Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.8
GPA, above 16 of the 16 other Amazon seller tools we grade
Keepa tracks the price history of Amazon products across 11 Amazon stores and alerts you when a price drops or an item is back in stock. Shoppers use it to spot fake discounts; sellers use its sales rank, Buy Box, offer count and review history to judge demand and competition. It runs on the web, as a browser extension, as phone apps and through a developer API.
To get you started, here are 8 things to know about Keepa, taken from its own pages and our grades.
Its prices couldn't be read, so check those on keepa.com first.
- 1
Best for Amazon price and sales rank history
Shoppers use it to spot fake deals, and sellers use its sales rank and Buy Box history to judge demand.
- 2
There is a free plan
The site, browser extensions and phone apps are free to use for price history charts and price-drop alerts. Which data needs a paid subscription could not be confirmed.
- 3
It runs on 3 platforms
Web, iOS and Android, with a browser extension too.
- 4
Price history charts
Charts the new, used and Warehouse Deals prices of Amazon products over days or years, to show the lowest past price and seasonal patterns.
- 5
Price-drop and stock alerts
Set a desired price and Keepa notifies you when the product drops to it or comes back in stock, which sellers also use to watch competitors.
- 6
Seller market data
Shows sales rank history, Buy Box statistics, offer counts and rating and review history for judging a product's demand and competition.
- 7
A 2.8 GPA, above 16 of 16
That is against the other Amazon seller tools we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 8
Keep it
To replace Keepa you would be making data from Amazon's seller tools and years of sales estimates. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

The report card
Best for Amazon price and sales rank history
Keepa charts the price history of Amazon products across 11 stores and pings you when a price drops or stock comes back. Shoppers use it to spot fake deals, and sellers use its sales rank and Buy Box history to judge demand. Its prices couldn't be read, so check those on keepa.com first.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | No price on record: Keepa's pricing loads only inside its web app, which our reader couldn't open. With nothing published to compare, it sits at C, the grade for no stated price. |
| Free plan and trial | B | The site, browser extensions and phone apps are free for price history charts and price-drop alerts. That's plenty for shoppers. Which seller data needs a paid subscription isn't confirmed, so sellers may hit a limit we can't see. |
| Features | C | It does price and market history fully: charts going back years, price and stock alerts, sales rank, Buy Box and offer history, a barcode scanner and an API. It's data only, though, with no profit, inventory, listing or ad tools. |
| Ease of use | A | 4.8 from 1,539 App Store ratings. Add the extension and the chart sits on every Amazon product page, and the phone app checks prices by barcode in a shop. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, extensions for Chrome, Firefox and Edge, and iPhone, iPad and Android apps, plus a developer API. There's no desktop app, which is what an A needs here. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Keepa is for
- Great if you do online arbitrage and need a product's sales rank and Buy Box history
- Handy when you want to keep an eye on a rival's price and stock
- Good for shoppers waiting for an Amazon price to drop
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you want profit, inventory or ad tools, as it's data only
- Not for you if your sales are on Walmart or eBay, since it only covers Amazon

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Keepa you would be making data from Amazon's seller tools and years of sales estimates. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.8 is higher than 16 of the 16 other Amazon seller tools we grade.
What you could not
- Data from Amazon's seller tools and years of sales estimates.
- Scanning barcodes with a phone camera or a scanner.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It plugs into other products, Amazon, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox among them, and has an API.
What this rests on. Keepa’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.

Where this guide comes from
The prices, plans, platforms and features were read from Keepa’s own pages on Oct 18, 2026, and the grades were given on Oct 18, 2026. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from Keepa's own pages on 18 October 2026, and its App Store rating. keepa.com shows nothing outside its web app, so we checked its App Store listing instead, which still lists it free. Not based on using the product, and shorter than our full reviews.
Every tool we list gets five grades, A to F, each with its reason, and a GPA that averages them. How each is decided is at toolgpa.com/grades. This guide is ToolGPA’s own work; it is not made, paid for or approved by Keepa. Prices change, so check keepa.com before you buy.
