Spy on competitor stores
and optimise your pricing
ApifyForge helps online sellers and DTC brands analyse competitor stores by combining Shopify intelligence, marketplace price monitoring, and tech stack detection actors. Best for tracking 10-100 competitor stores with daily price checks. Less suitable for full marketplace analytics like Jungle Scout or Helium 10. Costs $0.05-$0.15 per product.
The problem
Online sellers operate blind to competitor activity. Manually checking rival stores for price changes, new products, and promotions takes hours and misses most changes. Dedicated tools charge $200-1,000/month.
The solution
Apify actors scrape any ecommerce site. Shopify Store Intelligence analyses stores in depth. The price monitor tracks prices over time. Website Tech Stack Detector reveals competitor platforms. Schedule daily runs to never miss a pricing change.
How it works
List competitor stores
Identify your top 10-20 competitors and their product page URLs.
Run store analysis
Use Shopify Store Intelligence for Shopify competitors, or the general-purpose scraper for other platforms.
Monitor prices daily
Schedule the price monitor to check key competitor products daily. Get alerts when prices drop.
Analyse and adapt
Export pricing data to spreadsheets. Identify pricing patterns to time your own promotions.
