Who needs competitor price monitoring

Competitor price monitoring serves everyone who competes on price and shelf in e-commerce: online retailers, brands and manufacturers, distributors, and trading companies that depend on fresh competitor data.

Online retailers

See competitors' prices and promotions for every SKU and keep your own pricing competitive without manual checks.

Brands and manufacturers

Know the prices your products actually sell for at retail, enforce your pricing policy, and verify retailers honor their commitments.

Category managers

Compare shelves: what competitors carry, what you lack, and where prices diverge on overlapping assortment.

Analysts and BI teams

Get a clean stream of prices and stock levels straight into your data warehouse: no manual exports, makeshift scrapers, or lost information.

How pricing works

How much does online store price monitoring cost? The total comes down to clear factors, from the number of stores to the delivery format. We send an estimate and a data sample before work begins.

Number of sources
How many websites and platforms need to be covered.
Data volume
The number of products, pages, and fields in the extract.
Update frequency
One-time, daily, or hourly: the more frequent, the higher the load.
Source complexity
Dynamic pages, logins, and anti-bot protection.
Delivery format
File, refreshed feed, API, or a ready-made web interface.
Extra processing
Matching, enrichment, translation, normalization, and deduplication.

What competitor price monitoring is

Competitor price monitoring is the automated collection of prices, promotions, availability, and assortment from competitors' online stores. Every change is recorded with a date.

It works simply. A scraper crawls the target sites on a schedule. The data lands in a single database. You get a ready picture of the market and can see:

  • who raised or lowered a price;
  • who launched a promotion and for how long;
  • whose product dropped out of sale;
  • what's new in the catalogs.

In e-commerce, price remains the main competitive argument. Most shoppers compare offers across several stores. That's why retailers and brands watch prices constantly.

Monitoring data has become the foundation for pricing and decision-making at companies of every size.

Online store price monitoring: what we track

We capture everything visible on an online storefront:

  • prices: base, promotional, and loyalty-card;
  • discounts, coupons, and promos;
  • availability and product statuses;
  • catalog composition: new arrivals, delisted items, and category changes.

Any online store qualifies, from niche shops to national chains. Logins, regional pricing, and dynamically loaded content don't stand in our way. The store's platform doesn't matter: Shopify, Magento, WooCommerce, or a custom build. We've covered store-platform scrapers such as OpenCart on our blog.

We account for regional pricing. The same online store can hold different prices in different cities. We capture the regions you need separately and tie availability information to its region. Price comparison stays fair.

Where to view product price trends

Wherever your monitoring history is delivered:

  • extracts with the date of every change;
  • your BI system or spreadsheet;
  • a web interface with charts for every product.

We store every snapshot. You can pull a competitor's prices for any period. Checking seasonality or the market's reaction to your promos is easy.

You can see who moves prices first in the niche and how long discounts live. This history underpins repricing, price indexes, and reports for category teams.

Want to explore price trends on real data? We'll open demo access to the interface before the project even starts.

A retail scraper for e-commerce tasks

A retail scraper is a program that collects data from shopping destinations: online stores and marketplaces.

Off-the-shelf SaaS tools and monitoring apps suit typical tasks. But they have limits: a fixed list of supported platforms, with setup and maintenance on your side. We compared the ready-made options in our overview of scraping tools.

We combine both approaches:

  • the flexibility of custom development for your sources;
  • the convenience of SaaS: data arrives on its own, as a service (Data as a Service, DaaS);
  • API access when the data needs to live inside your product, such as a repricer.

Monitoring competitor and manufacturer price lists

We work with more than storefronts. We collect and compare price lists from competitors, dealers, and manufacturers against your assortment.

Supplier price lists often arrive as Excel or PDF files. We standardize those too and link the line items to your products.

Adjacent tasks have services of their own. Deep matching of large catalogs is handled by "Product matching". Enforcing pricing policy against MSRP and MAP price lists is covered by "MSRP and MAP monitoring".

How we deliver data: file, feed, API, demo access

Formats that fit your processes:

  • one-time extract: CSV, Excel, or JSON;
  • a recurring feed with change history;
  • API access: data lands in your BI, repricer, or spreadsheet;
  • a web dashboard with filters, charts, and export.

We tailor the monitoring service's capabilities to you. The field structure adapts to your systems. Alerts arrive by email or messenger on the day of the event.

Before we start, we send a free sample covering your competitors. You see the field set and the data quality before paying.

We've been collecting data for e-commerce since 2015. Automated checks guard completeness. A dedicated project manager replies within one business day.

What's included in online store price monitoring

This is the umbrella service: capturing prices, promotions, availability, and assortment from any online storefront. A marketplace is a special case of an online store. Adjacent tracks are part of the umbrella service as building blocks:

Take one track or the whole set. We'll assemble the monitoring scope around your task.

The one exception: we don't capture shelf prices inside brick-and-mortar stores. We work with open information published online.

The "Pricing on market data" solution together with competitor analysis helps shape your price strategy. Industry solutions are collected under "Data for retail" and "Data for e-commerce".

questions & answers

Questions about online store price monitoring

If you don't see the answer you need, send a request: we'll reply within one business day.

Which stores can you capture?

Practically any: from niche online stores to national chains, including sites with logins, regional pricing, and bot protection. If a source is technically accessible, we'll set up the capture.

How often is the data updated?

Anything from a one-time snapshot to several captures a day. For key items, we can set up alerts on the day a price changes.

Do you capture promotions and loyalty pricing?

Yes, we record the base price, the promotional price, and the loyalty-card price: each sits in its own field in the data.

Can I get price history?

Yes, we keep every snapshot: trends for each item and comparisons across any periods are available.

How much does online store monitoring cost?

Projects start at $150. The final price depends on the number of stores, product volume, update frequency, source complexity, and extra processing (see the factor breakdown above). We send an exact estimate and a free data sample before work begins.

What is competitor price monitoring?

Competitor price monitoring is the automated tracking of prices, promotions, availability, and assortment in competitors' stores, with a history of every change. A scraper collects the data on a schedule, and you get ready-to-use tables, feeds, or dashboards for pricing, analytics, and repricing. What we track and how we deliver it is covered in the section above.

Where can I view product price trends?

In your monitoring history: every price is stored with a date, and trends are visible in extracts, your BI system, or a web interface with per-product charts. Public price history services show a single product at a time and suit spot checks; working with a full assortment takes monitoring of your own. On request, we'll open demo access to an interface with live data.

Can you monitor retail chain prices?

Yes, as long as we're talking online storefronts: we capture prices from retail chains' websites, online stores, and apps, including city-level regional pricing. In-store shelf prices at brick-and-mortar locations are out of scope: we only collect what's published online. Chain locations are collected by the "Chain location lists" service, and retail solutions are gathered under "Data for retail".

How do you monitor marketplace prices?

The same way as regular online stores: recurring scraping of product pages and categories, capturing prices, discounts, marketplace-funded promotions, sellers, and rankings on a schedule. A marketplace is an online store too, so the task fits within the general price monitoring service. For Amazon, Walmart, and other platforms there is a dedicated service, "Marketplace scraping and monitoring": there we also link marketplace listings to online store prices so comparisons stay fair.
