Competitor price tracking that lands where you actually price.

Price monitoring software collects competitor prices from marketplaces, DTC sites, and price aggregators on a schedule, maps those competitor products to your own SKUs, and reports where your prices sit against the market. Retailgrid does that and then feeds the result into the rules and agents that set your prices, so the data has somewhere to go.

In practice vendors use the two words for the same job, and most buyers search for both. Where a distinction is drawn, tracking usually means following a defined set of competitor SKUs over time, while monitoring implies the wider job of watching a market including assortment, stock, and promotions. Retailgrid does both in one workspace, so you are not choosing between a competitor price tracking tool and a monitoring platform.

A standalone tool ends at the dashboard - you export a report, open a spreadsheet, and decide what to do. In Retailgrid the competitor data lands in the same grid where your pricing rules live, so a competitor move can trigger a rule, produce a price proposal, and route to approval without a CSV in between. You get the monitoring layer and the pricing workspace from one vendor.

Three things separate the field once you are past a few thousand SKUs. First, matching: ask whether auto-matching is included or sold as an add-on module, and what happens to products without GTINs. Second, what the data connects to: the best competitor price tracking software feeds a rules engine rather than ending at an alert. Third, pricing shape: check whether repricing, API access, and matching are bundled or billed separately, because that is where quoted entry prices and real annual cost diverge.

Price intelligence is the broader term - it covers the analysis layer on top of raw collected prices: position indices, promo intensity, elasticity signals, and assortment gaps. Retailgrid includes that layer, so teams evaluating online price intelligence software and teams evaluating a monitoring tool generally land on the same product here. The competitor price intelligence views sit in the same grid as the underlying data.

Standard refresh is every 4 hours, with faster cadence available on critical SKUs. Every snapshot is timestamped and stored, so you can pull a 90-day price history for any SKU-competitor pair or push the underlying data to your own warehouse.

Three kinds of source run in parallel: our own web crawlers for DTC competitor sites and category portals, marketplace APIs including Amazon SP-API, eBay, bol., ManoMano and eMag, and public data partners including PriceRunner, Idealo and Google Shopping. You can also name specific competitor URLs you want tracked.

Automatically. Matching is GTIN-first where barcodes exist, and falls back to attribute matching on brand, model, and variant for catalogs without them. Every match carries a confidence score, and only the low-confidence edge cases route to a one-click manual review queue. Matching is included, not a paid add-on module.

No. Most retailers running structured pricing pay three vendors - a monitoring tool, a rules engine, and a BI dashboard. Retailgrid covers all three. If you already have a monitoring contract you want to run out, Retailgrid can ingest competitor price feeds by CSV or API in the meantime.
