PlatPrices

Overview

PlatPrices is a price and trophy tracker for PS4 and PS5 games, with coverage spanning 47 PlayStation Network regions. It suits players who compare regional deals or weigh trophy commitments before buying; its strongest case is the combination of price history, targeted alerts and trophy detail, though listed prices need checking in the PlayStation Store.

Storefronts are checked several times a day, but prices are gathered automatically and may be out of date. PlatPrices says it is independent of Sony and PlayStation; purchases are handled by the PlayStation Store or Amazon.

Key features

Price history and regional deals

Price histories and all-time lows help distinguish a genuine bargain from a routine discount. Live deals are ranked by discount size and wishlist popularity, while regional comparisons convert prices into the user's currency. This is useful to shoppers comparing regions, but currency conversion does not remove the need to confirm the checkout price in the store.

Wishlists, alerts and trophies

A free account can save games to a wishlist and receive email alerts when a game drops below a chosen target price in the user's regions. PRO membership adds earlier price-drop alerts, a practical upgrade for shoppers who want to act quickly on a sale.

Game pages include full trophy lists and guides, plus a 1–10 difficulty rating and estimated time to platinum. That makes PlatPrices useful not only for deciding when to buy, but also for judging the effort a completion run may require.

PSN, extension and mobile

Linking a PSN account brings owned games, playtime and trophy progress into view. PlatPrices says it reads only a public PSN profile, a useful boundary for players who want progress context without exposing private account data.

The Chrome and Chromium extension, including support for Edge, Brave and Opera, can optionally connect to an account for wishlist tracking. It says it reads only the game open in the PlayStation Store, not other tabs, browsing history, account settings or payment details. The free iPhone and Android app supports deal browsing, price history and trophies without an account and has no in-app purchases.

API and privacy

The API returns prices, sales, trophy data and metadata as JSON. Its free tier is non-commercial, so businesses or commercial projects need a paid tier. The website uses necessary cookies for sign-in and security; analytics and advertising cookies are optional. Support tickets do not require login, receive a reference number and are usually answered within a day or two.

Pricing

The Free plan costs $0 forever and includes 1,000 API requests per month, 2 regions and up to 25 games per list request for non-commercial use. It is a reasonable starting point for personal API use, but the low request and region caps limit broader coverage or heavier integration.

PlatPrices PRO membership costs $3 per month, billed at $3/month or $24/year. It removes ads, provides earlier price-drop alerts and prioritizes bug reports and fixes. This is aimed at regular shoppers rather than API users: the membership benefits do not include expanded API quotas.

Indie costs $19 per month, billed $19/mo, and raises the API allowance to 20,000 requests per month, 5 regions and 50 games per list request, with commercial use and 3-month price history. Pro costs $49 per month, billed $49/mo, for 100,000 requests, 20 regions, 100 games per list request and priority email support. Business costs $149 per month, billed $149/mo, for 500,000 requests, all 47 regions, 200 games per list request, 12-month price history and priority support. These tiers fit progressively higher-volume commercial needs; the caps on requests, regions and list size remain material when choosing between them.

Pricing also notes a 7-day trial. The published plan terms do not state renewal conditions or trial eligibility.

Platforms

PlatPrices spans web, iOS and Android, a browser extension, and an API. Its tracked coverage is PS4 and PS5 PlayStation Store games; physical-store tracking is also indicated, but no further scope is given for it.

Who it's for

PlatPrices is a strong fit for PlayStation players who want regional price comparisons, sale alerts and trophy planning in one service. It also suits developers needing PlayStation price and trophy data, provided the selected API tier's commercial terms and usage caps fit the project. It is less suitable for buyers who need guaranteed real-time prices, or for commercial API use on the free tier.

Pros and cons

• Pros: 47-region comparisons, currency conversion and histories checked several times daily give deal hunters useful context beyond a single current price.
• Pros: Target-price email alerts are free, while trophy guides and completion estimates add buying context for completion-focused players.
• Pros: The free mobile app works without an account and has no in-app purchases; extension permissions are described narrowly.
• Cons: Automatically gathered prices may be stale, so buyers must verify in the PlayStation Store.
• Cons: Free API access is non-commercial and limited to 1,000 monthly requests and 2 regions, making it unsuitable for commercial or broad-scale use.

Verdict

Look elsewhere if you need dependable live checkout prices or commercial API access without paying for a higher tier.
