What it does

Builds a clean, queryable history of competitor prices over time. Every day it scrapes pricing, normalizes it into rows, and appends to BigQuery so analysts can chart trends and run cohort comparisons.

When to use it

Use this when you need pricing as data, not just alerts — for example to model competitor discounting patterns, feed a pricing dashboard, or join against your own win/loss data.

How it works

  1. 1A daily schedule fires the run.
  2. 2Firecrawl scrapes each competitor pricing page listed in the config.
  3. 3OpenAI parses each page into a normalized row set: plan name, monthly price, annual price, seat limits, and capture date.
  4. 4A logic step validates that prices are numeric and the schema matches before any load.
  5. 5Valid rows are appended to a partitioned BigQuery pricing table.
  6. 6A confirmation with row counts and any parse failures is posted to Slack so data quality stays visible.
