The problem

Manual price monitoring doesn't scale

Checking a few competitor products by hand works for a week. Then prices change overnight, products go out of stock, new launches appear, and your spreadsheet is already out of date.

E-commerce moves too fast for copy-paste. Teams that win on pricing and assortment use automation to collect the same data every day, so they can react in hours instead of weeks.

What manual tracking really costs

  • Hours every week spent opening product pages and copying prices.
  • Typos and gaps that make your numbers hard to trust.
  • Missed changes because nobody checked on the right day.
What you can track

Every product detail that matters, in one spreadsheet

Point the tool at product pages, category pages or a keyword, and it collects the same fields from every store in a clean, consistent format.

Prices & discounts

Current price and currency for every product, so you can spot price drops and promotions as they happen.

Stock & availability

In stock, low stock or sold out. Know when a competitor runs out, and when they restock.

New product launches

Scrape category pages regularly to see new products the moment they're added to a catalog.

Competitor catalogs

Product names, brands, descriptions, images and categories for an entire competitor range.

Ratings & reviews

Average rating, review count and the reviews themselves, to learn what customers love and hate.

Seller information

See which sellers offer a product on marketplaces like Amazon and eBay.

Product IDs

SKU, GTIN, EAN, UPC and MPN, so you can match the same product across different stores.

Shipping & variants

Shipping details plus sizes, colors and other variants, each with its own price and stock.

How it works

From product links to a daily price report in 5 steps

No coding needed. You tell the tool what to collect, and it hands you a spreadsheet.

STEP 1

Choose your stores

Pick the competitors and marketplaces you want to watch.

STEP 2

Add links or keywords

Paste product pages, category pages, or just type a keyword to search.

STEP 3

Run the tool

It visits each page and collects prices, stock, reviews and more.

STEP 4

Export your data

Download as Excel, CSV or JSON, or send it to Google Sheets.

STEP 5

Schedule it

Run it every day or week to build your own price history.

Product page links give the most accurate results. Category pages and keywords are best for discovering products you don't know about yet.

Perfect for

Who uses e-commerce data automation

E-commerce brands

Dropshippers

Compare supplier prices, watch stock levels before an item sells out, and check what other stores charge for the same product.

Pricing analysts

Build a daily price history across retailers, measure price gaps, and feed clean data into your pricing models.

Retail researchers

Study assortments, ratings and reviews across categories to understand a market before entering it.

Read competitor reviews at scale to find the complaints your next product can solve.

Good to know

What it does, and what it doesn't

  • Collects public product data that anyone can see on a store's website.
  • Works on big marketplaces and on independent stores built with Shopify, WooCommerce or Magento.
  • Exports to Excel, CSV, JSON and connects to Google Sheets, Zapier, Make and n8n.
  • It shows today's data, not past prices. Schedule regular runs to build your own history.
  • It can't access pages behind a login, like your supplier's private dashboard.
Pricing

Pay only for what you collect

The tool runs on Apify with pay-per-result pricing, listed from about $1 per 1,000 product details at the time of writing. Extra options like reviews and seller details cost a little more. Apify's free plan includes monthly credits, so you can test it on your own products before paying anything.

Use the maximum product setting to control your costs on every run.
