Koala Inspector or an Apify Actor? Getting a competitor's Shopify products and prices into a sheet
Partner programme opening soon: join the free waitlist. Planned terms are 50% of each referred sale (75% once you have 5+ paying customers), single level, paid through Gumroad only from revenue received.
Short answer: Koala Inspector is a Chrome extension for researching Shopify stores: open a shop and it shows best sellers, installed apps, the theme, and estimated sales and traffic, with CSV or Excel export. Its pricing page (checked 24 Oct 2026) shows a Free plan with 15 tokens a month and Premium at $22 a month with 220 tokens, tracking for up to 50 shops and priority support; token packs cost $3.99 for 10, $6.99 for 25 and $11.99 for 100. Shop tracking costs 15 tokens per shop per month and a CSV export 1 token. Our Shopify & WooCommerce Product + Price Tracker on Apify does one narrower job: it reads the public product catalogue of Shopify and WooCommerce shops you list and returns every product and variant with price, compare-at price and stock flag, on a schedule if you want. It is free during launch; you pay only Apify platform usage. If you want spy-style research (apps, ads, traffic), use Koala. If you want clean, repeatable price data across many shops, including WooCommerce, try ours.
The pain this page is about
“Every Monday I open five competitor shops and copy their prices into a sheet.” A browser extension helps while you are looking at a shop. A scheduled Actor does the same reading without you, across many shops, and gives you one file to compare week by week.

Who should pick Koala Inspector instead
- You are a dropshipper or product researcher who wants to see a shop's apps, theme, ads and estimated traffic while browsing.
- You look at a few shops by hand and like a point-and-click panel more than a data file.
- You want supplier search and trend views in the same tool.
Who our Actor fits better
- You want exact published prices and stock flags for every variant, across many shops, in one file.
- Some of your competitors run WooCommerce, not Shopify.
- You want a weekly run that happens without you opening a browser.
Try it on three shops first
Actor fee: free during launch · you pay only Apify platform usage
The Shopify & WooCommerce Product + Price Tracker is a pay-per-usage Actor on Apify: you pay only for the platform resources the run uses, with no extra developer charge (Apify docs). Apify's free plan is $0 and includes $5 of platform usage a month, no credit card (apify.com/pricing). Listing pages are free in the Actor's own design, and shops that are skipped or return nothing cost nothing. We do not quote a cost per 1,000 products; run a small test and read the usage in your Apify billing page. Built and published by Unadhi (disclosure).
Free gift: copy-paste input for a three-shop price check
Read the SHOPS_SUMMARY record after the run: it tells you which shops were skipped and why. No code at all? You can also read one Shopify shop's public catalogue in your browser at /products.json for free: see how to export a Shopify or WooCommerce product list to CSV and build a competitor price sheet.

Not legal advice. Public product and price data is generally fine to read for your own comparison; respect each shop's terms and do not republish their content. Competitor prices and plans change; re-check their pricing pages before you decide. Spotted an error about any product on this page, including ours? Write to mininglife7@gmail.com and we correct it.
