Automatic price alerts when prices drop
Set your target price and receive instant notifications when a product reaches your desired price.
Stop checking prices manually
Online prices change often—sometimes for a few hours, sometimes during a sale you did not notice. Instead of opening the same product page every day, you can use a price drop alert to tell Pricewatcha when to notify you.
Pricewatcha monitors tracked products on a regular schedule and emails you when the current price reaches or crosses your threshold. Combined with price history and trends, alerts help you buy with more context—not only react to a number you guessed.
How price alerts work
- Minimum price: Notify me when the price drops to or below my target—ideal for deal hunting.
- Maximum price: Optional upper limit if you want notice when a price rises above a level.
- Set in the dashboard: Configure thresholds per product in your price tracking dashboard.
- Email notification: Alerts are sent to the email address on your Pricewatcha account.
Prices are refreshed on a schedule (currently about every 6 to 12 hours, depending on the shop). You can also trigger updates manually when you need a fresher check.
Use cases
- Get notified when a refurbished phone drops below your budget.
- Wait for a better deal without checking the shop every morning.
- Use different alert levels for different products in your watchlist.
- Reduce the risk of missing short-lived price drops during promotions.
Frequently asked questions
When do I receive a price alert?
You receive an alert when the tracked product’s current price reaches or falls below your configured target price, based on the latest price check Pricewatcha captured.
Can I delete or change an alert?
Yes. You can adjust or remove alert thresholds from your dashboard when your plans change.
Are price alerts guaranteed?
No. Prices and availability can change quickly, and external shop data may change between updates. The merchant’s price at checkout is always authoritative. Pricewatcha provides monitoring and notifications, not a guarantee of availability or the lowest possible price.
