Competitors vs SpotRival

Competitors is a web service for monitoring products and competitor pricing. It tracks SKUs, matches competitor listings to a catalog using attributes, images, and text similarity, and offers a Smart Match queue for reviewing suggested links. Alerts identify competitor price changes and out-of-stock products. Reports show low, high, and average prices in color-coded tables, with Excel, CSV, and XML formats and scheduled email delivery. Catalogs can be imported through Excel, CSV, REST APIs, or GraphQL APIs, with saved mappings for later updates. Pricing rules and formulas generate price recommendations, and automatic repricing can be integrated. Roles and approvals direct price changes for review and keep an audit trail. Checks run daily on Starter and hourly on Growth; Enterprise supports custom frequencies or on-demand checks through its API. A free plan and 14-day trial are listed. Starter costs $49 a month for up to 500 SKUs and three competitors; Growth costs $149 a month for up to 10,000 SKUs and unlimited competitors.

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.
