* Works on all sites, however the process is a pain:

1. select a price

2. enter email,

3. wait and go to my email to do a price check.

Very arduous. Too tedious. May be helpfule in a researching scenario, but not for day to day shopping.

Yroo is the clear winner without a doubt :

- most accurate

Rest of the add-on felt like hacks and/or beta products. For a solid and reliable price checking experience, go with Yroo.

For Price Researching

These extensions can come in handy to analyze price over time, site (retailer) and volume.

Camelicer and
