How pricing actually moves in black friday competitor monitoring

Black Friday is an operational sprint, not a planned campaign. The retailer who breaks the corridor first at 11pm Thursday sets the trajectory; the brand operator who watches the entire competitor set at 30-minute cadence captures the swing-buyer cohort within hours.

What this looks like in week one
A growth ops lead at a $50M DTC brand runs DiffScout's Business plan during BFCM week with 30-minute cadence on 200 competitor URLs. Friday at 11:08pm a competitor extends their Black Friday sale by 24 hours; her team's matched response email is in subscriber inboxes by 11:42pm. Saturday's revenue holds.

Composite scenario — based on patterns we see daily across the black friday competitor monitoring cohort.

Questions buyers in this category ask.

What's the right setup for Black Friday week, Pro or Business?
Business plan ($99/mo) for the week. 30-minute cadence is the difference between catching a corridor break in 30 minutes vs an hour. Pause to Pro after Cyber Week. The $99 single-month upgrade pays for itself in one captured competitor extension.
Can I run 200+ competitor missions during BFCM week?
Yes. Business plan includes unlimited missions and 450 checks/month, plenty of headroom.
Does the AI vision fallback handle promo strips that paint post-load?
Yes, that's exactly the use case. Most BFCM landing pages render the '50% OFF + free shipping' header strip via JS post-load. Vision fallback captures it.
