Competitor monitoring use cases
The same five signals (prices, website changes, ads, reviews and rankings) answer very different questions depending on who reads them. Here is how different teams set up Competitors and what they get out of it each week.

Five teams, one competitor record
Every team starts the same way: add a competitor by its domain, confirm the pages Competitors finds (pricing page, product pages, blog, changelog, careers page) and choose which signals to follow. What changes between teams is which signals matter most, who reads the digest and where the output goes next.

| Agencies | Everything, per client | Client workspaces and shareable reports | Scale |
| Product marketing | Plans, positioning, reviews | Competitor cards for sales | Scale |
| Founders | Prices and homepage messaging | One Monday email | Starter |
Competitor monitoring for SaaS teams
A SaaS marketing team tracking ten competitors wants three things every week: who changed pricing or packaging, what shipped according to each changelog, and how ratings on G2 and Capterra moved. Competitors reads pricing pages as plans and prices, not as text, so a renamed tier or a new seat limit shows up as its own change.

Ecommerce price and promotion tracking
An ecommerce pricing manager needs to know the same day when a rival cuts the price of a key product or starts a sitewide promotion. Competitors watches product pages and category pages, records prices with currency, and flags discounts, bundles and free shipping banners as promotions.

Agencies running reports for several clients
An agency tracks competitors for several clients from one account. On Scale, each client gets its own workspace with its own competitors, alerts and digest, and every digest can be shared by link without giving the client a seat.

Product marketing and competitor cards
Product marketing keeps battlecards current for sales. On Scale, competitor cards summarize each rival on one page (plans and prices, positioning, recent changes, ads and review themes) and update from tracked changes, so the facts on a card are never older than the last check.

Founders who want one email instead of ten tabs
Many founders already check competitors by hand: open ten tabs on Monday morning, compare from memory, forget by Tuesday. Starter replaces that routine for $99 per month: 5 competitors, 10 pages each checked daily, price and website change tracking, and one digest every Monday with what changed and why it matters.
There is nothing to configure beyond adding domains. For this setup in detail, see the competitor tracker page.
What every use case shares
- Noise filtering: dates, counters, rotating banners and cookie notices never reach your digest.
- Classified changes: price up, price down, new plan, removed feature, new page, headline change, new ad, rating change, ranking change.
- Before and after side by side for every change.
- History: 12 months on Starter, 24 months on Growth, unlimited on Scale.
- Alerts by email on every plan, and Slack on Growth and above.
Plans across use cases
Starter $99 per month ($49.50 billed yearly), Growth $249 per month ($124.50 billed yearly), Scale $599 per month ($299.50 billed yearly), and Enterprise on custom pricing. All plans are priced per tracked competitor. Compare limits on the competitor monitoring software page.
Competitor monitoring use cases questions
Can one account cover several use cases?
Yes. A single account can track competitors for marketing, pricing and product marketing at once, within your plan's competitor and seat limits.
Which plan fits my use case?
Founders usually start on Starter, marketing and SaaS teams on Growth for ads, reviews and Slack, and agencies and product marketing on Scale for client workspaces and competitor cards.
Can I switch plans as my use case grows?
Yes. Move up or down at any time and the new limits apply straight away.
Is there a way to see the output first?
There is no free plan, but the demo on this site snapshots any competitor page and compares two versions, so you can see the output before you create your account.
