About this Gig
Your competitor dropped their price three days ago. You found out today from a lost sale.
This gig fixes that: a price monitoring service that tracks competitors' publicly listed prices and stock levels on a schedule and reports every change price drops, undercuts, stock-outs you can pounce on so you reprice, restock, or run your promo first.
I'm a market research specialist. I build price-tracking and reporting systems for online sellers, configured around your catalog and competitor set not a generic app resold to you.
Proof, not promises: I validated this live in a price-competitive category online (USB-C fast chargers), tracking 8 of 8 competitor listings with current prices and stock states. The full sample report is available with this gig; ask and I'll send it.
1. Setup ($500, one-time): send your product list and competitors. I configure the tracking, set the check schedule and alert rules, and deliver a baseline report.
2. Monitoring ($300/month): checks keep running on schedule. Changes trigger alerts, plus a monthly summary with a dated change log.
What you get: baseline price + stock report, scheduled checks, change alerts, monthly summary with change log.

FAQ
How fast will I hear about a competitor's price change?
Checks run on a weekly schedule, and alerts go out when a check detects a change. You'll never be more than one check cycle behind a move — versus the days or weeks most sellers take to notice on their own.
Which marketplaces do you cover?
The service is validated on major US online marketplaces (see the sample report). If you sell somewhere specific, message me before ordering and I'll confirm coverage during setup scoping.
How many products can I track?
The standard setup covers a catalog-plus-competitor set sized for a typical store. If your set is unusually large, message me first and I'll scope it honestly before you order.
Do I need any software or subscriptions?
No. I run the tracking; you receive alerts and reports. Nothing to install, nothing extra to buy.
What if a competitor's listing changes or a link breaks?
That's maintenance, and it's included in the monthly monitoring — I repair the tracking so your checks keep running.
Can I see the sample report before ordering?
Yes — it's a real baseline built from live listings (8 products, prices and stock as published). Message me and I'll send it.
