Competitor Price Monitoring Service for Ecommerce
We collect your competitors' prices, discounts and stock from any website and deliver them as a ready data feed: Excel, CSV, JSON, XML, an API or straight into your database. You tell us which competitors and products to watch; we build, run and maintain the scrapers, so you only work with the data.
MyDataProvider has built price monitoring and scraping software since 2009. All our software is our own, and every project is configured for the client's exact competitors and fields.
When a Price Monitoring Service Beats a SaaS Tool
Ready-made tools such as Prisync or Price2Spy work well when your competitors are big, well-known retailers. Our comparison of 23 price monitoring tools shows the best options for that case. A managed service is the better choice when:
- Your competitors are not covered. Local shops, niche stores, B2B portals and marketplaces with many sellers are often missing in SaaS tools.
- Sites are protected or complex. JavaScript-heavy pages, anti-bot systems, prices behind a login or prices that depend on the region or ZIP code.
- You need custom fields. Shipping cost, price per unit, promotions, stock levels, seller name, delivery time or landed cost between countries.
- The data must go into your systems. Your own BI, ERP, repricing tool or database, not another dashboard.
- You have no developers to maintain scrapers. Websites change; we fix the scrapers so your feed keeps working.
What We Monitor
- Current price, old price, discount and promotion labels
- Stock status and availability, including per store or region where shown
- Shipping and delivery cost, including cross-border delivery calculations
- Marketplace offers: seller, price and conditions for every offer of a product
- Product identifiers for matching: SKU, EAN/UPC, MPN, brand and model
- Price changes over time: price drops, rises, new and removed products
Sample Reports
Every feed can include a price change report and a price history view. Below are examples of the files our clients receive.
How It Works
- Send your list. Competitor websites, product URLs or categories, the fields you need and how often prices should be updated.
- We agree the specification. We confirm sources, fields, matching rules, schedule and delivery format in a short technical specification.
- Sample delivery. You receive a sample file to check the data before the regular feed starts.
- Regular feed. Prices are collected on schedule (daily, several times a day or near real time) and delivered by file, API, email report or database.
- Maintenance. When a competitor's website changes, we update the scraper. A dedicated manager handles your feedback.
Delivery Options
- Files: MS Excel, CSV, JSON, XML
- API access for your own applications and repricing tools
- Direct export to MySQL, PostgreSQL or MS SQL
- Email reports with price change alerts
Data Quality
Wrong prices are worse than no prices. Our price validation functions, refined since 2009, normalize formats, detect currencies, filter duplicates and flag anomalies such as a sudden 90% drop, so a parsing error does not trigger a wrong pricing decision.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often can prices be updated?
Price update frequency depends on your needs. We support daily, hourly, or near-real-time monitoring schedules. A scheduler automatically triggers price extraction at your chosen intervals and delivers fresh data via file, API, or email report.
Can you monitor prices from multiple countries and regions?
Yes. We use multi-region proxy infrastructure to collect prices as seen from different geographic locations. This allows accurate regional price comparisons and helps businesses operating in multiple markets.
Is it possible to scrape prices behind a login page?
Yes. If you have an active account on the target website, we can configure the scraper to authenticate and extract pricing data from behind the login. Standard terms of service and additional usage terms may apply.
Can you calculate delivery costs between countries?
Yes. We can include shipping and delivery cost calculations as part of the price monitoring service, giving you a complete picture of landed costs for cross-border comparison.
What data export formats are available for price monitoring?
We deliver price data in MS Excel, CSV, JSON, and XML formats. We can also export data via API or directly into your database (MySQL, PostgreSQL, MS SQL). Email reports with price change alerts are available as well.
How is this different from price monitoring software like Prisync or Price2Spy?
Those tools are self-service dashboards for popular retailers. We deliver a managed data feed from any website, including local shops, marketplaces and protected sites, with custom fields and delivery into your own systems.
How does MyDataProvider ensure price data accuracy?
We have developed proprietary price validation functions refined since 2009. These include format normalization, currency detection, duplicate filtering, and anomaly checks to ensure your data is reliable and actionable.
