Catchevo vs Keepa
Keepa is the most powerful Amazon-only price tracker on the market, with detailed charts and a 15-minute refresh on most listings. Catchevo is the opposite trade-off: less depth on Amazon history, but a real-time hunt across every other retailer that also sells the product, verified live before the result lands.
How Keepa works
Keepa is a paid Amazon price tracker with deep historical charts, sales-rank data, and frequent refreshes on most listings. It is the tool of choice for Amazon sellers, FBA arbitrage, and shoppers who want fine-grained data about a single listing.
Keepa's depth on Amazon is substantial. Charts cover years of price history, new-vs-used-vs-third-party splits, sales rank trends, and notifications can be set per-region across Amazon's storefronts. The refresh cadence on most listings is roughly every 15 minutes, which is fast for a scheduled crawler.
The constraint is that Keepa lives entirely inside the Amazon ecosystem. If the same product is cheaper at a non-Amazon retailer — a brand's own DTC site, a specialist e-tailer, a marketplace like Zalando or Vinted — Keepa does not know about it, because it does not search outside Amazon. And even within Amazon, the 15-minute refresh means an alert can fire on a price that no longer exists when you tap.
How Catchevo is different
Catchevo searches Amazon and every other retailer in the same hunt, on demand. When the catch result comes back, the price, size, and stock have been re-checked at that moment, so the result is current — not the snapshot from the last scheduled crawl.
Where Keepa is built for Amazon power users, Catchevo is built for shoppers who do not care where they end up buying. Refurbished and pre-owned alternatives are included by default. Smaller and local retailers are searched alongside Amazon and the other big marketplaces, on equal footing, because no retailer pays Catchevo.
If you live on Amazon and want long-run price history with frequent refreshes, Keepa is the tool. If you want the best price the same product is available at anywhere on the web at the moment you ask, Catchevo is the answer.

Which one should you use?
Use Keepa
When you buy a lot on Amazon and want the deepest historical pricing data and 15-minute refreshes within Amazon's catalog.
Use Catchevo

Frequently asked questions
Questions people most often ask when comparing Catchevo and Keepa.
How is Catchevo different from Keepa?
Keepa is an Amazon-only price tracker with deep historical charts and a 15-minute refresh cadence. Catchevo searches Amazon and every other relevant retailer in the same hunt, verifies the result, and runs on demand rather than on a schedule.
Does Catchevo refresh as often as Keepa?
Catchevo does not refresh on a fixed cadence — it hunts on demand when you set a catch, and re-checks the price the moment the result is sent. Most catches return within 30 minutes. Keepa refreshes most Amazon listings on a roughly 15-minute schedule whether you asked for one or not.
Should I use Keepa and Catchevo together?
They cover different questions. Keepa tells you whether today's Amazon price is a good Amazon price historically. Catchevo tells you whether there is a cheaper version of the same product somewhere else on the web right now. Many users will use both.
