Keepa Chrome Extension Download — Install Steps + Fixes

TL;DR: Installing the Keepa Chrome extension takes about 30 seconds—just visit the Chrome Web Store, click "Add to Chrome," and you're done. If it's not working, clear your cache, disable conflicting extensions, or try reinstalling. For Firefox and Edge users, Keepa is also available in their respective extension stores. But remember: Keepa only tracks prices—TaskMonkey actually gets your money back when prices drop after you buy.

What Is the Keepa Chrome Extension?

Keepa is one of the most popular Amazon price tracking tools available, with over 4 million Chrome users and a 4.7-star rating. The extension embeds price history charts directly on Amazon product pages, helping you see whether a deal is genuine or if you should wait for a better price.

Key features of the Keepa Chrome extension include:

Price history charts for every Amazon product
Price drop and availability alerts
Support for 11 Amazon marketplaces (US, UK, Germany, Japan, etc.)
Sales rank tracking (premium feature)
Data updated every 15 minutes

The extension is developed by Keepa.com, a German company that has been tracking Amazon prices since 2013. It's completely free for basic price tracking, with premium features available for $19/month.

Step 3: Confirm Installation

A popup will appear asking for permission to add the extension. Click "Add extension" to confirm.

Keepa will request the following permissions:

Read and change data on Amazon sites: This allows Keepa to display price charts on product pages
Access to keepa.com: This lets the extension fetch price history data from Keepa's servers

These permissions are standard for price tracking extensions. For more details on Keepa's privacy practices, see our guide on whether Keepa is safe.

Step 4: Verify Installation

After installation, you'll see the Keepa icon (a small price chart) in your Chrome toolbar. Visit any Amazon product page, and you should see the Keepa price history chart embedded below the product images.

First-Time Setup: Getting the Most Out of Keepa

Once installed, take a few minutes to configure Keepa for optimal use:

Create a Free Account

While you can use Keepa without an account, creating one (free) unlocks these features:

Price drop alerts via email, browser, or Telegram
Tracking lists to organize products you're watching
Sync across multiple devices

Click the Keepa icon in your toolbar, then click "Create account" to sign up with your email.

Configure Chart Settings

Click the gear icon on any Keepa chart to customize:

Time range: Choose from 1 day to "all time" history
Price types: Show Amazon price, third-party new, third-party used, etc.
Sales rank: Enable to see how well a product sells (premium feature)

For a complete guide on interpreting charts, see how to read Keepa charts.

Set Up Your First Price Alert

Visit an Amazon product page
Click the "Track product" button on the Keepa chart
Enter your target price (e.g., alert me when this drops below $50)
Choose notification method (email, browser notification, or Telegram)
Click "Start tracking"

You'll receive an alert when the price drops to or below your target.

Common Keepa Extension Problems and Fixes

Even the best extensions occasionally have issues. Here are the most common Keepa problems and how to fix them:

Troubleshooting diagram showing common Keepa extension issues and solutions

Problem: Keepa Chart Not Showing on Amazon

Possible causes and solutions:

Extension is disabled: Click the puzzle piece icon in Chrome, find Keepa, and make sure it's enabled
Conflicting extensions: Other Amazon-related extensions may interfere with Keepa. Try disabling them temporarily
Amazon layout change: Amazon sometimes updates their page layout. Keepa usually adapts within a few days
Ad blocker interference: Some ad blockers may block Keepa's scripts. Add Amazon and Keepa to your whitelist

Problem: "Failed to Load Price History"

This usually indicates a connection issue with Keepa's servers:

Check Keepa's server status: Visit keepa.com to see if the main site is working
Clear browser cache: Go to Chrome Settings > Privacy and Security > Clear browsing data
Disable VPN: Some VPNs may block Keepa's API connections
Wait and retry: Keepa servers occasionally experience high traffic during major sales events

Problem: Extension Slowing Down Browser

If Chrome feels sluggish after installing Keepa:

Update Chrome: Make sure you're running the latest version
Reduce extensions: Each extension consumes memory. Remove ones you don't use
Disable Keepa on non-Amazon sites: Click the Keepa icon > Settings > "Only run on Amazon domains"

Problem: Price Alerts Not Working

If you're not receiving price drop notifications:

Check your email spam folder: Keepa emails sometimes get filtered
Verify your account: Log into keepa.com and check that your email is confirmed
Enable browser notifications: Chrome Settings > Privacy and Security > Site Settings > Notifications > Allow for keepa.com
Check your tracking list: Make sure the product is still being tracked and hasn't expired

