What it does

Watches your competitors' public pricing pages and tells you the moment one of them changes a price, renames a tier, or moves a feature behind a higher plan. No more manually re-checking five pricing pages every Monday.

When to use it

Run this when pricing intelligence matters to your sales and product teams and you need to react fast — a competitor's price cut or new enterprise tier is something you want to know about within hours, not at the next quarterly review.

How it works

  1. 1A daily schedule fires the workflow against your tracked list of competitor pricing URLs.
  2. 2Firecrawl scrapes each page and extracts the pricing section as clean markdown, stripping nav and footer noise.
  3. 3The new capture is compared against the previous snapshot stored in Coda; a text diff isolates added, removed, and changed lines.
  4. 4A logic step checks whether the diff is meaningful (price/tier/limit changes) versus cosmetic copy edits, and drops the empty or trivial ones.
  5. 5Meaningful diffs are written back to Coda as the new baseline and logged with a timestamp.
  6. 6A formatted Slack message goes to your competitive-intel channel showing exactly what changed, per competitor.
