Walmart Price Tracker: How to Check Prices & Get Drop Alerts

Does Walmart Have a Price Tracker?

No. Walmart does not offer a built-in price tracker or price history tool. There is no way to see what a product cost last week, last month, or last year on Walmart.com. I have looked everywhere in the app and website — the feature simply does not exist.

Compare this to Amazon, where tools like CamelCamelCamel and Keepa give you full price history charts going back years. Walmart has nothing equivalent. Not even close.

You will occasionally see a "Was $XX" strikethrough price on Walmart product pages. That is a markdown indicator, not a history. It tells you the previous listed price but nothing about long-term trends. You cannot set alerts from it. You cannot see a chart. You have no idea if that "Was" price was the actual price for six months or six hours.

The Walmart app shows current prices and lets you scan barcodes in-store, which is useful for a quick Walmart price check on the spot. But again — no history, no alerts, no tracking over time. If you want to know whether a price is actually a good deal or just a fake markdown, you need a third-party tool.

How to Check Walmart Prices

There are a few ways to do a Walmart price check right now, but they all share the same limitation: they only show you the current price at a single point in time.

Walmart.com

Search for any product and see the current price. Logged-in Walmart+ members see the same prices as everyone else — Walmart+ benefits are free shipping and fuel discounts, not lower product prices.

Walmart App Barcode Scanner

Open the Walmart app and scan any item in-store to see the online price. I have caught shelf price errors this way — the tag says $24.99 but the scanner shows $18.00. Walmart honors the lower price at checkout.

Google Shopping

Search "walmart [product name]" and Google shows the price in the Shopping tab. Handy for quick comparisons across retailers without opening multiple tabs.

In-Store Price Check Kiosks

Some Walmart stores still have price check scanners in the aisles. They show the current register price, which occasionally differs from the shelf tag. Worth a scan if you are in the store and the price seems off.

None of these options let you track Walmart prices over time. They are all point-in-time checks. For actual tracking, you need something else entirely.

Third-Party Walmart Price Trackers

I have tested every major Walmart price tracker option out there. Here is what actually works and what does not.

CamelCamelCamel

Amazon only. Does not work for Walmart. Period. If you see someone recommending it for Walmart, they are wrong. We covered alternatives in our CamelCamelCamel alternatives guide.

Keepa

Also Amazon only. Great tool, wrong retailer. It has no Walmart data whatsoever.

Honey (PayPal)

Shows limited price history on Walmart product pages if you have the extension installed. The data only goes back a few months and the granularity is rough — you might see weekly snapshots, not daily. Honey's real value is coupon codes at checkout, not price tracking.

Slickdeals

Not a tracker. It is a deal-sharing community where users post Walmart deals manually. You can set keyword alerts for specific products. The catch: it only covers deals that someone bothers to submit. No automated coverage, no guarantee your product gets posted.

Price.com / Pricespy

Aggregate price comparison sites that show Walmart prices alongside other retailers. Some historical data exists but it is limited and often days behind. Not real-time.

Google Alerts

You can set up a Google Alert for "[product name] walmart price drop" but the results are unreliable. You will get blog spam and affiliate content, not actual price notifications.

Bottom line: there is no free tool that reliably tracks Walmart price history the way CamelCamelCamel does for Amazon. This is a real gap, and it is exactly why I built the Walmart tracking workflow in BotBro.

Walmart's Price Match Policy

As of 2026, Walmart does not price match competitors. Not Amazon, not Target, not Best Buy. They stopped price matching external retailers in 2020 and have not brought it back.

Walmart will honor their own online price if it is lower than the in-store price. Show the Walmart app at checkout and they will adjust. I have done this a handful of times — the cashier scans the barcode, sees the lower online price, and matches it without pushback.

Walmart also has a "Price Adjustment" policy: if an item you purchased drops in price within 7 days, you can request a refund of the difference. But you have to catch the price drop yourself. Walmart does not notify you. Nobody notifies you.

This is exactly why a Walmart price tracker matters. If you bought a TV from Walmart and the price drops $50 three days later, you are entitled to that money back. But only if you know the price dropped. Miss the 7-day window and the money is gone.

See also: Best Buy's 15-day price match policy, which is significantly more generous and covers competitor pricing too.

Track Walmart Prices with BotBro

BotBro fills the gap. Give it any Walmart product URL and tell it to check the price on a schedule. When it drops below your threshold, it texts you. No browser extensions, no unreliable third-party databases — just a real browser hitting the actual product page.

It works by opening a real browser, navigating to the Walmart product page, reading the current price, and comparing it to your target. No API dependency, no catalog limitations. If a product exists on Walmart.com, BotBro can track it.

I set up a BotBro task to track a KitchenAid mixer I wanted. Checked every 4 hours. Three days later it dropped from $279 to $199 for a flash sale that lasted about 12 hours. I got the text, bought it, and the price went back up the next morning. Without the alert I would have missed it completely.

What You Can Track

Simple price drops are just the start. Here are the setups I actually use:

• Walmart vs Amazon comparison — track the same product on both sites and get alerted when Walmart is cheaper
• Clearance markdowns — monitor items hitting clearance (see our Walmart clearance guide)
• Auto checkout — combine price tracking with auto checkout so BotBro automatically buys when the price hits your target
• Seasonal lows — track items over weeks or months and buy at the annual low point

BotBro also handles restock alerts — monitor out-of-stock Walmart items and get notified the moment they are available again.

Example Task

BotBro understands the conditional logic. It navigates, reads the price, evaluates, and only sends the SMS if your threshold is met. Set it on a 4-hour interval and walk away.

Pricing: $25/month, $150/year, or $250 lifetime.

Getting Started

For casual price watching, install Honey's browser extension. It gives you basic Walmart price history on product pages and costs nothing. The data is limited but it is better than nothing.

For serious tracking with real-time SMS alerts and custom thresholds, download BotBro. The setup takes about two minutes: download, sign in, paste your Walmart product URL, describe your price threshold in plain English, and hit start. BotBro does the rest.
