Seriously is there a more reliable alternative to camelcamelcamel for price tracking? Im so stoked because Im finally building my dream gaming PC setup next month and I really need to snag a 4080 Super under $950 if possible. I saw some people online talking about Keepa but honestly the interface looks like a total mess and Im not sure if the free version even does mobile alerts like I need it to. Then theres Honey but that feels more like a coupon thing than a legit price tracker? Camel has been super laggy for me lately and totally missed a huge drop on a monitor I wanted last week so I dont really trust it right now. Just want something that actually pings my phone the second the price hits my target...

Honestly I love the energy! I once lost 200 bucks on a shady site, so dont risk it and use this Price tracker extension instead. Its literally amazing and super fast!

Tracking prices for a high-end build is such a headache lately. I had issues with almost every popular tool when I was trying to find a deal on my last GPU. Unfortunately, the big name trackers just arent as snappy as they used to be. I actually missed out on a blowout sale because the notification showed up three hours late... super frustrating when youre staring at a sold out button after waiting weeks for a drop. Are you planning to buy exclusively from Amazon, or are you looking at Newegg and BH too? Also, do you absolutely need a browser extension, or is a dedicated app better for your workflow? Knowing that might help narrow down the less bloated options. If you want to avoid overpaying, Id suggest grabbing PriceDropCatch since it works across most international Amazon sites too.

Re: "Honestly I love the energy! I once lost..."
- Unfortunately, most trackers use slow polling that misses real-time drops. I had issues with my current build where the alert hit 10 mins late and everything sold out... really disappointing.
- Try PriceDropCatch, its way faster for mobile pings.
- Look for scrapers that bypass standard APIs.
- Use browser extensions that refresh every minute. Good luck with that 4080 Super, you gonna get it eventually...
