No scraper to write, no proxies to rent, no selectors to maintain. Add a competitor's storefront and competly.co finds your products there, reads their prices and keeps every reading.
A page somebody set by hand is tried first, and ends the search.
The competitor's own search, asked for the product's barcode.
The same search, in the shop's language and its way of writing sizes.
The shop's own list of product pages.
A search scoped to the competitor's site.
Last, and only for a storefront nothing else could fill.
Price crawler as a service
Pinned page, the shop's own search, its sitemap, a web search: tried in order, and the method that worked is remembered for the next product.
Structured data, microdata and page strategies are tried in order, and each price type is kept apart.
Import your catalog from XML, CSV or JSON; export the prices to CSV, Excel, XML or JSON.
Extraction
Where a generic price scraper returns one number, every price on the page is read separately, with the stock, at the variant you sell.
Feeds
Start from your product feed instead of a list of links. The field mapping is proposed automatically and the feed is re-downloaded on a schedule you set.
No. There is no scraper to write, no proxy pool to rent and no selectors to maintain. Adding a competitor is pasting its storefront's address.
One credit reads one price; finding a product's page the first time is five, the read included. Plans are a fixed monthly allowance, from 600 credits free to 30,000 for €49.
Not today. The data leaves competly.co as an export of the product list in CSV, Excel, XML or JSON.
Readings are tried with several strategies in order, and every reading is kept with the page and the strategy that read it, failures included, so a broken storefront shows up rather than going quiet.
Free to start: 25 products, 3 storefronts, 600 credits a month. No credit card.
