This year the Amazon Prime Day sales event will happen on July 11 and 12, and if you want to make sure you'll be grabbing the best deals, you must use the Keepa extension on your browser.

Keepa is a freemium service that tracks Amazon prices. The service offers a mobile app, but the best way to use it is with the extension available for the major browsers (Microsoft Edge, Chrome, Firefox, and others), as it embeds the price history details on the product page that help you make a more informed decision.

Although you can use Keepa to track virtually any product on Amazon, you will still need an Amazon Prime subscription to grab the products at Prime Day prices. The membership costs $139 per year, but if you only plan to shop big during the sales event, you can pay for a month for $14.99. The membership will not only give you access to exclusive deals, but it also comes with various other perks, including free and faster shipping, access to Amazon Prime Video, Music and gaming stream services, and many other perks. 

If this will be your first time signing up, the company also offers a free trial that unlocks all the benefits, including access to the deals of Prime Day, and later, you can decide to continue or cancel the subscription.

This how-to guide will walk you through the steps to track Amazon prices during Prime Day 2023.

The "Price history" tab includes a graph with the price history of the product from Amazon and third-party retailers. However, on Prime Day, you only want to pay attention to the "orange" graph that provides information on the product sold and fulfilled by Amazon.

The "light purple" graph surfaces the price history of third-party seller products, and the "dark" graph shows the price for used items.

You can always toggle the views using the options on the right side to focus on the price history of a specific type of seller.

Furthermore, the extension offers other pricing data, such as from Amazon Warehouse deals, third-party sellers with fulfillment by the merchant with different conditions and more.

On the bottom-right, you'll also find the settings to change the price range, and depending on the product, you can choose the "day," "week," "three months," and the "all" option.

After reviewing the data, it'll be possible to determine whether the discount represents a deal since the previous price dropped or if Amazon is comparing the deal with the original price, which may not be a good deal if the same product had a similar price days before Prime Day.
