Does anyone know a way to make just ONE link that tracks a bunch of products from different websites because I am seriously losing my mind with all these open tabs. I am currently in the middle of a kitchen and bathroom refresh for my place in Austin and I have stuff I want from IKEA, some specific tile from Wayfair, and then like five different things from Home Depot and I cannot for the life of me find a simple way to just... see them all at once?
I have tried using those basic wishlist apps but they always glitch out or they dont update the price when it changes and honestly I am just so fed up with manually copy-pasting URLs into a stupid Excel spreadsheet that I never even open. Its just exhausting. I have a budget of about $5,000 for these fixtures and appliances and I need to get everything ordered by the end of the month but I keep missing sales because I cant keep track of everything across ten different sites.
I tried using Pinterest but that is just a bunch of pretty pictures and it doesnt actually track if something goes out of stock or if the price drops which is what I really need. Then I tried this one Chrome extension but it crashed and lost my whole list of lighting fixtures for the dining room and I almost threw my laptop out the window. I just want a single link I can send to my husband or my contractor so they can see what I am looking at without me having to send twenty separate texts.
- Needs to work with different stores not just Amazon or one big brand
- Actually shows if the price changes in real time
- One shareable link that actually looks decent
- Doesnt require other people to make an account just to see the list
Is there a specific tool or maybe some kind of dashboard that makes this less of a nightmare? I feel like I am wasting so much time just trying to stay organized when I should be actually buying the stuff. My timeline is super tight and I need this sorted by next week or I am gonna lose it...

You might want to consider using a tool like Savelist or even a shared Notion board with web bookmarks, but you should be careful with how these platforms handle dynamic data. Most scrapers rely on the Document Object Model or DOM structure of the webpage. If a site like Home Depot or Wayfair updates their backend code, your single link might break or just stop reporting price drops accurately without warning. I would suggest looking at these specific technical points:
- Check if the tool uses browser-side scraping or server-side checks. Server-side is usually more reliable for background price alerts.
- Make sure it handles variant selection properly. Some tools only save the base URL and wont remember the specific tile color or faucet finish you selected.
- Verify the guest view permissions so your contractor can actually see the list without needing to create a dummy account. Honestly, IKEA is notorious for blocking third-party price trackers due to their weird inventory systems. For a 5,000 dollar budget, I still recommend a manual check once a week because automated alerts often lag by 24 to 48 hours. I have seen price spikes happen and revert before the tracker even pinged the server. It is basically a game of latency. Also, make sure whatever you use has a clean export feature... if you cant get your data out, you are stuck if the app crashes.

> I keep missing sales because I cant keep track of everything across ten different sites. Honestly its such a joke. I tried doing this for my kitchen last month and companies make it impossible on purpose. They change their site code every week just to break tracking tools. Its a total scam how expensive fixtures are now while the quality keeps tanking. Just a massive waste of time trying to get a fair price from these retailers nowadays. ngl its depressing.

Omg I totally feel your pain! I did a full gut reno last year and basically lost my mind until I found Karma which is amazing. It actually scrapes product metadata across different domains to track price deltas in real-time... I used it for my Bosch 800 series dishwasher!
- Save items via browser extension
- Organize into custom dashboards
- One shareable public link Seriously, the data sync is fantastic!
