Works best after

SaaS Pricing Page Monitor & Competitor Price Change Alerts is easiest to buy after one of these related Actors has already produced public rows or source context:

• Shopify Store Intelligence - use its public rows or source context as the starting input.
• Website Content Extractor - use its public rows or source context as the starting input.

Start with $3 / pricing_snapshot_report; upgrade to $15 / competitor_pricing_report only when the first report needs deeper action detail. Internal links improve discovery only. Qualified forecast still requires accounted paid usage.

Proof-focused buyer summary

Built for SaaS founders, product marketers, and pricing teams who need to decide whether a public competitor pricing page changed in a way that affects packaging or sales messaging.

• Buy this when: Cheaper than manual weekly competitor pricing review, but still action-oriented.
• Entry: $3 / pricing_snapshot_report - $3 captures a public pricing snapshot and change checklist.
• Premium: $15 / competitor_pricing_report - $15 compares competitors and turns changes into pricing-response actions.
• Output promise: decision summary, score, three prioritized actions, source URLs, warnings, chargedEvent, chargedUsd, and previewReport.nextRunInput.
• Safety: keep maxChargeUsd equal to the tier price. Demo, dry run, blocked/private sources, failed sources, and cap-limited runs are no-charge.
• Not promised: rankings, revenue, conversion lift, sales lift, legal/procurement/financial advice, or private-source enrichment.

Monitor public SaaS pricing pages and produce competitor pricing snapshots, comparison reports, or weekly watch summaries with predictable capped PPE billing.

First-run quality and billing cue

Start with demoMode or dryRun when you only want to inspect the output shape. For paid runs, use the entry report first, set maxChargeUsd as a hard cap, and move to premium only when you need comparison, recommendations, or a decision-ready action list. Pricing is controlled by the Apify Store listing, and maxChargeUsd should match the tier the buyer expects to run.

First run

Use the public pricing page input, choose reportTier, and set maxChargeUsd as a safety cap. Demo mode and dry run are always no-charge.

Basic input: pricingPageUrls

No-charge boundaries: Only public pricing pages are handled. Login-only, paywalled, checkout, and customer portal URLs are blocked with no charge.

Pricing ladder

Tier	Planned price	PPE event	Output value
entry	$3	pricing_snapshot_report	Single public pricing snapshot with plans, price mentions, and pricing-page signals
premium	$15	competitor_pricing_report	Competitor pricing comparison report with change signals and positioning notes

Public launch exposes entry and premium so buyers can choose between a quick first report and a deeper comparison.

Output

Every dataset row includes status, chargedEvent, reason, sourceUrls, and errors. Blocked, invalid, partial, low-confidence, demo, dry-run, and limit-reached rows are no-charge with chargedEvent: null.
