You won't find out until next week. By then you've lost sales you couldn't see - or left margin on the table by staying lower than you needed to.

A competitor ran a weekend flash sale on the exact SKU you sell. Your price was 22% higher for 3 days. You had no idea until a customer mentioned it.
A competitor went out of stock on their best-seller. You had inventory. But you didn't know — so you didn't push, didn't promote, didn't capture the demand.
You review the numbers. Revenue is down. You start digging. Turns out two competitors quietly dropped prices 3 weeks ago. You've been bleeding sales ever since.
These are not edge cases. They happen every week, to every e-commerce team without systematic price monitoring.
Market shifts happen overnight. Most teams find out when sales volume drops - which is already too late to respond.
You find out when customers stop converting.
Staying at your 'competitive' low price when the market has moved up means leaving money on the table with no alert, no record.
That margin is gone. No record, no alert, no trace.
Competitor Out-Of-Stock events are your highest-margin windows. They open and close in hours - often before you even check.
The window closes before you even knew it was open.

hello@trueextract.techYour 15-40 SKUs (name or URL)
3-10 competitor sites
Preferred frequency: daily, weekly or monthly
Anything specific - MAP violations, stock alerts, promos.
Not sure where to start? Just say so - we'll suggest competitors for you.
You email us your 15-40 SKUs and 3-10 competitor sites. We track prices, detect flash sales, stock gaps and pricing patterns, then send you a clear intelligence report at your preferred frequency — daily, weekly or monthly.
Yes, completely. We're not offering a trial - we're doing this free because we're in the research phase of building a price intelligence product. We want to understand real problems from real teams before we build anything. No credit card, no signup, no catch.
We do it manually and through our own tooling. You give us the SKU names or product URLs and the competitor sites. We find the matching products, monitor prices, stock status, and promo events, then compile everything into your report. You don't need to install anything or share any credentials.
Up to 40 SKUs and 10 competitor sites per report. If your list is larger, email us anyway - we'll figure out the most valuable subset to start with and can discuss what a scaled version would look like.
Your choice - daily, weekly, or monthly. Most teams start weekly to get a feel for the patterns, then adjust based on how fast their market moves. Flash-sale-heavy categories often benefit from daily monitoring.
A clean, readable PDF delivered to your inbox. Not a dashboard. It includes a comparison table, flagged items, pattern notes, and a short written summary of what we found.
No. Your SKU list, your competitor set, and your report are yours. We don't aggregate or share client data. We're a small team building a product - not a data broker.
