We're still working on answering that but we want the user experience to be something that we really like using ourselves. That means that the website will remain ad-free, we won't send email marketing spam and we won't sell user data to advertisers.

Some options we're considering:

1. Offering premium plans that allow tracking more products with more frequent updates.

2. Allow users to opt-in for offers on the specific products they're already tracking.

We're still not sure if we've found product market fit with this idea so we're staying open-minded and trying to avoid getting too attached to any specific monetization tactic.

3. Affiliate programs with online retailers?

After looking at doing something similar, that was the only monetization angle I could find.

This is also worth considering, thanks. We would need to be careful to avoid overwriting any pre-existing affiliate tags set on a user provided URL like Honey was doing [0]. I’m curious why you stopped pursuing the idea if you don’t mind sharing.
