the price-per-unit x-ray machine

Price-drop email alerts, no account required

Every price tracker wants you to sign up before it'll lift a finger. This one doesn't.

Set a price watch on PriceXray in about ten seconds: search a product, name your price, type your email. No account, no password, no app to install, no newsletter ambush. You get exactly one kind of email — "the thing you wanted is now the price you wanted."

Watches check Amazon daily (supporters can add Walmart, eBay and Google Shopping) — and compare by price per unit, so a sneaky smaller package doesn't fake a "price drop."

How it works

  1. Search the product. Type the product and pick your unit — per oz, per sheet, per count. You get live Amazon results ranked by true price per unit — tick Walmart, eBay or Google Shopping to add them to the same search.
  2. Name your price. Open the watch panel, set the per-unit price that would make you buy, and enter your email. The email is the identity — there's no password to invent, reuse, or forget.
  3. Click the confirmation email. One click proves the address is yours (and keeps pranksters from signing up your boss). Done — the watch now re-runs your search every morning and emails you only when a listing beats your target.

The parts designed for leaving

The usual dark pattern is making alerts easy to start and annoying to stop. Here it's the reverse of that, on purpose. Every alert email contains three one-click links: stop this watch, manage all watches (see and edit everything tied to your email), and pause everything — one click, total silence. None of them ask you to log in, because there's nothing to log into.

And because there's no account, there's no profile being built either. Your email is used to send you the alerts you asked for. That's the whole relationship.

Why per-unit watching matters

A package-price tracker thinks a "price drop" happened when the sticker changes. A per-unit watch catches what stickers hide: the 20-count box at the old 24-count price isn't a deal, and a bigger pack at the same sticker is one. Your target is set in price per unit, so the alert only fires on genuinely better value.

FAQ

Really no account?
Really. Email + target price + one confirmation click. The links in the emails are your "login."
How often are prices checked?
Daily, every morning. You're emailed only when your target is beaten — no digest spam.
Which retailers are watched?
Free watches check Amazon daily. Supporters (any Ko-fi tip) can point a watch at any mix of Amazon, Walmart, eBay and Google Shopping — the same four the live search covers.
How do I stop it?
One click in any alert email: stop that watch, manage all of them, or pause everything at once.

Our Amazon links are plain links — no affiliate tag, no commission.

Amazon doesn't allow affiliate sites to run price alerts, so we chose the alerts. If eBay or Walmart links ever earn us a commission, they'll be labeled (paid link) — and it never changes the price you pay. The whole thing runs on Ko-fi tips.
