Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, the app and extensions are free. Sign in to use the iPhone app or web tracking and sync your watchlist. The browser extension also works without an account.

Official downloads are available for:

• iPhone app (App Store)
• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Microsoft Edge
• Safari on macOS (Mac App Store)

Brave, Opera, Vivaldi, and other Chromium browsers can use the Chrome Web Store version.

PriceDropCatch currently supports 34 retailers — marketplaces, electronics, home, apparel, beauty, gaming, and specialty stores. See the full list on the Stores page.

We're always working to add more stores. Send us a request if you'd like to see a specific retailer added.

On iPhone, sign in, then share a product link to PriceDropCatch or paste it in the app. Set an optional target price and allow notifications for push alerts.

With the desktop extension, navigate to any product page on a supported store. A "Track Price" button will appear on the page (usually near the price or "Add to Cart" button). Click it, and the product will be added to your tracking list. You can view all tracked products by clicking the extension icon in your toolbar.

The extension’s local checks default to 60 minutes while your browser is running; this interval is adjustable in extension settings.

Products added on iPhone or the web are scheduled for daily server-side checks. You can close the app and browser. Timing may vary with store availability and the collection queue; allow iPhone notifications to receive push alerts.

For each tracked product, you can set an alert price — the maximum price you're willing to pay. When the detected price falls to or below that threshold, you'll receive a browser notification.

To set an alert, click the bell icon (or "Alert at $—") on any product card in the popup and enter your target price.

The button only appears on individual product pages of supported stores — it won't appear on category, search results, or home pages. If you're on a product page and the button doesn't appear:

• Try refreshing the page
• Make sure the URL matches a product page format (e.g., Amazon's /dp/ URL)
• The store may not be supported yet — let us know

This can happen when:

• The retailer's website structure has changed and we haven't updated the adapter yet
• The product requires you to be logged in to see pricing
• The retailer's website blocked the background fetch (bot protection)

You can still track the product — the last known price is preserved. Let us know if a specific product consistently fails so we can investigate.

For the extension, by default, yes. Tracked products stay in your browser unless you sign in. iPhone and web tracking require sign-in and store your watchlist on our servers; iPhone push alerts also use a registered device token. Public price-history pages are crowdsourced separately and do not include your personal watch list. See our full Privacy Policy for details.

Click the ✕ button on any product card in the popup to remove it. All data is also automatically deleted when you uninstall the extension.

Currently, no. The extension uses chrome.storage.local which stores data only on the current device. Cross-device sync is on our roadmap for a future release.
