How we track

Several times a day a scheduled job asks the AliExpress affiliate API for the current price of every product we track, and appends what it sees to our record. Nothing in the record is ever edited afterwards.

What we say, and what the seller says

A price, a date and a “dropped” or “lowest we’ve tracked” line come from our own checks. We call something a real drop only when the price is at least 5% below the lowest price we saw in the previous 30 days, on two checks in a row, and the product has at least 7 days of checks. Going back to a price we already saw never counts, so raising a price and then “discounting” it can’t fool us. “Lowest we’ve tracked” appears only once we have also seen a higher price.

All prices are for delivery to the United States, in US dollars. AliExpress prices change with the delivery country, so your price may differ.

The “was” price and the percentage off are set by the seller. We show them separately, labelled “Seller says”, and point out when we have never seen the product at that “was” price.

Which products we track

Best sellers from 17 AliExpress categories, chosen from the API’s own sales ranking. A product stays out unless at least 92% of its buyer feedback is positive and it has 100+ recent sales; near-duplicate listings of the same item are dropped. Our first checks are from Oct 20, 2026; the latest is from Oct 20, 2026, across 814 products. If our tracker ever misses days, the price charts show that gap as a dashed line instead of hiding it.

How we make money

Links to AliExpress are affiliate links. If you buy, we earn a commission at no cost to you. It doesn’t change what the record says.
