CompeteTracker vs SpotRival

CompeteTracker is a web app that helps Shopify stores set prices using competitor data. It automatically monitors prices across websites and keeps pricing history, while discovering competitors and suggesting price changes with strategy controls. Merchants can choose to match the lowest price, aim for the median, or undercut the lowest by a set percentage. A price floor and per-cycle maximum change limit constrain those strategies. The app matches store products to comparable competitor listings and excludes out-of-stock items from recommendations. Suggestions show matched competitors and pricing anchors, and changes require approval per variant. A one-click Shopify update includes safety guardrails and an audit trail. Prices are normalized to the store's currency, and the product advertises instant price-change alerts. The free plan monitors three competitors and requires no credit card; Starter monitors 10 for $19.99 a month, and Pro monitors 25 for $49.99 a month. The homepage advertises setup in two minutes.

SpotRival watches competitors’ publicly visible product pages for price and stock changes. It sends alerts by email and browser notification when a price changes or a product sells out or restocks; price alerts include the percentage change. Price history shows how a monitored item’s price has moved. Users can start monitoring from a product page with “Watch this page,” or request a check with “Check now.” Shopify and Amazon work out of the box, and the service supports many standard storefronts, including BigCommerce, WooCommerce, and Squarespace. It is available as a Chrome extension and on the web, with sign-in through an email link. SpotRival says it does not log in to sites on the user’s behalf or access private data. The Free plan costs $0 per month and allows three monitors with daily checks. Starter costs $9/mo for 25 monitors and checks every six hours. Pro costs $29/mo for 150 monitors, hourly checks, and CSV export for price history. All three plans include email and browser alerts.
