I will monitor competitor prices and report every change weekly
Backend Engineer for Payments, Ledgers and Verified Data
About this Gig
A price list you pull once tells you where the market was that morning. It says nothing about the competitor who quietly dropped 12% last Tuesday.
This gig watches, and reports only what moved.
WHAT YOU GET EACH WEEK
The current snapshot in Excel or CSV: product, price, currency, stock status, URL.
A change report: what went up, what went down, what went out of stock, what is new, what disappeared. With the old value and the new one side by side.
A QA line telling you how many rows the run could not confirm.
WHY THE CHANGE REPORT IS THE PRODUCT
A 3,000-row sheet every week is not information, it is homework. The change report is usually 20 lines. Those 20 lines are the reason you bought this.
MATCHING
Products are matched by SKU or code first, never by name alone. If two products are too close to call, I flag it instead of guessing. A wrong match is worse than no match.
HOW IT WORKS
One order covers 4 weekly runs. First run sets the baseline, the next three report changes against it.
WHAT I DON'T DO
Pages behind a login, personal data, or anything a site's terms forbid.
Send me the site before ordering and I'll confirm it works.

FAQ
What happens after the 4 weeks?
You order again and I keep the same baseline, so week 5 compares against week 4 with no gap in your history. Most buyers renew monthly. Message me first and I'll make sure the continuation is set up correctly.
How do you know it is the same product week to week?
By SKU or product code when the site exposes one, otherwise by the stable part of the URL. Name matching is the last resort and never on its own. If a match is uncertain, it goes in a review list rather than into your report as a fake price drop.
