Competitor App Store Rating & Review Shift Monitor
Pulls competitor app store ratings and recent reviews daily, detects sudden rating drops or review-volume spikes, and pages the on-call PM when a competitor stumbles.

What it does
Watches your competitors' app store ratings and review activity for sharp movements — a rating drop, a surge of negative reviews — and alerts you fast so you can capitalize or prepare a response.
When to use it
Use this when competitor product sentiment is a leading indicator for your sales and marketing motion, and you want to react within hours of a competitor's bad release rather than weeks later.
How it works
- 1A daily schedule triggers the run.
- 2Apify scrapes each competitor app's current rating, review count, and latest reviews from the app stores.
- 3Results are compared against yesterday's stored values in Airtable to compute rating delta and review-volume change.
- 4A logic step flags only meaningful shifts — for example a rating drop beyond a threshold or a negative-review spike.
- 5Flagged events trigger a PagerDuty alert to the on-call competitive analyst.
- 6Today's metrics are saved to Airtable as the new baseline for tomorrow.
