Dealophant vs PriceCrow
PriceCrow and Dealophant do the same core job: search Amazon and sort the results by price per unit, so a big pack and a small pack can be compared fairly. Both are free and need no account. The difference is what happens after the ranking. Dealophant also records each product's price over time, so it can tell you whether today's price is a real 90-day low or just its usual price.
Quick verdict
If all you need is a quick price-per-unit sort with a choice of unit, PriceCrow does that well, and its browser extension sends an Amazon product straight to a PriceCrow search. If you also want to know whether now is a good time to buy, Dealophant adds 90-day price history, category pages with the current cheapest picks, and a page of products at their 90-day low.
When Dealophant is the better fit
- You want to know whether today's price is a 90-day low, not just the cheapest per unit right now.
- You want a 90-day price history page for a product you are watching.
- You want ready-made category pages (toilet paper, dish soap, batteries and more) with the cheapest picks already ranked.
- You want to paste one Amazon link and get a verdict on that deal, at dealophant.com/check.
When PriceCrow is the better fit
- You want to choose the unit yourself (count, weight or volume) for a search.
- You want a browser extension that opens a unit-price search from the Amazon page you are on.
- You only need a one-off price-per-unit sort and do not care about price history.
