The problem it solves

Keeping tabs on competitor pricing means repeatedly checking their websites by hand, which is easy to forget and easy to miss. Pricing tiers and features change quietly, and by the time you notice, your team may already be reacting late. Paid monitoring tools built for this can be expensive to justify.

Who it fits

SaaS, subscription, or ecommerce businesses that need to react quickly to competitor price changes.

How it works

  1. On a set schedule, the system checks each competitor's pricing page
  2. It compares the current pricing against your saved baseline in Google Sheets
  3. Any changes to plans, tiers, or features are flagged
  4. A Slack message alerts you the moment a pricing change is detected
What you get

Price changes you hear about first

You find out the moment a competitor changes their pricing, straight in Slack.

What you get

A Slack alert describing exactly what changed on a competitor's pricing page.

What you need

An Airtop account, a Google Sheets account, and a Slack workspace.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
