Maybe a video clip will help? Please check the 2-minute video explaining what Price2Spy actually is, and how it can help your business.

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

No problem, just send us a list containing up to 25 products for your free trial. 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 Automatch possibilities, or our product crawl features

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.

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. What is illegal is price fixing, and that is quite different to price tracking. A side note: price fixing is not illegal in US, while it is in most of the rest of the world.

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

• Price Matrix – listing all products, from all competitors, marking ones which are cheapest / most expensive
• 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
• Which products from a certain Webstore have price below the market average
• Which products are in violation of MAP policy
• Which price checks are failing, and why

All of the above reports you can either pull out yourself (any time you like), or you can instruct Price2Spy to send them automatically (as a daily report in Excel, sent to your mailbox)

Yes, that’s what Automated Reports are for.

Basically, any report you can pull out from Price2Spy can be turned into an automated report that will be sent to you by email on daily basis (you can specify the exact hour of the day when you’d like the automated report sent). The report itself will be in Excel file attached to this email.

However, we have described several of our client’s cases, so you can compare it to your own organization.

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

Yes, Price2Spy uses highly distributed system architecture, enabling us to crawl / monitor websites from almost any location in the world.
