Amazon changes its product prices nearly 200 times a year and prices can fluctuate around 250%. The price of Amazon products may fluctuate every 15 minutes.  It depends upon various factors such as when the seller alter the price, the festival offers,  demand for the product, competitors change the product price etc,

Even Amazon can change the price of a product for a single user based on the user search. For example, if you are searching for similar products daily on Amazon then you would have got a mail from Amazon with similar products at an offer price. Isn’t it?

This is how Amazon sustains the market for the long term!

Without wasting any more time, let’s see how Amazon automated price tracer works.

How does Amazon price alert tracker work?

In the previous post, I’ve written an Excel macro to scrape Amazon product prices from websites. But this Amazon price tracker is the most advanced, accurate, and efficient since we are tracking the price on Google sheets integrated with Amazon API and send you an automated email when the product price drops.

As of now, it was built only for the Amazon US market,

 It’ll watch the Amazon products prices every day and send you an email containing the list of products that are selling at offer price/low price. So, you can buy/ add products to your cart directly from the mail.

 Here is the sample email

I’ve basically designed two version of Amazon price tracker. Freemium version for ordinary buyers and Premium version for professional buyers/sellers.

Amazon Price tracker – Freemium

Amazon Price tracker – Premium ($5)

With freemium Amazon price tracker, you can track up to 30 Amazon Products. With premium, you can track up to 300 Amazon product prices.

As of now, it’ll work only for Amazon US marketplace. If you want to implement the same for other marketplaces kindly contact me.

Note: When you are buying the Amazon price tracker, please give the email ID that you are using frequently so whenever I add the new features to the tracker you’ll be notified.
