Distilled web monitor not checking free#
The only downside is you need to have it running in a browser (Firefox can run the checks in the background but the browser still needs to be open, Chrome seems to be happier actually opening and closing the tabs) in order to check there is a cloud monitoring service but it only checks every 6 hours for a free account which is useless when you are trying to snipe something as hot as a 3950x.

In theory it should beat sites like Nowinstock in terms of speed (like I said, as quick as every five seconds if you really want), and it should be perfectly accurate as long as you pick the right elements to monitor. You also set the refresh rate (as fast as every five seconds), and how you want to be alerted (I had it make a noise and open a tab along with an email in case I was out). You pick what elements of the page you want monitored and can set conditions ("Number has to be below X", "number has to have dropped by at least Y", etc) required to trigger an alert (I had mine set to ignore the words "third party" to avoid price gouging and "unavailable" for obvious reasons). Distill.io is a free (for the basic account, but that's all you need) browser extension that allows you to set up page specific alerts which monitor changes and can allow you to know when a product is available immediately (I had mine set to check every 30 seconds) or when a price drops.
