy. it is way more powerful than Honey but you gotta be careful not to set the refresh too fast or sites might block your IP.

• works on any webpage
• sends local desktop alerts make sure to watch your ram usage tho because it can get heavy if you track too many items.

> What are you guys actually using for this or am I gonna be stuck refreshing twenty tabs a day... Last year I missed a GPU drop because of manual refreshing, so I switched to this price alert tool for my builds. Are you tracking specific brands or just the lowest price?

Ugh im dealing with the exact same headache right now!! Trying to snag a 4070 Super at MSRP and the lack of reliable cross-platform tools is driving me crazy! Seriously looking for something that wont fail when a price dips for only ten minutes. Here is what i have found so far while testing stuff:

• Keepa is amazing for data accuracy and uptime but being locked to Amazon is a massive dealbreaker for Newegg parts.
• CamelCamelCamel is okay for basic stuff but the notification lag is way too high for fast sales... totally missed a PSU deal yesterday because of it.
• Distill offers the best technical control but if your chrome instance hangs or the pc sleeps you are basically flying blind. I am literally stuck in the same loop of checking tabs manually because I dont trust any of these to hit the mark for my build either! btw if youre shopping with others, Cart to Link lets you share your whole Amazon cart as a link — super handy for group buys

> @Reply #4 - good point! The struggle with cross-platform tools is exactly what I ran into when building my first setup last year. I spent weeks trying to find one tool that did everything perfectly but realized most have specific trade-offs.

• Distill Web Monitor: This is what I used for Newegg and Best Buy. It is powerful because you can select specific parts of a webpage to monitor. Pros are definitely the speed and local alerts, but the cons are that it uses a lot of RAM if you track twenty items at once. It can kinda lag your browser if you arent careful.
• PCPartPicker: I relied on this for the broader view. Pros: it compares prices across almost every major retailer at once. Cons: the alerts can be delayed by a few minutes, which is risky for high-demand parts like GPUs when stock is low. I found that using a local monitor for high-priority items and a general tracker for the rest was the most efficient way to stay under budget without constantly hitting refresh myself... it takes some setup but it works.

Facts.
