PriceWatch vs Slickdeals
Slickdeals is a community that surfaces deals other people found. PriceWatch watches the exact products you chose and tells you when they drop.
What Slickdeals does
Slickdeals relies on user submissions and voting, plus deal alerts based on keywords, so what you see depends on what the community posted.

Frequently asked questions
Will PriceWatch tell me about deals on products I am not tracking?
No, and that is deliberate. PriceWatch only emails you about the specific product links you added, which keeps the inbox quiet.
Can I use PriceWatch and Slickdeals together?
Yes. They solve different parts of the same problem, and nothing stops you from using both. PriceWatch watches the product pages you care about and emails you when the price changes.
Does PriceWatch need a browser extension?
No. You paste a public product URL into your dashboard and PriceWatch re-checks it on a schedule. Nothing is installed in your browser and no browsing data is collected.
What does PriceWatch cost?
The free plan tracks up to 3 products with email alerts on every price change. Paid plans raise the limit to 25 or 100 tracked links.
