Visualping or an Apify Actor? Watching pages for changes vs exporting every competitor price
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: Visualping monitors web pages for visual and text changes and tells you what changed, with an AI summary and an important-or-not flag on every change. Its pricing page (checked 25 Oct 2026) shows Free with 5 pages and 150 checks a month (hourly at most), Personal 1K $14 a month or $120 a year (10 pages), Personal 5K $35 or $300 a year (20 pages), Personal 10K $70 or $600 a year (40 pages), and Business plans from $140 a month or $1,200 a year (200 pages, 5 users, Slack, Teams and Google Sheets). Our Shopify & WooCommerce Product + Price Tracker on Apify does not watch pages; it reads each shop's public catalogue and returns one row per product, with variants, price, compare-at price and stock in one file. It is free during launch; you pay only Apify platform usage. If you want alerts and AI summaries for a set of pages on any website, pick Visualping. If you want a full price table for whole Shopify or WooCommerce shops, try ours.
The pain this page is about
“I set up alerts on ten competitor product pages, and now I get emails I don't read. What I need is their full price list, every week, in one sheet.” Page monitoring is about noticing a change. Price research is about seeing all the prices at once.

Who should pick Visualping instead
- You watch specific pages on any kind of website (regulator notices, tender pages, a price list) and want to know when they change.
- You want AI summaries of each change and alerts in Slack, Teams or Telegram.
- The pages need a login or clicks before the content shows.
Who our Actor fits better
- You want a complete product and price list for each competitor shop, not one alert per page.
- Your competitors run Shopify or WooCommerce, and you want variants, compare-at prices and stock flags.
- You want to sort and chart the data yourself in a spreadsheet.

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.
