The only SaaS pricing monitor that extracts structured plan data and charges only when something actually changes.
Replace £200/month Tierly and Competera with pay-per-meaningful-event. Eight pricing-monitor actors exist on Apify Store — all re-scrape full pages every run and return screenshots or raw HTML. None extract structured plan schemas. None compute semantic diffs. None emit only-on-change.
What it does
- Visits SaaS pricing pages using a real browser (Playwright)
- Extracts a structured plan schema: plan names, prices, billing intervals, per-tier features, usage limits
- Compares against the previous run stored in Key-Value Store
- Only charges
pricing-changedwhen a meaningful change is detected — not on every run - Returns a natural-language summary: "Pro plan increased from $49 to $59 (+20%)"
Extraction modes
- Pattern Based — regex + DOM heuristics; no API key required; fast and cheap
- AI Structured — GPT-4o-mini extracts the full schema; most accurate (~$0.0001/page)
- Both — AI validates pattern extraction
