In simple English
Keeping an eye on competitor pricing and web page changes usually requires expensive subscriptions. This open-source tool lets you track competitor websites, mentions, and search rankings yourself. It connects to an external data API to read pages and check for changes. Every single check shows its exact price before it runs, so you never get surprise bills. You can set strict daily and monthly spending limits to keep costs completely under control.
What it is
A Next.js web application and command-line tool that monitors web pages, mentions, and search results. It uses Supabase for user authentication and data storage.
What it is good for
Founders and solo builders who want to track competitor pricing and brand mentions without paying for commercial monitoring services.
- Shows the exact cost of every check before it runs, preventing unexpected expenses.
- Includes spending caps that automatically stop checks when you reach your monthly budget.
- Provides a built-in demo mode that lets you test all features without an account or database.
- Requires an external account and prepaid balance on looot to fetch live data from the web.
- Setting up the web application requires configuring a Supabase project and environment variables.
- Most data sources use unverified parsers that might need minor fixes on your first real run.
