AliTools Alternatives for AliExpress Price History and Cashback

AliTools is a free browser extension for AliExpress shoppers, made by BDT GROUP Sp. z o.o. in Warsaw. It shows a product's price history, rates sellers, finds similar items and tracks parcels, and it runs on Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Opera and Yandex Browser, with an Android app and a Telegram bot. It still works and is still updated, with AliTools for Chrome at version 26.10.2 from October 20, 2026.

The trade-off is access. AliTools declares that it collects location, web history, user activity and website content, and that installing it means accepting redirects through AliExpress affiliate links. ExtScope rates its permissions as high risk because it asks for cookies, scripting and webRequest on all sites. The six picks below include a lighter price-history tool, two cashback sites that pay you the affiliate commission, and two Amazon trackers for when you shop there instead.

Prices below are as of November 8, 2026. Our method is on How we review tools.

Quick comparison

Pricearchive

Pricearchive does the one AliTools job most people install it for, the price chart, and little else. Open the popup on a product page and it plots recorded prices from one month back to all available records, in any of 56 currencies. A "Find other sellers" button runs an image search on pricearchive.org.

Its privacy footprint is small. The extension has no content script or background worker, reads the tab URL only when you open the popup, and sends just a numeric product ID, a store ID and your currency. It works on aliexpress.com, aliexpress.ru and aliexpress.us.

Best for: Shoppers who want price history without giving an extension broad access.

Pricing:

• Free to install

Watch out for:

• It is small, with 5,000 users and 41 ratings on the Chrome Web Store, and the developer has not identified itself as a trader.
• No seller rating, coupons or price-drop alerts.

Official site: Pricearchive.

AliHelper

Closest in features to AliTools is AliHelper. It adds coupon codes, price history, seller ratings, photo reviews, similar-product search and package tracking to AliExpress pages, and version 3.2.1 came out on November 2, 2026.

Its twist is DOGI coins, earned when you click affiliate links marked with a coin icon. AliHelper says this does not change the product price and does not interfere with cashback from services such as Letyshops or ePN.

Best for: Shoppers who want the full AliTools feature set plus coupon codes.

Pricing:

• Free; DOGI coin rewards from affiliate clicks

Watch out for:

• AliHelper declares that it collects personally identifiable information, authentication information, location and activity data, and installing it means consenting to affiliate redirects.
• The developer is an individual with an address in Bali who has not identified as a trader.

Official site: AliHelper.

TopCashback

AliTools earns an affiliate commission when you buy. TopCashback pays the affiliate commission back to you as cash. It pays 5% on AliExpress for US shoppers and 2% outside the US, on item prices only.

Cash back usually shows in your account within 7 days, but becomes withdrawable only after the return period ends and AliExpress confirms the order. If a purchase does not track, you have 100 days to file a claim.

Best for: Regular AliExpress buyers who want money back rather than coupons.

Pricing:

• Free to join
• AliExpress: 5% cash back in the US, 2% elsewhere, on item price only

Watch out for:

• Orders judged to be for resale do not qualify, and using a coupon code not shown on TopCashback voids the cash back, per the TopCashback AliExpress page.
• Taxes, shipping and fees earn nothing.

Official site: TopCashback.

Rakuten

Rakuten is the large US cashback site. Its AliExpress rate swings: it has been boosted to 30% from a base of 2%, so confirm the rate before you buy.

Cash back is added once the order is confirmed and out of pending status.

Best for: US shoppers who want to catch a boosted AliExpress rate.

Pricing:

• Free to join
• AliExpress rate: changes over time, from a 2% base up to boosts such as 30%

Watch out for:

• Bulk, wholesale and reseller orders, gift cards and orders paid with gift cards earn nothing, per the Rakuten AliExpress page.
• Only coupon codes listed on Rakuten are allowed; outside codes can void the cash back.

Official site: Rakuten.

Keepa

If you compare AliExpress prices with Amazon before buying, Keepa is the price tracker for the Amazon side. It tracks more than 7 billion Amazon products with price history charts, price-drop alerts, watch lists and daily deals.

The browser extension and mobile app are free. The paid plan adds the data toolset that Amazon sellers use for research.

Best for: Shoppers who check Amazon prices and want alerts when they fall.

Pricing:

• Free: deals, tracking, wish list, extension and app
• Paid: €29 a month or €290 a year, billed in euros

Watch out for:

• It does nothing on AliExpress. The paid tier is priced for sellers, per a RevenueGeeks breakdown from August 2026, not casual shoppers.

Official site: Keepa.

camelcamelcamel (The Camelizer)

For a free Amazon price chart with no paid tier, camelcamelcamel and its add-on, The Camelizer, are the simple option. The add-on shows price history while you browse Amazon in the US, Canada, most of Europe and Australia.

Its permissions are narrow: browser tabs plus Amazon and camelcamelcamel domains only, a contrast with AliTools' access to every site. The developer, Cosmic Shovel, asks for optional donations.

Best for: Amazon shoppers who want price charts without signing up for anything.

Pricing:

• Free; optional donation

Watch out for:

• The Chrome build has about 800,000 users and is at version 3.0.16, but the Camelizer Firefox add-on has had no update since February 2023.
• Amazon only; it has no AliExpress support.

How to choose

When to stay with AliTools

Stay with AliTools if you buy on AliExpress every week and use its seller ratings, parcel tracking and Android app together, since no single alternative here covers all three. It is actively maintained, and AliTools declares that it does not sell data outside approved uses. Read a cashback site's terms before using it alongside AliTools, since both depend on affiliate tracking.
