Prime Day Deal Analyzer

Amazon Prime Day shoppers struggle to identify whether deals are actually good or just marketing hype. A tool that tracks historical prices, calculates true discounts, and alerts users to genuine bargains would save customers money and time. Target: budget-conscious online shoppers during major sales events.

Amazon's price manipulation problem is well-documented — tools like CamelCamelCamel have tracked this for years, and consumers are increasingly aware that "50% off" often means off an inflated anchor price. CamelCamelCamel is the obvious incumbent here and it's free, which is the central problem: users already have a solid free alternative, making it very hard to charge for something they've used without paying for a decade. The $1k–5k/mo revenue band assumes either a subscription model or affiliate commissions on purchases, but affiliate payouts from Amazon have been gutted since the 2020 commission cuts, leaving the math thin. The biggest risk is distribution — this is a tool people want for two days a year, so CAC is brutal and retention between events is essentially zero.
