Know when it’s time to buy.
You tell us what you want and what you’d pay. We watch the price and email you once, when it’s actually a good time to buy.

Three steps
Set it up once. Then leave it alone.
Paste an Amazon link
Or search for the product by name and pick the right one from the results. Amazon is the retailer we watch.
Set your target price
We show you the last 90 days of price history as you type, so you can see whether the number you have in mind is realistic before you commit to it.
Get one email
We check the price for you. When it reaches a point worth acting on, you get one email that shows you the price and why we think the timing is right.
What makes an alert trustworthy
An alert is only useful if you can act on it without checking our work.
90 days of context
A price on its own tells you nothing. We compare today’s price to what the product has actually cost over the last 90 days, and we show you that range so you can judge it yourself.
We measure against real prices
A discount off a high list price isn’t the same as a low price. We measure against what the product has genuinely sold for, so a large percentage off a number nobody paid doesn’t count as a deal.
No manufactured urgency
No countdown timers, no stock counters, no pressure to decide in the next ten minutes. If the price is good, it is good whether you buy today or think about it first.
What we won’t do
- We won’t email you every day. You hear from us when there is something to say about a price you asked us to watch.
- We won’t nag you. There is no reminder sequence, no re-engagement campaign, no digest you didn’t ask for.
- We won’t tell you to buy now before it’s gone. If waiting is the better call, waiting is what we’ll say.
- We won’t sell your email address. See our privacy policy for what we collect and who we share it with.
Honest limits
Our price data refreshes on a delay, so the price we show you is the price as of the last time we read it, not a live quote. We date every price on the site for that reason. A price can move between our reading and your click.
Prices move throughout the day — confirm on Amazon before you buy.
We’d rather tell you that up front than have you find out at the checkout page. The 90-day history behind an alert doesn’t go stale in an afternoon, so the timing we’re telling you about still holds even when the exact number has shifted a little.
How we make money
WhatWeWant is a participant in the Amazon Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program. Links to Amazon on this site are affiliate links, and WhatWeWant may earn a commission if you purchase through them. Prices and availability are subject to change.
That commission is the same whether the timing was good or bad, so we gain nothing by pushing you to buy sooner. What we have to get right is the timing. An alert you act on and don’t regret is the only version of this that keeps you reading the next one.
One want, one target price, one email.
