Krakt PriceCreep: catch subscription price hikes before your card does

Netflix, Spotify, ChatGPT, Microsoft 365 and Dropbox all raise prices quietly. PriceCreep reads their official public pricing pages, remembers every plan's price, and tells you exactly what moved since the last run. $0.001 per plan, $0.005 per detected change. A full sweep of 44 services costs about a dime.

• Official sources only: every row links to the pricing page it came from. No bank connections, no logins, no third-party price lists.
• Old vs new, in one row: plan, old price, new price, % change, source URL, checked-at.
• Never invents a price: each service has hand-written selectors and regexes, plus a strict generic fallback. If a page can't be parsed it's marked unparsed and you aren't charged for it.
• Remembers for you: snapshots live in a named key-value store, so scheduled runs diff automatically.
• Schedule it: run daily or weekly with onlyChanges: true and you only see (and only pay row fees for) hikes.

Some sites block datacenter traffic or render prices with JavaScript. PriceCreep tries plain HTTP first, then a headless browser. Blocked ones show up as unparsed, free.

Quick start

{ "services": ["netflix", "spotify", "chatgpt"], "onlyChanges": false }

Field	Default	What it does
services	all	ids or names to check
onlyChanges	false	only output rows whose price moved
useBrowser	true	headless browser fallback for JS/blocked pages
snapshotStore	krakt-pricecreep-snapshots	named KV store holding the previous prices

Output

{
  "service": "Netflix", "plan": "Standard", "period": "month",
  "oldPrice": 17.99, "newPrice": 19.99, "changePct": 11.12, "status": "increase",
  "sourceUrl": "https://help.netflix.com/en/node/24926", "checkedAt": "2026-10-16T04:40:00Z"
}

status is new (first time seen), unchanged, increase, decrease, unconfirmed (a re-check disagreed, e.g. an A/B-tested promo; not charged as a change) or unparsed. Every change is confirmed with a second fetch before it is reported. The first run seeds the snapshot, so changes appear from the second run on.

Pricing

Event	Price
Plan price row	$0.001
Price change detected	$0.005
Unparsed service	free

Limits

US list prices as shown to a logged-out visitor. Promo/intro offers are skipped where the page separates them, but some plans (e.g. "from" prices, per-seat business tiers, VPN annual renewals) are labeled as shown. Taxes aren't included. If a site redesigns, its plans go unparsed until the rules are updated; PriceCreep never fills the gap with a guess.
