To track an Amazon item before a sale, open its product page and select Price history beside the price. To get notified when it reaches a price you choose, ask Alexa for Shopping on the product page to set a target-price alert. You can also use independent trackers such as Keepa or Camelcamelcamel to view price charts and set alerts.
Check Amazon’s price history before a sale
- Open the item’s Amazon product detail page in the Amazon Shopping app or on desktop.
- Select Price history next to the listed price to view its past prices.
- Choose an available 30-, 90-, or 365-day view. Amazon says its price-history feature is available to customers in the U.S., UK, Canada, and India. Its 2026 guidance described 365-day insights as rolling out in the U.S., UK, and India; availability can vary by listing and rollout.
Use the chart to judge whether a sale price is unusual compared with that item’s recent history, rather than treating a crossed-out price or discount label as proof of a good deal. Amazon suggests asking questions such as “Has this item been on sale in the past 30 days?” or “What’s the price history?” through Alexa for Shopping in the Amazon Shopping app or on desktop.
Amazon reported in 2026 that more than 50 million customers had used price history since its 2024 launch, with customers checking it an average of three times a month. Those are figures reported by Amazon, not independent usage measurements.
Set an Amazon alert for your target price
- Open the product detail page for the item you want to track.
- Ask Alexa for Shopping to create a target-price alert. For example: “Alert me when this drops to $50.”
- When the item reaches the price you set, Amazon says it will notify you.
An alert is not the same as an automatic purchase. Amazon describes Auto-Buy as a separate option that can complete a purchase at a target price using your default payment method. Choose a notification-only alert if you want to review the offer yourself before buying.

Choose based on how you want to track

- Consider Keepa if you want a separate chart-and-alert service; check its current marketplace coverage and alert workflow.
- Consider Camelcamelcamel if email alerts, The Camelizer, or importing a public Amazon list suits your workflow.
Verify the offer before checkout
A price chart helps assess past pricing, but it does not guarantee that the current offer is the one you expect. Before buying, open the live Amazon listing and check the current price, seller, shipping cost, and availability. Confirm the delivered total and that the seller and offer match what you intend to purchase. Camelcamelcamel specifically recommends checking the price on Amazon before purchase.
