Do you track price changes?

Yes. When demand spikes in a heatwave, some retailers take advantage and quietly push prices up - so every time we check stock (every 2 to 5 minutes) we also record each in-stock unit's price, and the dashboard shows exactly who moved and by how much over the last 24 hours and 7 days. A unit that jumps in price gets a clear rise badge, and meaningful price drops are posted free to our Telegram channel. We can only see prices while a retailer lists a unit, and we track products, never people.
