Know when competitor product prices change
Compare observed public prices and availability labels across repeat checks. Export CSV/JSON change data for competitor reviews, merchandising audits and price-monitoring workflows.
Open a prefilled product price check on Apify Actor details and live pricing See first-run setupNo login to competitor stores. Inspect the Actor's live pricing and request limits. Only permitted public pages are supported; no hidden inventory data.
One workflow, three steps
1. Choose URLs
Provide permitted public product URLs. Optionally specify your own reference price for comparison.
2. Set a baseline
Run once to record current public price and availability observations.
3. Recheck changes
Run again with the same monitor ID. Review detected differences in CSV/JSON output.
Try a bounded first run
Open the Actor's Input tab. Start with one permitted URL and a stable monitor ID. For later comparisons, reuse the same monitor ID.

Check current pricing and start on ApifyFrequently asked questions
Does it show private inventory counts?
No. It compares public price information and publicly stated availability labels; it does not infer hidden stock quantities.
Is a single run enough to find changes?
No. Run once to establish a baseline and again later to compare observed public price and availability information.
Can I compare against my own price?
Yes. The supported referencePrices input lets you provide a reference price for each monitored URL.
How much does it cost?
Always check the live Apify Pricing tab before starting a run; charges vary by the Actor and output.
