Sorry, I don't have that much time for reading, Is there a quick explanation what is Price2Spy?

How many competitor sites can you monitor for me?

There is no limit on number of competitors monitored. It can vary from just competitor site, till hundreds and hundreds. Btw, our Priceplans are based on total number of products (URLs) monitored, not on number of competitors.

I find Price2Spy a great tool, but I'm too busy to set it up myself

No problem, just send us a list containing up to 25 products. Please also let us know which competitor stores we should monitor, and we'll set your Price2Spy account free of any charge so you'll get automatic emails whenever price change is detected.

Or, do you want to monitor ALL competitor product pricing? Please check our automated product crawl features

Do I need any technical knowledge to use Price2Spy?

No. The only technical knowledge you'll need is to copy / paste the address from competitor's address. After you enter that address address (URL) into Price2Spy, the rest goes automatically.

Will my competitors know that I'm monitoring their prices?

No, for 2 reasons

• We will never disclose any details of any of our clients.
• Technically speaking, when Price2Spy checks competitor's Website, it's done from one of our servers, not your computer. Thus, your competitor has no way of knowing who is checking his prices.
• Our servers are scattered all around the world, so your competitors will have a real hard time figuring out that someone may be monitoring on them

Is it legal to monitor competitor's prices?

Of course it is. All we're doing is checking publicly available information, displayed on competitor's public Website. The point is that we check this information in smart and structured way.

How do I get my pricing reports?

Price2Spy comes with wide variety of reports which will help determine how are your competitor's positioned on the market, and how that relates to your own Web store. More concretely, you'll be able to see

• Which products from a certain Webstore have the highest market price
• Which products from a certain Webstore have the lowest market price
• Which products from a certain Webstore have price above the market average

Can I monitor my resellers?

Yes, Price2spy is used by a number of world leading brands who want to control if their resellers are in accordance to MAP (minimal advertised price) contracts.

Are there any graphical reports available?

Historical price chart is a graphical report which will show you price movements over selected period. You can pull it out for any product in Price2Spy.

Where can I find Price2Spy case studies

By it's nature, Price2Spy is a very specific and discrete tool. We will never disclose any of our client's details. However, we have described several of our client's cases, so you can compare it to your own organization. On the other hand, since we are Web merchants ourselves, you can check our own success story.

I have competitors who have Websites in several different languages. Can Price2Spy cover that?

No problem at all. All that matters is that competitor's Website has product name and price listed, that's all we need.

There are stores who won't display the price unless the product is placed in cart. Can Price2Spy track such products?

Most likely, it can. Please suggest this Web store, we'll analyze it and let you know. Please note that such sites do require Premium Price2Spy user accounts.

Can I use Price2Spy on my own Webshop?

Yes you can. If you do this you'll instantly know if your prices are high or low, compared to your competitors. Even more than that, Price2Spy will provide you with number of reports showing whether your prices are positioned on low-end or high-end.

I'm too busy to enter products / URLs myself. Can you help?

Yes, our data entry team can help. Please provide the list of products, followed by list of competitor sites.
