CheapShark Alternatives for Tracking Game Prices

CheapShark is a handy PC deal finder. Here is where to go when you need more than a quick lookup.

CheapShark is a lightweight way to see PC game deals, and its free API makes it a favorite for small projects. If you want a fuller picture, such as price history, a phone app, or whether a game is already in a subscription you pay for, these are the alternatives to look at.

Full disclosure: GGz is our app, so we list it first because it's what we built. The other options are genuinely good at what they do, and the right pick depends on how you play. Coverage and features change, so check each service's own site for the latest details.

1. GGz

Best for: checking prices, subscriptions and releases from your phone

GGz is an iOS app that puts live prices from 14 stores (Steam, Epic, GOG, Microsoft, Nintendo, G2A, Eneba, Green Man Gaming, Instant Gaming, Driffle, Kinguin, Gamivo, Loaded and GamersGate) on every game's page, next to which subscriptions carry it (Game Pass, PS Plus, EA Play, Ubisoft+, Amazon Luna), its OpenCritic score, and how long it takes to beat. Bookmark a game and GGz alerts you when a price drops.

Worth knowing: iOS only for now, and it focuses on the decision around a game rather than being a deep price-history archive.

2. IsThereAnyDeal

Best for: PC players who want deep price history on a big screen

IsThereAnyDeal is a long-running web service that tracks PC game prices across many stores and is known for its price history and historical-low tracking, plus waitlists and a collection view.

Worth knowing: It is web-first and centered on PC, so subscriptions, console releases and news live elsewhere.

3. GG.deals

Best for: PC deal hunting across official stores and key shops

GG.deals is a web-based price comparison site for PC games that lists offers from both official stores and key resellers, with price history and alerts.

Worth knowing: Like most price trackers, it is built around the browser and the PC storefront ecosystem.

4. Steam wishlist notifications

Best for: staying inside one store

If you buy almost everything on Steam, its built-in wishlist and sale notifications cost nothing and need no extra app.

Worth knowing: It only knows about Steam's own price, so it cannot tell you when a key reseller or another store is cheaper.

How to choose

For deep price history on the web, try IsThereAnyDeal or GG.deals. For a phone-first app that combines 14-store prices, Game Pass and PS Plus tracking, and release dates, try GGz. For Steam-only buyers, built-in wishlist alerts are enough.

If you are a developer who needs a public API, CheapShark remains a good fit, and none of these alternatives is meant to replace that.
