Monitor Competitor Pricing Pages

Why Monitor Competitor Pricing?

• Stay competitive: React quickly when competitors adjust their pricing
• Market intelligence: Understand pricing trends in your industry
• Strategic planning: Time your own pricing changes effectively

How to Set Up Price Monitoring

1. Create a Monitor

Add your competitor's pricing page URL. QuietDiff will fetch the HTML every few minutes.

2. Extract the Price

Use a CSS selector to target the price element. For example:

• .price - for class="price"
• #monthly-price - for id="monthly-price"
• .plan-card .amount - for nested elements

3. Get Alerts

Choose email, webhook, or check via API when the price changes.

Best Practices

• Monitor the right element: Target the specific price, not the whole page
• Check frequency: Start with 5-minute intervals for time-sensitive pricing
• Multiple competitors: Track 3-5 key competitors on your plan

Limitations

QuietDiff fetches raw HTML. If the price is loaded via JavaScript after page load, monitor the API endpoint instead, or use a service with JavaScript rendering.
