πŸš€ Building a SaaS Pricing Tracker – Need Your Thoughts!

So, I’m working on a simple tool that tracks competitor SaaS pricing changes and sends alerts when they tweak their plans. No more manually checking 10 different pricing pages.


βœ… Scrapes publicly available pricing pages (legally).

βœ… Stores historical data to track trends.

βœ… Sends alerts via email when a price changes.


Thinking of making it a small indie SaaS with a free plan for tracking 1 competitor and paid tiers for more.


Would this be useful for anyone running a SaaS? πŸ€”


Or it's my another failed SAAS idea??😁😜

I have a competitor, but honestly I never check his pricing. Because I have set my price and holding it until I think I need to change it.

But when that time comes I will surely check the pricing of other competitors.

Maybe I am not that person who has a pain point with competitors price.

Recently I have starting to promote service and I did not know how to do it.
Then I have checked my competitors how they are doing and copied some of the solutions.

I hope my comment helps you in some way to improve the service.

Agreed. I think this product would apply best in sectors where lots of similar products compete on price

I almost built it in 3-4 hours, just email integration was pending upon pricing change. Now after franc's comment, Deleted the folder.😁😁😁

It sounds like that would be something really handy for existing business with competitors. Sounds like a good idea to me. I would try to validate the product by contacting actual businesses and asking them

I don't know much about web scrapers but I know there are a lot of AI based tools right now. If you google "AI based web scraper" you'll find some good ones I think.
