Product changelog
Nearly three years — from the first Python script in 2023 to a SaaS price-monitoring service: ten platforms, price history, verified deals, a browser extension, REST API/Webhooks, BI exports, and team workflows.

Site redesign, deals, and teamwork

Palert in MAX, Ozon seller account and group reports
- Notifications in MAX: connect the messenger in Linked accounts with a link or QR code — MAX receives the same alerts as Telegram: price and stock, discounts matching your filters, subscription, support replies and news. Which events go to MAX is set separately
- Palert bot in MAX: send a product link — the bot replies with a price chart and a buy-now-or-wait verdict, just like the Telegram bot. Questions about the service are answered by the Palert assistant — screenshots and voice messages work too
- A Test button for Telegram and MAX in notification settings: the bot sends a test message
- Ozon seller account on Pro and above: connect your own store through the official Seller API — a read-only key is enough. Every hour Palert loads products, prices, FBO/FBS fees, price index, promotions and stock; they appear under Marketplaces → Ozon
- Your store's products go on tracking in two clicks: variants of one model and color merge into one tracker, and Palert follows the price on the Ozon storefront — the one shoppers see with the marketplace's promotions applied
- Group reports in Telegram on Pro and above: daily, weekly or monthly — what got cheaper, pricier, sold out or came back in stock. Set a change threshold and skip empty reports
- Each report has a chart of the position that changed the most (hourly in daily and weekly reports) and a Full report button with every change and a price chart for each position
- DNS, Citilink and Regard are now in the discounts feed
- "Payment not completed" notification: if you start a subscription checkout and don't pay, Palert reminds you with a payment link — at most once a week
- When upgrading to a higher plan, you see the breakdown before paying: plan price, credit for unused days and bonus balance deduction
- Tracker list: marketplace logos with the last update time, icons for enabled alerts, sorting by number of marketplaces, alerts and filters, and a No group filter
- Products that drop out of results in name or list trackers are rechecked on their own product page — stock status is more accurate
- Fixed Do not disturb for Telegram; it now also covers the Telegram group. If the bot is blocked, the channel is turned off and Palert lets you know in your other channels
Price check, Palert in Telegram, a new dashboard, and bulk actions
- New "Check" section in the web app: paste a product link or SKU — Palert shows the price history, a verdict on whether to buy now or wait, the price in your city, and the same product on other platforms. No need to add a tracking
- Palert in Telegram: a mini app in the @PalertRuBot bot — check a product by link or SKU, see your trackings and the deals feed. You can also just send a product link to the bot in chat — it replies with a price chart and a verdict
- New dashboard home page: how many trackings have reached your target price, triggered notifications by day, a feed of recent events, and the products that dropped the most this week
- Bulk actions in the trackings list: select the ones you need, or everything that matches the filter, and in one go set up notifications and filters, move them to a group, merge, archive or delete
- Bulk notifications: target price or price corridor, price drop by percent, any price change, back in stock and out of stock — for all selected trackings at once. Anything left at "Keep" stays individual for each tracking
- Bulk filters: price range, rating, original and discounted items, international items and items from other sellers, required and excluded words. Words can be added to the existing ones, removed, or replaced with a new list
- Inside a tracking you can select products in bulk too: move the selected ones to a separate tracking or delete them
- Editing a group's words now recalculates analytics for all of its trackings right away
- Added electronics online stores DNS (dns-shop.ru), Citilink (citilink.ru) and Regard (regard.ru) — products, catalog categories, brands and search; Palert now tracks prices on 10 platforms
- The Palert extension works on citilink.ru and regard.ru — the price chart right on the product page
- Set your own discount on a platform (e.g. WB Wallet) right in the extension — charts show the price with it
- New extension setting — a "Stock on chart" toggle lets you hide the stock line
- Deals feed: filter by seller rating, "Below market" and "At market" labels, and a "Dislike" button next to Like — several dislikes remove a doubtful deal. M.Video and Sima-land added to the feed
- Product analytics now shows the date the price history starts — and whether a higher plan would unlock more for this product
- A new tracking for a product Palert already knows shows its title, image and price chart right away — without waiting for the first check
- More accurate stock status: if a platform shows a price but doesn't say whether the product is in stock, Palert no longer marks it as sold out or sends a false "Out of stock" alert
- Upgrade with credit: unused days of your current plan reduce the price of the new one, and if the credit exceeds the price, it turns into extra days. The calculation is shown on the payment page before you pay
- Deals by email now arrive as a digest: one email at most every three hours instead of one per deal. Push and Telegram still arrive instantly
New platforms: Sima-land and M.Video
- Added Sima-land (sima-land.ru) — price tracking, history, deals feed; the integration was requested on the Ideas page
- For Sima-land: products, catalog categories, trademarks and search are supported — prices are tracked per item, as shown on the storefront
- The Palert extension works on sima-land.ru: price chart and stock levels on product pages, mini-charts in the catalog, search and collections
- Added M.Video (mvideo.ru) — price tracking, history, deals feed
- For M.Video: products, categories, sellers, brand pages and search are supported — including imported goods and other sellers' offers
- The Palert extension shows the price chart on mvideo.ru product pages
Customs duty, bulk adding, and interface customization
- New "Price corridor" mode: set lower and upper price bounds — get notified when the price leaves them, with the seller named; great for MSRP control. The bounds are shown on the analytics chart and as a badge on the tracking card
- Customs duty support: turn on the setting — and prices of international products include the duty across lists, charts, and notifications; such products are marked with a special icon
- New "Min 30d" and "Avg 30d" columns in tracking and product tables: the lowest and average price over the last 30 days — see at a glance how good the current price is; enable them in the table column settings
- Adding a tracking is simpler: a single "Link or SKU" field with automatic marketplace detection
- Bulk adding from a list of links or SKUs, plus CSV import with duplicate updating
- Interface builder: menu position, page width, and icon style
- Notifications for every additional city — each with its own trigger threshold
- Buttons in Telegram notifications: quick access to the product and its tracking
- Automatic tracking backups with restore
