SaaS Pricing Monitor

Know the day a competitor changes their pricing. Point this actor at any set of pricing pages and it extracts each page's plans as structured data: plan name, price, billing period, per-user or flat, feature bullets and the call to action. Run it on a schedule and it alerts you only when something actually changed: a price moved, a plan appeared or disappeared, a feature was added to a tier. Competitive intel tools charge hundreds to thousands per month for this; here you pay cents per page.

No browser to babysit, no API key, nothing to install on your site.

Who uses this

• Product marketing and competitive intel teams keeping battlecards current without re-reading competitor sites every week.
• Founders and product managers watching how rivals reprice, repackage and gate features.
• Sales teams who want to hear about a competitor's price increase before their prospects do.
• Analysts and journalists tracking pricing moves across a market segment.

What you get

A snapshot record per page (first run, or every run outside monitor mode):

Field	Description
company	Company the page belongs to
plans	Extracted plan cards: name, price, amount, currency, currencyCode (ISO code like USD or EUR when the page states it, null for a bare $), unit, perUser, features, cta
priceTokens	Every normalized price found on the page
parseStatus	plans (structured extraction worked), tokens (prices found without card structure) or unparseable
url, pageTitle, fetchedAt	Where and when

And in monitor mode, a change record per detected difference:

Field	Description
changeType	price-changed, plan-added, plan-removed, features-changed, prices-changed or content-changed
plan	Which plan changed
before / after	The old and new price
featuresAdded / featuresRemoved	Feature bullets that changed
summary	One human-readable line, e.g. Zapier: "Team" price $59/mo -> $69/mo

Input examples

A one-off structured capture of three competitors:

{
  "urls": [
    "https://zapier.com/pricing",
    "https://linear.app/pricing",
    "https://slack.com/pricing"
  ]
}

A daily watch that posts changes to Slack:

{
  "urls": ["https://competitor.com/pricing"],
  "monitorMode": true,
  "webhookUrl": "https://hooks.slack.com/services/XXX/YYY/ZZZ"
}

How monitor mode works

Turn on monitorMode and schedule the actor (daily is typical, as a Task so it keeps its own memory). The first run stores a baseline snapshot of each page. Every run after that compares against the stored state and returns, and charges for, only what changed, posting a digest to your webhook if you set one. A page that did not change costs you nothing beyond the run itself.

How the extraction works

The actor reads the page over plain HTTP and looks for the pricing-card structure nearly every SaaS pricing page uses: a row of plans, each with a name, a price and a feature list. It understands US and European price formats, monthly and annual periods, per-user pricing, and Free and "contact sales" tiers. When a page does not expose that structure, it falls back to comparing the set of prices found anywhere on the page, and as a last resort the page's visible text, so a change is still caught even when structured extraction is not possible.

Pricing

Pay per event, no subscription. Users on higher Apify plans get automatic discounts.

Event	Price	When
Run started	$0.005	Flat, once per run
Page snapshot	$0.01	Per pricing page captured and parsed this run
Change found	$0.02	Per detected change (price, plan added or removed, features)
Digest sent	$0.03	Monitor mode only, per Slack/webhook digest actually posted

Watching 10 competitor pricing pages daily costs about $3 a month, platform usage included, and changes are only billed when something actually changed.

FAQ

Does it work on any pricing page? It works best on standard SaaS pricing pages, which is most of them. Pages that render entirely in the browser with no prices in the HTML are marked unparseable and monitored by text comparison instead of plan structure.

Will I get noise from A/B tests and copy tweaks? Plan and price diffs only fire on actual plan or price differences. Feature-list alerts can be switched off with trackFeatures: false if a competitor edits bullets often.

Do I need an API key or a browser? No. Nothing to set up.

How many pages can I watch? Up to 60 per run. Run several schedules if you need more.

What currencies are supported? Prices in dollars, euros and pounds, including European decimal formats like 19,90 €.
