Frequently asked questions

Swuupi is an automated price tracking engine. You submit the URL of a product you want to buy, and we monitor its price across online stores every single day. The moment the price drops below the product's baseline, we send you an email alert with a direct link to the cheapest available listing. No apps, no dashboards — just an email when the timing is right. See how Swuupi differs from Ønskeskyen and PriceRunner.

It finds products without a link, in two steps. First a fast sweep: you describe an item — brand, model, variant, and the most you'll pay — and it scans live stores, search results and affiliate networks in under a minute and hands back what it found. If nothing on that list is right, one press turns the same description into a background hunt that watches the market for five days, adding any confirmed match to your watchlist and emailing you when one lands. It is a Premium feature. It will never be 100% precise, and we would rather say so than pretend otherwise: it works from your words and from how each retailer happens to have named and described its own products, so a colour, a storage size, a model year or a bundled accessory can be read differently by two shops selling the same thing. That means an occasional near-miss — the right model in the wrong variant, or a matching product you would not have picked yourself. Always check the listing before you buy.

Swuupi has a free tier that lets you browse live deals and set basic price alerts. Our Premium plan unlocks unlimited tracked products, full price-history charts, faster alerts, and automatic cross-store matching. You can cancel Premium at any time — your access continues until the end of the billing period.

On the free tier, we check prices once daily (at midnight) and sends alerts that morning if a drop is detected. Premium subscribers receive alerts within minutes of our engine detecting a price change — we prioritise Premium product listings in our price-monitoring queue and run checks throughout the day. In both cases, the alert email lands in your inbox before the deal disappears.

Retailers change their prices constantly, sometimes multiple times a day. While Swuupi's engine is highly accurate, a store may raise their price or sell out of the item between the time we detect the drop and the time you click the link. Swuupi acts as an informational guide, but the final price at checkout on the retailer's website is the only one that applies.

Yes. To help keep our servers running and support the free tier, we may use affiliate links for some retailers. This means if you click a link through Swuupi and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission. This comes at absolutely zero additional cost to you, and it does not influence how our engine calculates Fair Value or Timing Scores.

Our engine is designed to be domain-agnostic, meaning you can paste a product link from almost any major e-commerce retailer. If our system cannot parse a specific website due to heavy anti-bot protections, the tracker will notify you.

Yes — absolutely. You can cancel from your Profile page at any time with a single click. There are no cancellation fees and no questions asked. When you cancel, your Premium access remains active until the end of your current billing cycle.

You have full control over your data. You can delete your account permanently from your Profile settings. This will immediately wipe your email, watchlists, and personal data from our active databases in accordance with GDPR.

A GTIN (Global Trade Item Number) is a standard number for a trade item, usually the one under the barcode. EAN-13 is the most common GTIN format in Europe, but not every GTIN is an EAN: the 12-digit UPC is a GTIN too. An MPN (Manufacturer Part Number) is the maker's code for a product or model, and how specific it is depends on the manufacturer. Some brands use a style code for a style or product family; it isn't always the same as an MPN. Our product pages show them as "GTIN/EAN" and "Part no." when available. We only rely on barcodes with a valid check digit, and the same valid barcode in the same market can tell us that two store pages sell the same product. A part number is a supporting clue, never enough on its own. Codes don't guarantee the exact same product or variant, so check the details at the store.
