Amazon is rolling out a new feature that allows customers to view product price histories directly on product pages. This functionality is powered by Amazon’s AI assistant, Rufus, and aims to provide greater transparency regarding whether current discounts are genuine or if prices have fluctuated significantly over time. Users can request to see price trends over specific intervals: 30 days, 3 months, or 12 months. For the 30-day window, Amazon also explicitly lists the highest and lowest prices recorded. On desktop browsers, a “Price History” button appears near the manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP), while mobile app users may need to interact with the Rufus chat interface to access this data. The data provided is specific to Amazon’s own pricing history rather than aggregated market prices from other retailers. This integration is intended to reduce the need for third-party price-tracking tools by offering built-in insights directly within the shopping experience. Following its availability in the United States, United Kingdom, and India, the tool has expanded to Germany. In the German market, the feature is currently limited to the desktop version of the website and is not yet available on mobile devices. The tool is intended to combat misleading pricing where sellers might use outdated MSRPs to exaggerate the scale of discounts.
