— how it works —
Help Center
Everything you need to understand Pricemist — search or save products, track prices, get alerts, and buy at the right time.
Free forever · No credit card required
the big idea
Save. Track. Buy when it drops.
You pick the product. We watch the price on what you saved — not a hunt for who's cheapest today.
Save
Search for what you want in the app and tap Track, paste a product link, or use the Chrome extension while you shop. Works with any online store.
Track
Pricemist monitors those specific links over time. We track price history on the items you watch — not a comparison engine across retailers.
Buy when it drops
Get in-app notifications and email alerts when the price moves. Slow-shopping, done right — one notification at the right time.

save products
How to save your first product.
Pricemist is your shopping workspace — start with what you want to buy, not with a technical step. Open Add in the app to search or paste a link in one place. We add it to your library and watch the price over time.
- Search in the app — Type what you're thinking about buying, pick a result, and tap Track. No link required to get started. You can track several items while the dialog stays open.
- Paste a link — Already on the product page elsewhere? Paste the URL in the same Add field at app.pricemist.com.
- Chrome extension — Install from the Chrome Web Store for one-click save on any product page.
- Any store — Amazon, Apple, Nike, IKEA, Sephora, Best Buy, Farfetch, and thousands more.
- Mobile share — The iPhone app is in release preparation and supports Share-to-Pricemist intake in the candidate. Android is planned later.
Not a comparison engine. Search helps you save something you've decided on — we monitor those prices over time; we don't hunt for who's cheapest today. If we can't match a listing automatically, paste the store link you prefer and we'll watch that exact price.
Set your country in Profile settings inside the app — shopping search works better when we know your region.
collections
Organize with collections.
Your dashboard is your library — every item you've saved lives there. Group products into collections or wishlists however you like: gift ideas, wardrobe plans, home projects, or a single "maybe later" list.
- Drag-and-drop — Reorder items, move them between collections, or leave them unassigned.
- Multiple layouts — Switch between compact, comfortable, detailed, list, and masonry views.
- Sections (Plus) — Split a collection into named sections. Free users can see sections but get an upgrade prompt when creating or editing them; your section data is preserved if you downgrade.
- Save unlimited, watch up to 5 — On the free Collector plan you can save as many items as you want, but automatic price checks apply to up to 5 watched items at a time.
price alerts
How alerts work.
Only watched items get automatic background price monitoring. Save-only items stay in your library but don't receive cyclical checks or alerts — turn on Watch when you're ready to track a price.
- In-app bell — Price-drop notifications appear in your Pricemist dashboard.
- Instant email — Get an email as soon as a watched item's price moves.
- Daily digest — One email at 08:00 your local time summarizing recent drops.
- Weekly digest — A roundup every Saturday at 08:00 local. You can enable multiple channels at once.
- Email feedback — Price-drop emails include thumbs-up and thumbs-down links so you can tell us if an alert was helpful.
Configure alert preferences in Settings inside the app. Choose what fits your shopping rhythm — instant pings, a daily summary, or a weekly catch-up.
sharing
Public profiles & shareable links.
Sharing is entirely optional. By default your saves are private — you choose what to share and with whom.
- Public profile — At
pricemist.com/u/<username>/, showcase your collections like a shoppable storefront. - Shareable collection links — Each collection can have its own link — keep it private or send it to friends and family.
- Hearts — Visitors can heart items on public pages (anonymous, no account required).
- Your choice — Make your profile public, share individual collections, or keep everything to yourself.
extension
Browser extension one-click save.
The Pricemist Chrome extension adds a save button to any product page you're browsing. One click sends the item to your dashboard — no copy-pasting URLs.
- Install — Get it from the Chrome Web Store (works in Chrome and Edge).
- While you shop — Open any product page, click the Pricemist icon, and it's saved.
- Sign in first — If you're not logged in, the extension will prompt you to log in or create a free account.
coins & boosts
Coins, instant checks, & Boost monitoring.
In the app you'll see coins — that's the user-facing name for on-demand price checks. (Our internal code still says "credits," but everywhere you look in the product, it's coins.)
- Check Now — Run an instant price check on any item for 1 coin.
- Boost 24h — Active priority monitoring for 24 hours for 3 coins.
- Boost 7 days — Active priority monitoring for a full week for 10 coins.
- Coin grants — New accounts receive 20 promotional coins. Eligible Collector accounts can top up by as many as 5 promotional coins monthly, capped at 20. Paid Plus grants 50 coins per successfully paid month.
Boost is for when you need closer attention—not for everyday watching, which is included on watched items. Coin packs are available without a subscription.
plans
Free vs Plus.
Same app, same saves — Plus unlocks unlimited watches and a few extras.
Collector — $0/month
Save unlimited items from any store. Watch up to 5 for automatic price checks. Share collections. Eligible monthly promotional top-up of up to 5 coins, capped at 20. Free forever, no card required.
Plus — $9/month
Everything in Collector, plus unlimited watches, collection sections, return reminders, and 50 coins per successfully paid month. An optional one-time 7-day Plus Preview needs no card; buying Plus starts billing immediately.
