XDA and Polygon both warned this week that Nvidia’s mid-range next-gen segment may not exist because of the DRAM crisis, and existing cards are already climbing back toward launch-day prices. If you are shopping a $300 to $500 GPU right now, you want an app on your phone that catches a price drop or a restock the moment it happens, not two hours later when Reddit has cleaned it out. Seven Android apps cover the ground, some general deal trackers, some GPU-specific stock alerters.
What to look for in a GPU deal app
- Push notifications. Deal apps that only email you are useless for a five-minute restock window.
- Retailer coverage. Amazon alone is not enough, some drops start at Newegg, Micro Center, or B&H.
- Regional accuracy. UK apps get slaughtered on US pricing and vice versa, match your region.
- Price history. Charts help you tell a real drop from marketing.
- Community sentiment. Slickdeals-style vote scores catch fake sales.
- Deep-link into checkout. Every second matters, an app that opens the product page beats one that opens a browser search.

The seven GPU deal apps
1. Slickdeals, best community-vetted deals
Slickdeals is a US-focused deals community with an Android app that pushes real-time alerts on new deals matching your keyword filters. Set “RTX 5070” or “Radeon RX 9060” as a keyword, get pushed the moment a member posts a live deal. Community upvotes filter fake or misleading deals before they hit your feed.
Where it falls short: US-heavy. Non-US readers get little value.
Pricing:
- Free: Full app and filters
- Paid: None
Platforms: Android, iOS
Download: Google Play · Aptoide
Slickdeals for GPU deals wins on speed and community filtering. Frontpage deals move fast, and the upvote system flags noise.
Bottom line: The default US pick. First install for any US GPU shopper.
2. Keepa, best Amazon price history
Keepa tracks Amazon prices across every marketplace and shows you a price history chart per product. Set a target, get a push when the listing hits it. Especially handy for third-party seller listings that Amazon’s own price tracker ignores.
Where it falls short: Free tier has narrower marketplace coverage. Amazon-only.
Pricing:
- Free: Basic price tracking
- Paid: Around $20 per month for Keepa Pro (extended data)
Platforms: Android, iOS
Download: Google Play
Keepa for GPU deals wins for Amazon shoppers who want a real price history, not a marketing “was” price.
Bottom line: The pick for readers who buy their GPUs on Amazon.
3. HotUKDeals, best UK community deals
HotUKDeals is the UK sibling of Slickdeals with the same push-alert-on-keyword model and a strong community that catches Amazon UK, Overclockers, Scan, and Ebuyer drops. There is a French and German sibling under the Pepper umbrella if you are on the continent.
Where it falls short: UK-focused. US and Asia coverage is thin.
Pricing:
- Free: Full app and alerts
- Paid: None
Platforms: Android, iOS
Download: Google Play
HotUKDeals for GPU deals wins for UK and EU shoppers with strong community filtering.
Bottom line: The default UK pick, and worth an install anywhere in Europe.
4. CamelCamelCamel, best Amazon-only tracker
CamelCamelCamel is the older Amazon price tracker, and the Android app wraps its watchlist and history features. Set a target, get an email or push when a listing hits it. Free to use, no premium tier.
Where it falls short: Amazon only. Slower push than Slickdeals on hot drops.
Pricing:
- Free: All features
- Paid: None
Platforms: Android, iOS
Download: Google Play
CamelCamelCamel for GPU deals wins as the free Amazon-only tracker.
Bottom line: The pick for readers who want free Amazon tracking with no upsells.
5. PCPartPicker, best retail price comparison
PCPartPicker compares GPU prices across Newegg, B&H, Micro Center, Amazon, and Best Buy in one page. The Android app mirrors the desktop site’s builder and lets you save a wishlist of parts that pushes when any retailer drops.
Where it falls short: Push alerts are less aggressive than Slickdeals, and mobile UX lags the desktop.
Pricing:
- Free: All features
- Paid: None
Platforms: Android, iOS
Download: Google Play
PCPartPicker for GPU deals wins on retailer breadth. It surfaces which store is cheapest right now, not just Amazon.
Bottom line: The pick when you want a cross-retailer view before you buy.
6. Camelizer, best barcode scan for Amazon
Camelizer is the browser and app companion to CamelCamelCamel. Scan a barcode in a store, get the Amazon price history. Handy for anyone who checks a card in Micro Center or Best Buy before pulling the trigger.
Where it falls short: No first-party push alerts, works best as a supplement to CamelCamelCamel.
Pricing:
- Free: All features
- Paid: None
Platforms: Android, iOS
Download: Google Play
Camelizer for GPU deals wins as a quick in-store price check.
Bottom line: The pick for readers who check Amazon before buying in a physical store.
7. NowInStock, best restock alerts
NowInStock watches specific SKUs across major retailers and pushes when they come back in stock. It powered a lot of the RTX 30 series restock scene in 2020 and 2021, and the same infrastructure still runs for current-gen cards. The Android experience is a wrapped web view rather than a native app.
Where it falls short: No native Android app, and paid tier for faster alerts is web only.
Pricing:
- Free: Web with delayed alerts
- Paid: Web with faster alerts, no app-level tier
Platforms: Web via mobile browser
Download: nowinstock.net
NowInStock for GPU deals wins on restock speed for specific SKUs.
Bottom line: The pick if you already know exactly which card you want and just need to catch a restock.

FAQ
What is the fastest way to catch a GPU deal?
Push notifications from a community deals app like Slickdeals or HotUKDeals beat email alerts by minutes. Enable notifications and a keyword like the specific card name.
Are these apps free?
All seven have full-featured free tiers. Keepa has an optional Pro tier for marketplace data most GPU shoppers do not need.
Do they cover Micro Center?
PCPartPicker tracks Micro Center inventory. Slickdeals posts Micro Center bundles when they hit. NowInStock covers Micro Center on specific SKUs.
Will these apps beat scalpers?
They will not out-bot dedicated resellers, but push notifications get you to checkout in under a minute, which is enough for most restocks that last five or more minutes.
Is Slickdeals better than Keepa?
Different tools. Slickdeals catches new deals across every retailer. Keepa tracks Amazon-specific price history. Most GPU shoppers install both.
