ShadowBid - iOS App — A simple iOS app to automate saving money on Amazon
ShadowBid is the best way to save money on Amazon! Prices change up to 80 million times every day (shocking!), and we help you take advantage of all that volatility through automated purchasing when the price drops to the level you set. Find your product, view the price history chart, and set your price. We'll take care of the rest for you!

I've been using Shadowbid for over a month on my browser, and they just released their iOS app. I pretty much just upload items in my wishlist/ saved for later, and place a bid so if the price ever drops below a certain threshold, Shadowbid automatically buys it for me.

This is awesome @goforwes :). I know you said you have plans to expand internationally, but were you ever considering doing cross market bidding to find the best price worldwide? Could be good marketing "i.e. get the best price on the planet for anything you buy. Guaranteed" and also add lots of value, if you can get by the coding challenges :)
@mikeyahdoot Thanks Mikey! Those are much grander plans for down the road, but certainly on our road map. Certainly some awesome coding challenges there! Haha.
@nassimbojji Would love to chat with you further Nassim! I'll message you on Twitter.
Pretty easy way to see if I'm and idiot or smart for buying the product at the current price! Not sure how they do it, but thank you
Love ShadowBid! I always use this for any big online purchase. Congrats on launching!
Hello Product Hunt, and thanks to @josevieitez for hunting us!
We started ShadowBid to improve online shopping and to bring new tools to the experience that will help people save time and money. There are a handful of tools out there that we love, and we have incorporated some of their features, like historical price charts. But we envisioned bringing financial trading tools to eCommerce shopping, and we couldn’t find anyone that would let people place a blind bid which would automatically purchase when the price dropped. We launched our Chrome extension late last year and are stoked to announce that the iOS app is now live!
Here are the highlights:
- Search for any product that is sold on Amazon.
- You will see the historical price chart along with a high and low price for the time period.
- When you’re ready to place a bid, just type in the amount and choose a duration.
- Bids can also be left open GTC (good-til-cancelled).
- ShadowBid will track the price on Amazon, and automatically purchase when the price drops!
We look forward to hearing what everyone thinks, and to saving you some money!
Thanks ProductHunters!
@dante_siracusa Very funny! Unfortunately Dante lost a bet and must take the SAT exam this summer.
ShadowBid is one of the few apps and extensions I consistently use. I purchase a lot on Amazon (both for myself and for business) and always check the price history as well as suggested bids. The recent ShadowBid update to show green or red depending on whether the price is lower or higher than usual is the best feature, in my opinion.
@blake_barber40 There will be an Android version soon! For now, you can use the Chrome extension and add your email to our website to stay up to date. Thanks Blake!
@scottbowler Right now it is only in the US but we have plans in the works for expanding internationally.
@goforwes Do you have a newsletter (or similar) I can sign up to so I can get notified when it's ready?
@scottbowler You can contact us on our site or just shoot an email to info@shadowbid.com and we'll keep you up to date. Thanks!
