Competitor price monitoring for small shops

You run a small shop. A competitor lowers a price, and you find out a week later, when a customer mentions it. By then you have lost sales. Checking rival sites by hand takes time you don't have.

WatchForMe does the checking for you. Type what you want in plain English and paste the product link. Your request becomes a watch automatically. When the price drops, or falls to a number you pick, you get an email right away. There is no browser extension, no app, and no account. A free check confirms your link works before you pay.

How to set it up

Write what you want to know, like "Tell me when this competitor product drops in price," and paste the product link.
Run the free check to confirm WatchForMe can read that page, then pick a plan if it can.
Wait for the email, which arrives the moment the price drops or hits your target.

Things you can type

“Tell me when this competitor product drops in price: [paste the link]”

“Email me if the price of this product goes to $40 or less: [paste the link]”

“Tell me when the phrase "free shipping" appears on this page: [paste link to competitor's page]”

“Alert me to new news articles about [competitor brand name]”

Tips and limits

Watch the pages that matter most: your top sellers and the products you compete on directly. The $5 plan covers 3 watches, and the $12 plan covers 10.
Use a target price when you already know your limit. "At or below $40" means you only get an email when it matters to you.
Add a phrase watch on a competitor's sale page. It can tell you when words like "sale" or "clearance" appear or disappear on a public page.
Know the limits. A watch follows the whole product page, so it can't track one size or color. It also can't see anything behind a login. Some stores limit automated checks at times, so always use the free check first.

Questions

Will I get an email if a competitor raises a price?

WatchForMe watches for price drops and for a price at or below a target you set. It is built for drops, not increases.

Which competitor sites does it work with?

It works with many brand stores that publish product data, including Nike.com, Apple.com store, and IKEA.com. Some stores, including some Shopify shops, limit automated checks at times. Paste your link into the free check to see if yours works.

Can I watch a competitor on Amazon, Walmart, or Target?

No. Amazon is not supported because free Amazon-only trackers already cover it. Walmart and Target prices are not supported either. WatchForMe is for brand stores and public pages those tools can't see.

How often is the page checked, and what does it cost?

It's a one-time payment with no subscription. $3 gives you 1 watch for 30 days, checked every 60 minutes. $5 gives you 3 watches checked every 30 minutes. $12 gives you 10 watches checked every 15 minutes. Prices include tax.

What if it doesn't work for my competitor's page?

Ask for a refund within 7 days. Each watch also has a private link where you can see it or stop it at any time.
