About this Gig
Know how your prices compare before you make your next pricing decision.
I help ecommerce retailers compare matching products across competitor stores, spot price changes, and reduce time spent on manual checks.
You will get a clear pricing report that helps you:
- See your prices alongside matched competitor products.
- Identify where competitors are charging more or less.
- Spot price drops and promotions on the products you track.
- Follow changes over time with scheduled updates.
- Check the evidence using source links and collection dates.
- Custom Price-Tracking Scripts - Run your own competitor price checks with a reusable custom script
Products are matched using agreed identifiers and variant details, with uncertain matches flagged for review. Your report focuses on the products and competitors that matter to your store.
Choose a one-time comparison or scheduled reports for an agreed period and frequency.
This gig has 300+ reviews and a 4.9-star rating.
Send your store URL, competitor URLs, product list, and preferred update frequency. I'll confirm what can be tracked and recommend the right package.

FAQ
What do you need to get started?
Please send your product list with URLs or product identifiers, your current selling prices, competitor store URLs, and your target country and currency. I’ll review the sources and confirm the scope before you order.
Which websites can you monitor?
I can work with many publicly accessible ecommerce stores and product listings. Please send the website URLs before ordering so I can confirm access, available price information, and whether matching products can be identified accurately.
Which package should I choose?
Choose Basic for a quick comparison of today’s prices. Standard gives you a wider comparison plus a second check to identify changes. Choose Premium when you want daily monitoring and regular summaries over a 14-day period.
What counts as one product?
One product means one specific SKU or variant. Different sizes, colours, or pack quantities count separately. Your selected products are compared across the competitor stores included in your package, wherever matching listings are available.
How do you make sure products are comparable?
I match products using available identifiers, brand, model, size, colour, and pack quantity. Uncertain matches and unavailable listings are clearly flagged, helping you avoid misleading comparisons between different products.
What will I receive?
You’ll receive a clear Excel or CSV report showing your supplied prices, matched competitor prices, price differences, source links, and collection dates. Standard adds changes between two checks. Premium adds daily price history and two weekly summaries.
How often will prices be checked?
Basic includes one snapshot. Standard includes five checks, 120 hours apart. Premium includes one check per day for 14 days, within its 21-day delivery period. Changes that happen and reverse between checks may not appear in the report.
Are shipping, taxes, and discounts included?
Reports compare displayed product prices in one agreed market and currency. Before starting, we’ll confirm how taxes, shipping, and conditional discounts should be treated. Please mention any need for a full delivered-price comparison before ordering.
Can I request more products or longer monitoring?
Yes. I can prepare a custom offer for additional products, more competitor stores, more frequent checks, or a longer monitoring period. Continuing after Premium’s included 14 days requires a separate agreed order.
What do revisions include?
Basic includes one revision; Standard and Premium include two. Revisions cover adjustments to matching, fields, or formatting within the agreed scope. Additional products, new websites, or extra monitoring days require an extra or custom offer.
