AI Gadget Price Index: Maker Store Prices, Checked Daily

AI Life / Data

Short answer: on November 14, 2026, 37 tracked AI gadgets had a median price of $259.99 at the maker’s own store, and 0 had changed price since the baseline. These are maker store prices only, never Amazon.

Last updated November 14, 2026 (Pacific time). First snapshot: November 14, 2026. Next update: the daily snapshot, about 9:15 AM Pacific. Maker store prices on this page are dated observations. The rest of AI Life does not list prices; see how I evaluate products.

What does an AI gadget cost right now?

Each row is a device that AI Life already reviews, read from the maker’s own store. The group medians show only when a group has at least 5 devices, because a median of three products says very little.

Every device, with the date its price was checked:

Which AI gadgets changed price this month?

A change shows here when two daily snapshots of the same device disagree. The baseline is still forming: it is the median of each device’s first three snapshots, so changes measured against it start to appear after the third day of data. Today 0 devices are below their baseline and 0 are above it.

No price change has been recorded yet. The first snapshot was on November 14, 2026, and a change only shows once two snapshots disagree. This table fills in automatically.

Which AI gadgets does the store itself mark as on sale?

Some maker stores state a regular price next to the current price. Right now 8 of the tracked devices show a store-stated list price above the price on the page, and the table above says how much. That is the store’s own claim. This index cannot tell you how long a markdown has been running unless a change shows up in the daily history, so I do not call it a “price drop” until the history supports it. The Black Friday report applies that rule to the sale window.

How was this data collected?

• Source. The maker’s own online store page for each device. Each row stores the exact page, so you can open it and compare.
• Frequency. One request per product page per day, spaced at least three seconds apart, with a user agent that names this site. Before any fetch the script reads the host’s robots.txt. A page it disallows is recorded as blocked and skipped. No block is worked around.
• What counts as the price. The price the page itself states for one fixed configuration of the device. For stores that publish a product feed, the same configuration is pinned by name, so a color or bundle change cannot move the number by accident. Where the store states a regular price next to a sale price, both are recorded.
• Baseline. The median of a device’s first three snapshots on or before November 19, 2026.
• Missing days. A blocked, failed or unreadable page becomes a status row with no price. A price is never copied forward, averaged in or estimated.
• Not used. Figures from Amazon, Best Buy data, CamelCamelCamel and Keepa history, coupon sites and any retailer other than the maker.

Limits. The index covers the devices AI Life already reviews, so it is a fixed sample and not the market. Some makers are not in it: one disallows automated access in robots.txt, and several show prices only after JavaScript runs, which a plain page read cannot see. A store price is not what you pay with a coupon, a trade-in or a retailer sale. Prices are in US dollars from US store pages.
