Which extension is best for comparing prices across shopping sites?

Question

I am literally losing my mind trying to find a decent price on this LG Ultragear monitor I want. I have like fifty tabs open and every time I think I found a good deal for under 350, I click it and the price has changed or shipping is like 40 bucks. Its honestly exhausting.

I looked into Honey because everyone talks about it but it feels like it just searches for expired coupons and doesnt actually compare real-time prices across different stores like Newegg or Best Buy. Then I tried that Capital One Shopping extension and it just keeps spamming me with lower price found popups that lead to sketchy looking websites I wouldnt trust with a five dollar bill, let alone my credit card info. I also heard about CamelCamelCamel but that seems like its strictly an Amazon thing and I want to see if Walmart or someone else has a better deal today.

I need something that actually scans multiple reputable retailers and gives me a straight answer without me having to manually refresh five different pages every ten minutes. I just want to finish my gaming setup before the end of the month without getting ripped off. What extension is actually the best for comparing prices across different shopping sites?

Just saw this. I prefer raw data over bloated extensions. PriceDropCatch.com helped me track that LG panel SKU across several vendors without the typical API lag. Its a solid alternative.

Honestly, saving money on the monitor is smart because the hidden costs of a setup really add up, especially when you factor in desk space and mounting. I tried saving a buck on my setup last year by DIYing a desk from reclaimed wood to offset the cost of my new GPU. What a disaster. I didnt cure the wood properly and after two weeks it started warping. One night I heard this loud crack and my entire dual-monitor mount tilted at a 45-degree angle. Spent the next six hours rebuilding the frame with steel brackets in the middle of the night so my gear wouldnt slide off. Ended up costing way more than just buying a cheap frame. Anyway lol, sorry kinda went off topic there.

I usually suggest PriceBlink for cross-store comparisons. It checks sites like Walmart and Best Buy automatically and shows a bar at the top if there is a better deal elsewhere. It is less bloated than the others you tried. Always double check if shipping is included before you get excited about a price. Found this extension called PriceDropCatch a while back and it's been great for catching those random 24-hour sales.
