Use case

Watch a price, not a page

Pick the price element once. Every check records its value, so you end up with a chart instead of a vague feeling that it went up.

Why this has to run in your browser

Prices are personalised more than people realise — by account tier, region, loyalty status and cart history. The number a crawler sees is often not the number you would pay. The one in your session is.

Email or Telegram — price moves rarely need you at the keyboard

Step by step

  1. 1Start a refresh on the product page at 5 minutes.
  2. 2Open the side panel, go to the monitor tab, and use the picker to select the price.
  3. 3Turn on numeric parsing and set a threshold such as 'below 199'.
  4. 4Check the data tab after a day to see the chart, or export it to CSV.

If the page you want to watch is public and you need it checked while your computer is off, this extension is the wrong tool — Pulse runs the same kind of check on a server.