Nuclear Option: Complete Reinstall

If nothing else works:

Right-click the Keepa icon > Remove from Chrome
Close and reopen Chrome
Clear all browsing data (cache, cookies, etc.)
Reinstall Keepa from the Chrome Web Store
Log back into your Keepa account

Keepa for Other Browsers: Firefox, Edge, and Safari

Chrome isn't your only option. Here's how to get Keepa on other browsers:

Keepa for Firefox

Keepa offers an official Firefox add-on with the same features as the Chrome version:

Open Firefox Add-ons
Search for "Keepa" or go directly to the Keepa add-on page
Click "Add to Firefox"
Confirm the permissions

The Firefox version works identically to Chrome, with the same price charts and alert functionality.

Keepa for Microsoft Edge

Edge users have two options:

Option 1: Microsoft Edge Add-ons Store (Recommended)

Open the Edge Add-ons Store
Search for "Keepa"
Click "Get" to install

Option 2: Install from Chrome Web Store

Edge is Chromium-based, so it can run Chrome extensions:

Go to Edge Settings > Extensions
Enable "Allow extensions from other stores"
Visit the Chrome Web Store and install Keepa as normal

Keepa for Safari

Unfortunately, Keepa does not currently offer a Safari extension. Apple's stricter extension policies and Safari's smaller market share make it less attractive for developers.

Safari alternatives:

Use Keepa's website (keepa.com) to check prices manually
Install Chrome or Firefox for Amazon shopping
Use the Keepa mobile app (available for iOS)

Keepa Tracks Prices—But What About Getting Money Back?

Here's something most Keepa users don't realize: price tracking is only half the battle.

Keepa is excellent at showing you price history and alerting you to drops before you buy. But what about products you've already purchased? If you bought a TV last week and it dropped $80 today, Keepa will happily show you that price drop—but it won't help you get that $80 back.

That's where TaskMonkey comes in.

The TaskMonkey Difference

Feature	Keepa	TaskMonkey
Price history charts	Yes	Yes
Price drop alerts (before purchase)	Yes	Yes
Scans your past Amazon orders	No	Yes
Finds price drops on things you already bought	No	Yes
Automatically requests refunds	No	Yes (AI-powered)
Gets money back to your Amazon account	No	Yes

TaskMonkey works differently: it scans your last 3 months of Amazon orders, compares what you paid to current prices, and when it finds a drop, uses AI to automatically chat with Amazon customer service to request a courtesy credit.

Amazon doesn't advertise this, but they often issue credits when you politely ask about a post-purchase price drop. We've helped users recover thousands of dollars this way.

The best approach? Use Keepa for pre-purchase research and TaskMonkey for post-purchase recovery. They complement each other perfectly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Keepa Chrome extension free?

Yes, Keepa's core features (price history charts, basic alerts) are completely free. Advanced features like sales rank data, detailed export options, and API access require a premium subscription at $19/month.

Does Keepa work on Amazon international sites?

Yes! Keepa supports 11 Amazon marketplaces: USA, UK, Germany, France, Japan, Canada, Italy, Spain, India, Mexico, and Australia. The extension automatically detects which Amazon site you're on.

Can I use Keepa on mobile?

Keepa offers mobile apps for both iOS and Android. The apps let you track products and receive alerts, though you can't see embedded charts on the Amazon app. See our Keepa app review for details.

Why is Keepa showing "no price data"?

This happens when Keepa doesn't have historical data for a product. Common reasons include: new products with limited history, private label items with low sales volume, or products that were recently delisted and relisted. Give it a few weeks to accumulate data.

Is Keepa better than CamelCamelCamel?

Both are excellent tools with different strengths. Keepa has more detailed charts and data, while CamelCamelCamel is simpler and 100% free. For a detailed comparison, see our Keepa vs CamelCamelCamel vs Honey guide.

Bottom Line: Get Keepa, But Don't Stop There

The Keepa Chrome extension is an essential tool for Amazon shoppers. It takes 30 seconds to install, it's free for basic use, and it can save you from overpaying or falling for "fake" discounts.

But remember: Keepa helps you before you buy. For the purchases you've already made, you need a different solution.

Install TaskMonkey alongside Keepa. Let Keepa show you price history before you buy, and let TaskMonkey automatically recover money when prices drop after you buy. Together, they make sure you never leave money on the table.
