No. The free plan requires no credit card. If you want to upgrade to a paid plan later, you'll enter your card at that time.

You can monitor any publicly accessible URL — typically a competitor's pricing page. Examples:

• pricing.competitor.com
• competitor.com/plans
• app.competitor.com/pricing

If a page requires authentication, we can't monitor it. But if it's a public pricing page, we can.

• Free plan: Daily (once per day)
• Starter plan: Hourly (every hour)
• Pro plan: Every 30 minutes

Checks run automatically 24/7. You get an alert via email within minutes of a change being detected.

We monitor for changes that matter: prices, plan names, features, CTAs, and plan structure. We filter out noise like:

• Timestamp updates (date/time widgets)
• Social proof counters ("Trusted by 10K+ teams")
• Cookie banners
• Ad rotations
• Minor formatting

So you get alerts only for things that matter.

No. You're requesting a public webpage, just like any visitor to their site. They see a normal HTTP request from a Vercel IP — they have no way to know it's associated with you specifically.

• Free plan: 7 days
• Starter plan: 90 days
• Pro plan: Unlimited

This lets you see when competitors changed their pricing and by how much.

• Free: $0/month. 2 competitors, daily checks, 7-day history
• Starter: $19/month. 10 competitors, hourly checks, 90-day history
• Pro: $49/month. Unlimited competitors, 30-min checks, unlimited history, webhooks

All plans include email alerts. Cancel anytime, no long-term commitment.

Yes. Upgrade or downgrade your plan anytime from your dashboard. Changes take effect immediately. If you downgrade, you'll be refunded a prorated amount.

Not yet, but we're considering it. For now, all billing is monthly. If annual billing would help you, let us know.

We accept all major credit cards: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover. Payments are processed by Stripe.

We fetch the pricing page HTML, extract pricing-relevant content (using CSS selectors), normalize it (remove timestamps, format variations), compute a SHA-256 hash, and compare it to the previous version. If the hash changed, we compute a word-level diff and score the significance. Only changes above a confidence threshold trigger an alert.

Full technical details are in our blog post.

Most pricing pages are server-rendered or use standard JS frameworks (React, Vue, Svelte) that hydrate quickly — those work fine with our standard monitoring.

For heavy client-side rendering (aggressive JS obfuscation, dynamic content), we can run a headless browser, but this is slower and requires a Pro plan for hourly checks.

If a page is difficult to monitor, we'll tell you rather than silently miss changes.

Security: All data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS). Passwords are hashed. Payment processing is handled by Stripe (PCI-compliant). We use Supabase for data storage with RLS (Row-Level Security) so your data is visible only to you.

Privacy: We don't sell your data. We don't share it with anyone. Your monitoring data is yours alone. See our privacy practices on the About page.

The monitoring engine runs on GitHub Actions (99.9% uptime). The API runs on Vercel (99.99% uptime). Email is sent by Resend (99.99% uptime).

Our status page shows real-time uptime. If something goes down, you can check there.
