How does Keepa work?
Keepa works by gathering data from Amazon and presenting it to you in a graphical format, the famous “Keepa graph” that is integrated in most of the major product research tools for Amazon such as Helium 10, DS Amazon Quick View, AMZScout, all the major online arbitrage apps and more.
The data is updated every 15 minutes (because, as you may know, Amazon pricings / repricings change every 15 minutes) and covers a range of products from books, electronics, toys, and more. You can easily see the price changes of a product over time and even set alerts for when the price drops to a certain level. This way, you will never miss a great deal again.
How does Keepa chrome extension work?
Keepa comes with a Chrome Extension you can download for free in the following link
1. Install the extension
First, you'll need to install the extension from the Chrome Web Store. Once installed, you'll be able to access the Keepa dashboard from the browser toolbar. From here, you can view product data such as price, category, rank, and rating. You can also view a product's price history over time.
2. Copy paste the product
To track a product's price, simply copy and paste the product's URL into the Keepa dashboard. You'll then be able to view a graph of the price over weeks, months, and years. You can also set alerts for price drops. That's it!

Keepa review
Wether you are a buyer searching for the best deals on products or an agency which wants to retrieve it's client or competition product information, Keepa has a solution for you.
Let's focus on the agency/consultant solutions. Keepa's API will allow you to download lots of product information using Keepa's 500 million product database such as:
- price history data
- New and Used
- Warehouse Deals, FBA, FBM, Collectibles and Refurbished
- Sales Rank, Offers count, Rating and Review count history.
- Category details, searches and browsing
- Best seller lists up to 500k ASINs
- Etc
As you can see, Keepa is your perfect ally when scouting new markets for you clients and finding new business opportunities.
But it'll take some time, as there are loads of data options available and it will take some time to play along with them all and sort them into your business plans.
Pros
- Money saver: Keepa helps you to save money by allowing you to track the prices of the products you are interested in. By knowing when the price is likely to drop, you can make an informed decision on when to buy the product.
- A must for online arbitrage: considering it's monthly cost and what you get, man, get your hands on this tool if you're into online arbitrage. Learn how to read the graphics and you won't find any slow-sales products, that's for sure
- Time saver: Keepa saves you time by automatically tracking the prices of the products you are interested in. You no longer have to manually check the prices of the products every day, as Keepa will do it for you, plus, you can set up alerts, so it's absolutelly passive, you'll get the alert on your email, such as CamelCamelCamel does.
- Convenience: it is available as a browser extension (and free) or webapp (free as well), you can monitor the prices of your favorite products from anywhere, at any time.
- Data accuracy: as discussed, most of the online arbitrage apps or major tools such as Helium 10 rely on Keepa's data. Why? It's accurate and it has been gathering data since forever. Keepa not just provides accurate price information, it also updates it every 15 minutes, as the pricings on Amazon do. This way, you'll find fresh info and the last prices and Buy Box movements
Cons
- It takes time: Learning how to read the graphs will take time but, as learning Chinese (time and mind consuming) it's totally worth it. Let's say you'll feel like you had super powers to read how an Amazon product behaves.
- Works just for Amazon: well, I'm an Amazon reseller, so I don't really fell is as a con but, on the other hand, CamelCamelCamel works for New Egg and other marketplaces so let's just say, Keepa is Amazon limited
