What it does

Keeps a running snapshot of every competitor's pricing page and tells you the moment one of them changes a price, renames a tier, or adds a plan — without the daily manual check.

When to use it

Use this when you have 5-30 competitors whose pricing pages you need to monitor, and you only want to hear about it when something genuinely moves. Ideal for product marketing and competitive intelligence teams.

How it works

  1. 1A daily schedule fires the run.
  2. 2Firecrawl scrapes each competitor pricing URL from an Airtable list and returns clean structured text.
  3. 3The flow looks up the previously stored snapshot for each URL in Airtable and computes a content diff.
  4. 4A logic step filters out cosmetic changes (whitespace, tracking params) and keeps only real pricing/tier/plan deltas.
  5. 5Changed snapshots are written back to Airtable so the next run compares against fresh state.
  6. 6A Slack message goes to your #competitive channel with the competitor name, the before/after, and a link to the page.
