A free Amazon price tracker does not have to be a browser extension. AyeWatch has a free preview that runs on the web and on your phone, while CamelCamelCamel and Keepa offer free tracking built around Amazon pages and their browser add-ons.
Mayavoo readers like things that open in a tab and just work. This piece sorts the free options by how much you need to install.
The short version
| Option | Free part | Needs an extension? | Stores |
|---|---|---|---|
| AyeWatch | Free preview, no card | No, web and phone apps | Any public page |
| CamelCamelCamel | Free tracker and email alerts | Optional (The Camelizer) | Amazon |
| Keepa | Add-on free to start, no account | Charts on product pages come from the add-on | Amazon |
AyeWatch: free to try, no install
AyeWatch runs in the browser and as an iOS and Android app, so there is nothing to add to Chrome or Firefox. You paste the Amazon link, then type what you are waiting for: "ping me if this headset goes under $80". It checks the page for you and sends a push notification with a one-line summary when the page changes in the way you asked.
The free preview needs no credit card and does not renew; it is a way to see whether the alerts suit you. After that, paid plans start at $9 a month and are billed in monitoring credits. Paid plans also add email, Slack and Discord alerts, while push and the in-app feed stay on every plan.
It is the pick here because it costs nothing to start, needs no extension, and keeps working when the thing you want is sold somewhere other than Amazon.
CamelCamelCamel: free and Amazon-only
CamelCamelCamel describes itself as a free Amazon price tracker. You find a product on its site, set the price you would pay and wait for an email. If you do want an extension, The Camelizer adds a price history chart to Amazon product pages. Its listing names Amazon in the US, Canada, Australia and most of Europe.
Keepa: free add-on, lots of data
Keepa's add-on draws price history charts on Amazon listings and can alert you when a price falls under your target or an item comes back in stock. It says no account is needed to start, and it covers eleven Amazon country sites. The detail is the attraction, and also the reason it feels busy if you only want one alert.
Which free option to choose
- You hate installing things: AyeWatch. Web or phone, nothing else.
- You want a chart of past prices: Keepa or CamelCamelCamel. AyeWatch does not show price history, so this is where the Amazon specialists are the better pick.
- You buy from more than one shop: AyeWatch, since the two others only read Amazon.
- You just want an email and nothing more: CamelCamelCamel.
A tip for free tracking
Set one alert per item and be specific. "Below $80" beats "cheaper", and a rule that names the colour or size you want saves you from alerts about the wrong variant. AyeWatch reads that kind of sentence as written, which is the main reason it suits people who do not want to fiddle with settings.
