Frequently Asked Questions

PriceOwl is a smart price-tracking service that monitors products across 100+ online stores and alerts you the moment a price drops to your target — so you never overpay again.

We currently focus on US retailers: Amazon US, Walmart, Target, Best Buy, eBay, Newegg, B&H, Costco, Home Depot, Lowe's, Macy's, Nordstrom, plus most US Shopify-powered storefronts and 80+ others. International coverage is on the roadmap.

Yes — the Free plan lets you track up to 10 products forever with daily checks and email alerts. Pro starts at $4.99/month.

No installation is required to use the web app. Optional Chrome and Firefox extensions add a one-tap 'Track this' button, and our iOS and Android apps make on-the-go tracking easy.

Free accounts get daily price checks. Pro accounts get checks every 15 minutes during sale events (Black Friday, Prime Day, etc.) and hourly otherwise.

Yes — Amazon US is fully supported. We detect Lightning Deals, Subscribe & Save discounts, and Prime-exclusive prices. Other regional Amazon storefronts will follow as we expand internationally.

Yes — every tracked product gets up to 24 months of price history, an all-time-low marker, and visual seasonal trend overlays so you know if a 'sale' is actually a sale.

Yes. PriceOwl tracks the exact variant you paste — different sizes, colors, or pack counts each get their own price-history series.

We pause price alerts and instead enable an optional 'back in stock' alert. The price history is preserved.

Choose any combination of email, mobile push (iOS/Android), web push, and Slack. Alerts fire within seconds of a price hitting your target.

Yes. You can choose 'alert me when price drops X%' or 'alert me below $Y' — or both. The first condition met triggers the alert.

No. Each item alerts at most once per drop event, and you can set a quiet-hours window so notifications never wake you up.

Yes — cancel from settings in one click. You'll keep Pro features through the end of the billing period.

Yes — pay yearly and save 20%. Annual plans are visible at checkout.

Verified students get Pro for 50% off. Email hello@priceowl.ai with your .edu address.

Yes. The Family plan supports 5 seats with shared wishlists and a weekly digest summarizing your collective potential savings.

Not yet. We're focused on the US market for now so we can get retailer coverage, alerts, and price history right. International support is on the roadmap — join the waitlist and let us know which country you'd like next.

We're prioritizing expansion based on user demand. Tell us your country when you sign up and we'll notify you as soon as we add support.

Yes. We never sell or share your data. Wishlists are encrypted at rest, we use no tracking pixels, and we're fully GDPR and CCPA compliant.

We use affiliate links transparently to fund the free plan. They never affect the price you see, and you can disable them in settings.

Unlike single-store trackers, PriceOwl works across 100+ retailers in one dashboard, refreshes 4× faster than CamelCamelCamel, and stacks coupons automatically like Honey while still showing real historical prices.

Keepa focuses on Amazon power users with deep historical data. PriceOwl matches Keepa's depth on Amazon while also covering 99 other retailers, with a friendlier interface and faster alert delivery.

Pro and Family plans get access to a read-only REST API and outbound webhooks so you can pipe price events into Zapier, n8n, or your own apps.

Yes — paste any Amazon Wishlist URL or upload a CSV with product links and PriceOwl will start tracking the entire list automatically.

Email hello@priceowl.ai or use the in-app live chat (9am–6pm Pacific, Monday–Friday). Pro users get priority response within 4 hours.
