About Price Trail: Drop Alerts
Stop refreshing product pages. Price Trail watches them for you. Paste any product link — Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, Target, and most other stores — and Price Trail checks the price for you, quietly, in the background. The moment it drops, you get a notification. That's the whole idea, and it's free. TRACK ANY PRODUCT • Paste a link, and the app finds the product's name, photo, and current price automatically • Prices are re-checked while you're in the app and periodically in the background • Everything works without an account — nothing to sign up for PRICE-DROP ALERTS • Get notified on any price drop, or set a target price and hear only when it's crossed • Alerts tell you the old price, the new price, and which store COMPARE STORES • Track the same product at multiple stores and see them side by side • The cheapest store is highlighted, always • Open any store's page with one tap when you're ready to buy PRICE HISTORY • A clear chart of every store's price over time — 1 month, 3 months, or everything • See your target price right on the chart • Know instantly whether today's price is actually a deal or just marketing OUTLOOK: SHOULD YOU WAIT? • An on-device estimate of where the price is heading, computed from the product's own history • "Price drop likely", "stable", or "may rise" — with a confidence meter and a plain-English explanation • Calculated entirely on your device. No cloud AI reading your shopping list. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No accounts, no ads, no analytics, no tracking • The app talks only to the store pages you add • Your product list syncs between your iPhone and iPad through your own private iCloud • Works on iPhone and iPad Price Trail is for anyone who's ever thought "I'll buy it when it goes on sale" — and then missed the sale.
What’s new
Version 1.3 · Updated September 9, 2026
Price Trail 1.3 — more accurate prices, from more stores. • Prices are now read from stores that publish no structured product data at all — smaller and independent shops that previously came back as "couldn't find a price on that page." • Fixed three cases where the wrong price could be recorded: a product listed at $39.95 could be stored as $399,500, a page's theme colour could be mistaken for a price, and prices written with thousands separators could be read as a single digit. If a tracked item ever showed an obviously wrong price or an alert that made no sense, this is why. • The iCloud row in Settings now reports what sync is actually doing, rather than only whether you're signed in — with a details view showing the last upload, the last download, and any error. Free, private, no accounts, no ads, no tracking.
