Hi there!
I just finished making a simple price tracker for online stores to keep an eye on their competition. It’s pretty basic but gets the job done.
I saw that most other options out there cost a ton or have way too many bells and whistles. My tool just focuses on tracking competitor prices automatically.
I’m curious to hear from shop owners or folks who’ve done this before:
- How do you check what your competitors are charging?
- What would make a tool like this actually helpful for you?
If you want to give it a try, let me know. I can even tweak it a bit to fit what you need.
Any thoughts or feedback would be awesome. Thanks!
hey flyingeagle, your tracker sounds pretty neat! i usually mess around with spreadsheets and getting updates manually is a real hassle. does it update for several sites on its own? also, can it notify me if prices drop to a target range?
Wow, FlyingEagle, this sounds super interesting! I’ve been looking for something like this for ages. Quick question - how often does it update the prices? And I’m curious, does it work for international sites too?
I’ve tried a few price trackers before, but they always seemed to miss some of the lesser-known competitors. Does yours have any way to add custom URLs? That’d be a game-changer for me.
Also, have you thought about adding a feature to track historical price trends? Sometimes it’s not just about the current price, but understanding how it’s changed over time.
I’d love to give it a try if you’re open to beta testers. How stable is it right now? Any quirks we should know about?
I’ve been using a similar tool for my small online business, and it’s been a game-changer. The key features that made it truly useful were customizable update frequencies and the ability to export data for further analysis. One suggestion: consider adding a feature to track product availability alongside prices. It’s helped me spot opportunities when competitors run out of stock. Also, ensure the tool can handle dynamic pricing strategies some larger retailers use. If you’ve addressed these aspects, I think you’re on to something valuable. Have you considered partnering with e-commerce platforms to integrate your tool directly?
