Everything you need to set up competitor price monitoring properly — no signup, no email required. Print it, share it, use it.
A practical guide from the team at Speccyfox.
Focus on the stores that actually take your sales — not the whole market.
Pricing pages, key product pages, and promo/landing pages — not the homepage.
A price, a discount, a plan name, stock status — not every cosmetic edit.
High-stakes pricing pages: every 15–60 min. Slower pages: daily is fine.
Only alert on words/numbers that matter (price, "sale", "out of stock").
Email first; Slack/webhooks once your workflow needs it.
If you're in the EU, use an EU-hosted, GDPR-ready tool so monitored data stays in Europe.
e.g. "If a top competitor drops a key price by 10%+, review our price the same day."
Keep a history so you can spot patterns (when rivals run promos, how often prices move).
Drop pages that never change; add new competitors as they appear.
Speccyfox does all of this for you: paste 3 competitor pages and get instant before/after alerts. EU-hosted, GDPR-ready.
