I've been trying to find the most accurate tool lately.
CamelCamelCamel looks clean and simple, but I feel like it misses some deals or updates too slowly. Keepa seems more powerful, but it's a bit overwhelming with all the charts and options.
Update: CamelCamelCamel is good and I have used it for 2 weeks. Task Monkey extension is completely exceeded my expectations! It got me back $80 from my early orders.
There is a website called camelcamelcamel. It analyzes an Amazon product showing when it was the cheapest and the products price history.
Just because something is 40% off doesn't mean it's a deal. This website is very handy to weed out the fake "Black Friday Deals".

I've used Camelcamelcamel to track items on Amazon, but I'm looking to track prices on specific kamado grills across the internet. I can probably find UPCs or store SKUs. Is there a site like Camelcamelcamel that'll track and alert for price drops everywhere possible?
EDIT: Thank you for all of the awards! I can't take full credit, my girlfriend told me about it in another sub :)

camelcamelcamel is a website that compares prices of Amazon items, when they were at lowest price/highest, notifies you of deals on items, price histories on items. It's actually been super helpful and that's why I wanted to rant about it lol
It seems like a bunch of data isn't being updated or seen by CamelCamelCamel now (specifically for me the used category), what other sites are people using to monitor these prices?
Things go on sale, and then back to "normal" and it's not showing the sale price on camelcamelcamel. Also, I am getting different prices for the exact same item on 2 different computers.
Feel free to chime in if it's happened to you, or you know what is going on.
Here's an example: https://www.amazon.com/Rocky-Mens-Mobilite-Steel-Brown/dp/B0002LDUTA
Check camel, and it's $123.27. On one browser it's $120.29, and on another it's 115.41. Very strange. What price shows for you?
I've recently made a new Android camel camel camel utility for Android, designed to make it easy to open Amazon listings in camel camel camel.
The app is here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.bwvolleyball.ez.camel
There's a pro mode unlocked with ads, that I plan on offering for a fixed cost later after I understand the target audience. The ads are to support development costs, including ongoing app store costs.
I'm also working on adding more features to make pro mode worth it. Currently there's a pro mode history feature to easily find things you're actively price tracking again.
If there's other features you'd want to see let me know here or on the store listing!
My short bio: In 2008, I created http://camelcamelcamel.com/ -- an Amazon price tracker -- as a code experiment / demo, not intending for it to be a long term project nor really anything other than something interesting to work on. People started (and kept) using it, so I kept working on it, and now it is 9 years later. I currently have two incredibly smart and talented people working with me full-time on the project.
I received a lot of AMA requests in a thread in r/Entrepreneur, so today is the day! To pre-answer the basic stuff... here's our Quantcast profile, for traffic related questions: https://www.quantcast.com/camelcamelcamel.com ; we had our millionth user registration in December 2016; and sorry but I won't be answering questions about our revenue or other incredibly confidential info.
I will be around for most of the day, but need to launch some things today so please forgive me if my responses aren't always immediate.

Edit: After a verification snafu, we are back.
By the way, we've got a fledgling sub r/camelcamelcamel/ if anyone would like to help make it goodly.
Thank you so much for making this site. I always check product price history before big purchases to make sure I'm not buying at a high point. Do you have any plans to expand to checking prices on other websites?
Is there a reason you haven't plugged your Browser Addon anywhere? I'm not sure if you get the same revenue stream from it compared to the site, but it's helped me.
For all those people saying the site looks cool but will forget it, just get the Addon (called Camelizer for Firefox and Chrome) and click it any time you're on a product page! Shows you the history and allows you to setup notifications at the same time.
Thanks for this great service u/L1quid.
Why YSK: Often times Prime Day deals are just the same price they normally are with a sale sticker. They will raise the prices prior to Prime Day and then mark the price back down to the original price. You can use CamelCamelCamel to check the recent prices to see if you're actually getting a good deal. It is worth it to check before you buy. All you have to do is copy and paste the Amazon link onto the website and it will tell you a price history.

There have been some others floating around, but they don't work internationally. They also either only display the price chart image, or open up a new browser window. This one should be international and it opens in an easily dismissible browser view without taking you out of the Amazon app.
It's simple, but I think it's the best.

Why YSK: Amazon has made the decision not to explicitly list tariff impacts, but some buyers may still want to see them for themselves. Canelcamelcamel allows you to see the historical price of most items on Amazon, which will clearly show if there is any recent/sudden spike in pricing. This isn't a 1:1 replacement as it could just be an unscrupulous seller raising prices just because they can- but it still acts as a reasonable alternative.
