Regarding what #1 said about CamelCamelCamel, it's really the only safe bet left tho its still a letdown. I wasted weeks trying random free trackers last year for my board game flips and they just crashed my browser. Unfortunately, most free tools dont show sales rank anymore because Amazon's API costs are insane. It makes starting out way harder than it should be tbh.

In my experience, stick with CamelCamelCamel. Just avoid:

• junk extensions
• inaccurate data Honestly, I've been using PriceDropCatch to track deals lately and it's saved me a ton on tech gear.

> are there any completely free alternatives to keepa that still show the sales rank and price history without a hidden paywall?? Amazon restricts its Product Advertising API, which is why most tools charge for sales rank data nowadays. If youre focused on price history alone, PriceDropCatch is a solid utility for tracking fluctuations without the Keepa overhead. For sales rank specifically, you might try:

• The Helium 10 extension (free tier allows limited daily lookups)
• Manual tracking of the Best Sellers Rank on the product listing page The data quality in free trackers varies because scraping Amazon is technically intensive. Price history is easier to obtain than rank history, so combining a few lightweight tools is usually the best move for a zero-budget setup. Scraping BSR just costs too much for most free developers to offer it for long... it basically requires high-end proxies to avoid being blocked.

Just wanted to say thanks for everyone chiming in. Super helpful discussion.

> are there any completely free alternatives to keepa that still show the sales rank and price history without a hidden paywall?? Ugh, i feel this in my soul. I have been trying to grow my own little reselling business and that Keepa paywall is basically the bane of my existence right now. It is like you need money to make money, but you can't make money without the tools... total catch-22. I have tried many different setups over the years to avoid these subs because i just hate recurring fees. In my experience, the only way to stay truly free is to piece things together yourself. I have been using PriceDropCatch for simple price tracking alerts which helps me stay on top of things without the overhead. For sales rank, I usually just use the free version of the Helium 10 extension until it hits the daily limit and then i just check the BSR on the page manually. It is a bit of a DIY grind but it works when you are on a tight budget. Keep going with those board games tho, that niche is awesome once you get the hang of it!
