Disclosure: PricePing makes this page, and PricePing is one of the trackers in it. PricePing is operated by Hani Al Anani, an individual based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. DeserTracker is free and a good choice on a computer, and we say where. Facts about other tools come from their own websites and App Store listings (see Sources).
The short answer
The big global trackers mostly don’t cover the UAE: Keepa and camelcamelcamel don’t include Amazon.ae, and Google’s Track price isn’t offered here. Use a tracker built for UAE stores. On a computer, DeserTracker is free and covers Amazon.ae, Noon and other UAE shops. On iPhone, PricePing, the iPhone price tracker app, tracks Amazon.ae, Noon, Namshi and almost any other online store in one list, in AED, and pings you when a price drops.

Free options for UAE stores
DeserTracker
A free UAE price tracker with a website and a browser extension for Chrome, Edge, Brave and Firefox on a computer. On supported stores the extension shows the lowest and highest price it has recorded, and one click tracks the product. It lists Amazon.ae, Noon, Virgin Megastore, IKEA, Emax, Mumzworld, Lulu Hypermarket and Homes R Us among its stores, checks prices several times a day, and alerts you when a product drops by at least 1 AED and 1%. Its extension does not work on phones. It is funded by affiliate commissions.
Kanbkam
A website for Amazon.ae and noon.com with price history, lists of recent price drops and deals, and price alerts. It is useful for checking whether a Noon or Amazon.ae price is genuinely low.
Tracking UAE prices on iPhone with PricePing
- Open the product in the Amazon, Noon or Namshi app, or in Safari.
- Tap Share and choose PricePing, or paste the link in the app.
- Choose an alert: Any drop, Below a price (for example under AED 300), or a % drop.
- PricePing checks the price at least once a day, and sends a push notification when a check finds a drop that matches. The price history builds from the day you add it.
It is not limited to UAE shops. PricePing has also read prices from Nike, Zara, Uniqlo, Lululemon, Allbirds, Gymshark, Gorman and many other stores, each in its own currency, so a pair of trainers from Nike and a phone from Amazon.ae can sit in the same list. If the same product is sold at more than one store, add each store’s link to it (up to five stores per product) and PricePing marks the one with the best price.
Price: PricePing is a subscription. The App Store shows the price in your currency; for reference, the US prices are: Personal (20 products) $4.99/month or $39.99/year; Power (50) $7.99/month or $59.99/year. 7-day free trial on monthly plans. US prices.
Tips for UAE shoppers
- Track before the big sales. The UAE has several sale seasons a year, including the November sales. A few weeks of price history tells you whether a sale price is really lower. See the Black Friday price tracking guide.
- Compare the same item across stores. The same product is often listed on Amazon.ae and Noon at different prices.
- Watch the seller, not just the listing. On marketplaces, the price on a listing can change when a different seller takes over the offer. A tracker records the price shown, so check the seller before you buy.
PricePing’s limits, honestly
- It is a subscription with no free tier. Monthly plans start with a 7-day free trial; yearly plans don’t have one.
- It is iPhone only for now. Android is in testing.
- Price history starts when you add a product. It can’t show what the price was last year.
- Prices are checked at least once a day, not every second, so alerts are not instant.
Questions
What is the best price tracker in the UAE?
It depends on how you shop. On a computer, DeserTracker is free and covers Amazon.ae, Noon and other UAE stores through its browser extension. On iPhone, PricePing, the iPhone price tracker app, tracks Amazon.ae, Noon, Namshi and almost any other online store in one list and sends a push notification when a price drops.
Does Keepa or camelcamelcamel work with Amazon.ae?
No. Keepa's App Store listing names 11 Amazon marketplaces (the US, Germany, the UK, France, Italy, Spain, Canada, Japan, India, Mexico and Brazil) and camelcamelcamel lists 8; Amazon.ae is not among them.
Can I see Noon price history?
Yes, from a tracker. DeserTracker and Kanbkam show recorded prices for Noon products. PricePing builds a price history for each Noon product from the day you add it.
Does PricePing show prices in AED?
Yes. PricePing shows each product in the store's own currency, so Amazon.ae, Noon and Namshi prices appear in AED, and a product from a store abroad appears in that store's currency.
Does Google's Track price work in the UAE?
Google's help page lists price tracking in the United States, Canada, Australia, Japan and India. The UAE is not on that list.
