Our statistics reveal which products are the most frequently price-monitored. Can you guess which ones are the most popular?

At PriceSpy we work towards making online shopping easier. Our goal isn’t just to find the lowest price for that gadget you want to buy, but to also make it easier to plan future purchases when the prices are right for you.

One way of planning your purchases is to use the price alert function. You choose a product, set a price alert and you’ll receive a notification when the price drops. It’s easy, convenient and thousands of price alerts are created each day.

As we find it exciting to see what’s most popular to set alerts on, we have dug out some statistics from the first quarter of the year. Below you’ll find our top 10 list of most popular products to set price alerts on, on PriceSpy.
