Price Tracking

# Price Tracking Learn how MarketPulse monitors competitor pricing and detects changes. ## How Price Tracking Works MarketPulse automatically scans competitor websites at scheduled intervals to detect pricing changes. Our system: 1. **Crawls competitor pages** based on your monitoring schedule 2. **Extracts pricing data** using advanced parsing algorithms 3. **Compares prices** with previous snapshots 4. **Alerts you** when significant changes occur ## Monitoring Frequency You can choose how often we check competitor prices: - **Daily** (Starter plan) - **Hourly** (Professional plan) - **Real-time** (Enterprise plan) ## Price Change Thresholds Set custom thresholds to avoid noise: - Percentage changes (e.g., alert on 5%+ changes) - Absolute changes (e.g., alert on $10+ changes) ## Viewing Price History Access historical price data: 1. Go to Competitors 2. Select a competitor 3. View the Price History tab ## Troubleshooting If price tracking isn't working: - Check the competitor URL - Ensure the page is publicly accessible - Contact support for help Need help?
