FAILED.
- Kept
Actor.exit() only on the successful completion path.

Documentation strategy update
- Repositioned the Actor around reliable price-point changes, snapshots, and page diffs.
- Added a field-level reliability table and five-page production evidence.
- Added recommended baseline, selector, schedule, browser, and snapshot-store defaults.
- Kept
pricingPlans explicitly documented as best-effort on complex catalogs.
- Filtered unnamed price fragments out of
pricingPlans while retaining them in pricePoints for monitoring.
- Canonicalized common commercial plan names and deduplicated nested DOM candidates by plan name.
- Reduced real-world plan noise: Notion 16→6, Vercel 26→3, Apify 13→4, and Stripe 50→5 candidates.
- Documented that
pricingPlans is best-effort on complex usage-based pricing catalogs; price points and text diffs remain authoritative.
- Validated five live pricing pages with zero errors on remote build
0.2.5.
- Improved Store visual presentation for conversion.
- Updated README first screen with badges,
At a glance, buyer personas, and workflow summary.

Competitor Pricing Page Monitor & SaaS Price Tracker while keeping the Actor unique name stable.

assets/competitor-pricing-store-icon.png and assets/competitor-pricing-preview-banner.png.
- Improved pricing extraction heuristics after a 10-URL real-world pricing-page sample.
- Reduced FAQ/free-text false positives by requiring concrete price signals or explicit non-priced sales-plan signals for standalone plans.
- Inferred currencies from global page price points even when plan cards are incomplete.
- Filtered noisy question-like CTA text from extracted CTAs.
- Published build
0.2.2 and created a daily Apify Task/Schedule smoke monitor.
- Added competitor-pricing-specific extraction instead of generic page monitoring only.
- Extracts plan names, raw prices, normalized numeric prices, currencies, billing periods, features, CTA text, free-trial signals, free-plan signals, and discount signals.
- Enriched Dataset rows with pricing-specific fields:
hasPricing, planCount, pricePoints, currencies, billingPeriods, hasFreeTrial, hasFreePlan, hasDiscount, ctaTexts, and pricingPlans.
- Updated Dataset schema with
Pricing overview and Extracted plans views.
- Rewrote README for SaaS competitor-pricing monitoring use cases.
- Added TDD tests for pricing extraction and result enrichment.
- Generated Competitor Pricing Page Monitor from the reusable Apify Actor factory.
- Added production project structure, schemas, README, commercial documentation, tests, Docker, CI workflow files, and validation scripts.
