Question 1

What is competitor price monitoring?

Accepted Answer

Competitor price monitoring is the practice of collecting repeated price and availability observations for the same or comparable products. It is used to detect undercuts, benchmark observed assortments, and review price changes across the channels you track. Extralt provides the ecommerce data layer for those workflows.

Question 2

Does Extralt automatically change my prices?

Accepted Answer

No. Extralt collects product data and helps you compare prices and availability. Your team makes pricing decisions and builds any repricing or alerting workflow in its own systems.

Question 3

How often does Extralt refresh prices?

Accepted Answer

Run extraction on demand or set an hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly schedule. Each observation keeps its collection time, so you can judge freshness before using a comparison.

Question 4

Can I monitor prices on Amazon and other marketplaces?

Accepted Answer

Extralt is built for public retailer and marketplace pages. Each website needs to be validated; support depends on the pages and access constraints. Try the stores you need during your trial.

Question 5

Do I need to maintain scrapers?

Accepted Answer

No. Extralt generates, validates, and operates custom crawlers for each website, then monitors extraction quality across repeated runs. Your team works with the resulting product and offer data instead of maintaining selectors or crawler code.
