Competitor price monitoring for service businesses

Every tool in this category was built for retail: product feeds, SKUs, hourly repricing. A service firm has none of those. It has a price list on its own website, a handful of local competitors with price lists of their own, and no time to compare them. That is the gap this is built for.

Retail monitoring versus service monitoring

What the monitoring actually produces

Not a dashboard to check. One page, by email, on a schedule: every service you sell, what the local market charges for it, and where you sit.

Questions people ask first

What is competitor price monitoring?
Collecting the prices your competitors publish, tracking how they change, and comparing them with your own. For retailers this means product feeds and SKUs. For a service firm it means published price lists — an hourly rate, a rate per square metre, a price per job.
Why do the usual tools not fit a service business?
They are built around SKUs and product feeds. A cleaning firm has no SKUs: it has five to fifteen services quoted in units that differ between competitors — per hour, per square metre, per flat, per size tier. The work is not matching identical products, it is making different units comparable.
Where does the data come from?
From price lists providers publish on their own public websites. Nothing private, nothing scraped from behind a login, and no data passed between customers. Every price we show carries its source and the date it was read.
Does it tell me what to charge?
No, and that is deliberate. We show where you sit relative to the market and leave the decision to you. You may sit above the market for reasons a price list cannot show — quality, scope, insurance, the crew you keep. Nothing here is a recommended price level.
How often are prices checked?
Weekly on the paid plans, monthly on the entry plan. Service prices move far more slowly than retail prices, so hourly checks would cost more and tell you nothing.

The manual version, written out

None of this needs software to be true. These guides walk through the same work by hand — pricing, comparison, and how to tell where you sit.
