Description
Price Mantis is an automated Amazon tracking platform built to uncover fake discounts. Track full price history across direct Amazon, third-party new, and used listings. Unlike trackers that stripped out data, Price Mantis monitors sales rank (BSR) velocity and review score changes to help you spot quality drops or artificial review surges. Set instant price drop alerts, sync your Amazon wishlists, and view charts on product pages with a clean, privacy-first browser extension.

Could you build this?
Partial Displaying price charts is easy, but scraping Amazon at scale for pricing, sales ranks, and reviews requires sophisticated anti-bot evasion and proxy networks.
What it would actually take: Building a reliable Amazon tracker requires scraping large volumes of ASINs against Amazon's heavy anti-bot protections (DataDome, CAPTCHAs, IP fingerprinting). A production version needs a rotating residential proxy pool, headless browser clusters (Puppeteer-stealth/Playwright), or subscription to expensive specialized Amazon scraping APIs (Keepa, Rainforest) paired with time-series databases like TimescaleDB.
