Our picks

  1. Keepa

    Amazon price history charts and drop alerts.

    Freemium Shopping

Both extensions add price history to Amazon product pages so you can tell whether a discount is real. Keepa layers in more detail, such as buy box and sales rank history, while Camelcamelcamel keeps its charts and alerts simple and easy to read at a glance.

Price history charts on Amazon

Both extensions overlay a price history chart directly on the Amazon product page, showing how the price has moved over time. Keepa's charts include more data series, such as buy box price and sales rank, while Camelcamelcamel focuses on a cleaner chart showing just the listed price over time.

Setting price drop alerts

Camelcamelcamel lets you set a target price and sends an alert when the product drops to or below it. Keepa offers similar price alerts plus more configuration, such as tracking percentage drops or specific sellers, which suits people who track many products closely.

Extra data for sellers and researchers

Keepa's additional charts, including sales rank and buy box history, are useful for sellers researching how a product performs over time, not just shoppers checking a price. Camelcamelcamel stays focused on price tracking for everyday shopping rather than seller research.

Camelcamelcamel vs Keepa: FAQs

Which is better, Camelcamelcamel or Keepa?

Keepa is our top pick for its more detailed charts, including sales rank and buy box history. Camelcamelcamel is a strong free option if you only need a simple price history chart and alerts.

Is Camelcamelcamel free to use?

Yes. Camelcamelcamel is free and lets you track Amazon prices and set alerts without a paid plan, though you typically need an account to receive email alerts.

Does Keepa show more than just Amazon's price?

Yes. Keepa's charts can include sales rank and buy box price history alongside the standard price chart, giving sellers and researchers more context than a simple price line.

How do I set a price drop alert on Amazon?

With either extension installed, open the product page, find the price tracker's panel or icon, and set your target price. You'll get an alert, usually by email, when the price drops to that level.

Is Keepa free or does it require payment?

Keepa is freemium: its core price tracking and charts work for free, with some advanced features available on a paid plan for heavier users.

Do these extensions work outside the US Amazon site?

Both Camelcamelcamel and Keepa support multiple Amazon regional sites, not just Amazon.com, though exact coverage can vary by country.

Which extension is better for Amazon sellers?

Keepa is better suited to sellers because its sales rank and buy box history help estimate how well a product sells over time, which Camelcamelcamel doesn't track.

Can I track a product without creating an account?

You can typically view price history charts on both extensions without an account, but setting up price drop alerts usually requires signing up so the alert can be sent to you.

Do price tracker extensions work on Amazon mobile app pages?

No. Both extensions are browser add-ons that work on the Amazon website in your browser, not inside Amazon's mobile app.

Is there a price history extension that works on other shopping sites too?

Camelcamelcamel and Keepa are built specifically for Amazon. For other retailers, you would need a separate price tracking tool built for that site.

How accurate is the price history shown by these extensions?

Both extensions track prices they've observed over time on Amazon's listing, so history only goes back to when tracking started for that product, and very new listings may show limited data.
