The MaGOG search tool is a possible replacement for the spreadsheet.
It can tell you whether the game is game is on sale and whether it is the best price, but it seems to be missing the best price history, which tells us
a) Whether this is the first time the best price has been offerred (green category)
b) When the last time the same best price was.
gogdb can't help, as its price history hasn't been updated in several years.
It has no colour coding either, so you either need to read each entry and compare sale discounts, or restrict the search to best price only to quickly scan the old green/yellow categories.
That being said, it isn't the most user friendly solution. It is written as a thin wrapper to the query engine, almost as if the user was writing SQL queries themselves.
