Shopify Price Tracker: Competitor Price Snapshot & Price Change Monitor

Track competitor prices on any Shopify store, custom domains included. Each run gives you one finished snapshot per store. It shows the store's price range (min, median, average, max), price bands by product type and vendor, how much of the catalog is on sale and the average discount, the in-stock share, and the cheapest, priciest, most-discounted and newest products. You also get a CSV price list. From the second run on, it shows what changed: price drops, price increases, new products, removed products, back in stock and sold out.

• ✅ One row per store: no 5,000-row product dump to clean up
• ✅ Change monitor: schedule it daily or weekly, and every snapshot is compared with the last one
• ✅ Price bands per product type: see where a competitor positions each category
• ✅ Free cross-store comparison row when you track 2+ stores
• ✅ Keyword filter: track only part of a catalog (for example "hoodie, jacket")
• ✅ Free error rows: non-Shopify, password-protected or blocked stores are never charged

Who it's for

• Shopify and DTC brands: watch 3-10 competitors' prices and promotions every week
• Agencies: a competitive pricing slide for a client, in one run
• Dropshippers and resellers: spot price drops and restocks fast
• Analysts: median price and discount depth across a niche

FAQ

Does it work on custom domains? Yes. It uses the public storefront product feed that every Shopify store has, so custom domains like allbirds.com work. Where is the history kept? It's kept in a named key-value store in your own Apify account. Use a different snapshotStoreName per project. Is it legal? It reads only public product pages that the store publishes for everyone, and it follows robots.txt.
