🚀 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.

✅ Scrapes publicly available pricing pages (legally).

✅ Stores historical data to track trends.

✅ 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? 🤔

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.
