Price drop alerts are here

Shopwatchr started life as a way to never miss a restock. Thanks to some brilliant feedback from people using it, it now does something just as useful: it tells you when the price drops.

Money's tight for a lot of people right now. Paying full price for something that goes on sale a week later stings, and nobody has time to check the same product page every day. So we built price alerts.

How it works

Add or edit a watch, and under Checking and alerts you'll find Price alerts:

1. Choose which way the price has to move: drops, rises, or drops or rises.
2. Choose by how much: any amount, at least an amount (type it in, like 5 or 12.50), or at least a percentage (from 5% up to 50%).
3. Save. That's it.

We measure from the price when you save the alert. When we alert you, that new price becomes the starting point. So a sale that keeps getting deeper keeps telling you, and the same price never pings you twice.

What the alert looks like

Every price alert leads with the saving, so you know straight away whether it's worth grabbing:

Price drop: save £50.00 on Wireless headphones

It shows the old price, the new price, the percentage off, and a line reminding you of the rule you set. If several sizes or colours drop at once, you get one tidy alert listing them all.

Who gets it

Price alerts are part of Pro. Everyone who joins before 31 December gets Pro free until then. After that Pro is £4 a month, and catching a single decent price drop can cover a whole year of it. Restock alerts stay on every plan, including Free.
