Amazon Competitor Monitor – Price and Rating Compare

Compare public Amazon product pages in one run. The Actor returns a ranked dataset with price, rating, review count, availability, the portfolio median, and each product’s percentage gap from that median—without requiring an Amazon API key.

Run a verified example

Compare two Amazon product prices opens a ready-to-run public task with a small input and expected comparison output.

What you can do

• Benchmark competing products before repricing or launching a listing.
• Track a small competitor set on a schedule.
• Rank products by current price and spot outliers against the median.
• Export JSON, CSV, or Excel and connect results through the Apify API or webhooks.

Start quickly

Use two or more public Amazon product detail URLs. The built-in example is verified in the cloud and deliberately keeps the result cap small.

{
  "productUrls": [
    "https://www.amazon.com/dp/0132350882",
    "https://www.amazon.com/dp/0135957052"
  ],
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  },
  "maxItems": 10
}

1. Paste product detail URLs into productUrls.
2. Keep useApifyProxy off for a low-cost first run; enable it if Amazon blocks your region or volume.
3. Set maxItems to a predictable hard cap.
4. Run once, inspect the comparison table, then schedule only if the output meets your use case.

Use it as an MCP tool

Connect this Actor to ChatGPT, Codex, Claude, Cursor, or another MCP client through Apify’s hosted MCP server:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "signal-lab-amazon-competitor": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=signal_lab/amazon-competitor-monitor"
    }
  }
}

Apify opens its OAuth flow on first connection, so no API token needs to be pasted into the configuration. Ask the client for a bounded comparison, for example: “Compare these three Amazon product URLs by price, rating, reviews, availability, and distance from the portfolio median.”

Output

Every paid result is one successfully parsed product with ASIN, title, price, currency, price rank, portfolio median, percentage difference from the median, rating, review count, availability, source URL, and scrape timestamp. Pages that cannot be parsed are recorded as partial failures and do not create paid result rows.

Troubleshooting

• Missing product: confirm the URL is a public /dp/ASIN page.
• Blocked page: retry with Apify Proxy enabled; proxy usage is billed separately by Apify.
• Price is absent: Amazon may be showing a regional, coupon-only, or unavailable offer.
• Need historical change detection: use Amazon Price Tracker.

Pricing and responsible use

Launch pricing is $3.00 per 1,000 successful product rows plus the small start event shown in the Pricing tab. You pay for rows actually produced. Amazon, proxy, and platform usage policies still apply; use public data responsibly.
