What this looks like in week one
A category manager at a 30-SKU footwear D2C catches a competitor's silent $15 drop on a hero SKU at 9:42am Tuesday. They match by 11am. Saved a weekend of guesswork; their CAC stayed below the new market floor.

Composite scenario — based on patterns we see daily across the d2c brands cohort.

Sixty seconds from URL paste to first alert in your inbox.

  1. 01

    Paste a competitor URL

    Any product page, any pricing page, any storefront. The waterfall extractor reads structured data first and falls through to AI vision when sites block scrapers.

  2. 02

    Pick the SKU you actually compete with

    Five-color × seven-size variants get parsed automatically. You track the one that matters — usually the lowest list-price option in the style.

    Get an email within the hour

    Daily on Free, hourly on Pro, every 30 minutes on Business. The alert includes old price, new price, percent change, and a screenshot.

Questions buyers in this category ask.

Do you work on Shopify, BigCommerce, and custom-built stores?
Yes. The waterfall extractor reads structured data first (every Shopify store ships JSON-LD product schema), falls through to DOM patterns, then to AI vision for stores that block scrapers. It works whether the store is on Shopify Plus, BigCommerce, Magento, or a custom Next.js storefront.
Can I track variants, different sizes, colors, or bundles?
Yes. When you paste a product URL, the scanner detects every offered variant (e.g. Allbirds runs in 6 colors × 7 sizes) and lets you pick which specific SKU to alert on. Most users track the lowest list-price variant per style.
How do you handle bot-protected sites like Shopify Plus stores with Cloudflare?
The fallback for blocked HTTP is AI vision over a Playwright screenshot. We render the page in a real browser, screenshot it, and read the price the way a human reads it. Slower but unblockable.
