Camelcamelcamel is a website that tracks prices of products sold on Amazon. [1] [2] Founded by Daniel Green [3] [4] in 2008 and developed by Cosmic Shovel Inc. [5]
In 2015 it was voted as the most popular price tracking tool among Lifehacker readers. [6]
Due to a failure of three hard drives on the database server on January 26, 2019, the service was unavailable for several days. The service itself listed a breakdown of the costs needed to recover the service.
During the COVID-19 pandemic they agreed to Amazon's request to stop tracking prices in select regions. [7]
According to Cosmic Shovel Inc., the overall maintenance of camelcamelcamel amounts to about $11,000 per month. [8]
