About the project

The ghost that
watches your
rivals sleep.

PriceGhost monitors any competitor pricing page and alerts you the moment something changes — price hike, dropped free tier, new plan. You find out in minutes, not weeks. Built for the people enterprise tools have always ignored: indie founders, small teams, solo operators who can't justify $10K a year just to stay informed.

2–4 hrs Saved per week vs. manual checking
< 5 min Time to detect a pricing change
98% Cheaper than enterprise tools
Any site No selectors, no custom parsers
"My competitor dropped prices 30% and I found out three weeks later — after losing 5 deals."
01
Point it at any URL.
Add a competitor's pricing page. No setup, no CSS selectors, no brittle scrapers that break on every redesign. PriceGhost handles any website, any layout — static pages, JS-heavy apps, Cloudflare-protected sites. Just the URL.
02
AI extracts the intel.
An AI model reads the page the way a human would — understanding plan names, prices, billing models, free tier limits, trial offers. Structured, consistent output every time. Works on launch day and still works after a complete redesign.
03
You get alerted first.
The moment a change is detected — a price increase, a removed free plan, a new tier — PriceGhost fires an alert to your inbox, Slack, or webhook. Severity scored from low to critical. You know before your customers do.
Founder Story
Why this exists
Every Monday morning. Eight websites. A spreadsheet. There had to be a better way.

I was manually checking competitor pricing pages every Monday morning. Eight different websites, opening each one, comparing prices to notes from the week before. It took over an hour. Every single week.

One Monday I skipped it. Then another. Three weeks later I found out a competitor had dropped their price by 30%. I'd lost multiple deals in that window and didn't even know why prospects were pushing back.

I went looking for a tool. Kompyte, Klue, Crayon — they all start at $10,000 a year, require a sales call, and are built for 50-person marketing teams. There's literally nothing built for a solo founder watching five competitors.

So I built PriceGhost. An API that does one thing: monitors pricing pages and tells you the second something changes. AI-powered so it works on any website. Affordable enough that a solo dev can justify it on day one. Building it in public — breakeven is a single customer.

Who It's For
If you're one of these people — this was built for you
SaaS Founders
You have 5–10 direct competitors and you need to know the moment any of them changes their pricing. A competitor dropping prices or killing their free tier is a sales opportunity — if you find out in time.
Product Managers
Pricing changes from competitors directly affect your roadmap, your positioning, and your next planning cycle. Stop finding out in retrospective postmortems. Get the signal when it happens, not weeks later.
Sales & Marketing Teams
Your battle cards go stale the moment a competitor reprices. PriceGhost keeps your competitive intelligence fresh automatically — so your team always shows up to the conversation with current data.
Agencies & Consultants
Offer competitive monitoring as a service to your clients. The white-label API tier lets you wrap PriceGhost under your own brand. One integration, multiple clients, recurring revenue.
The Cost of Not Knowing
What blind spots actually cost you
3 wks
Average detection delay
The typical SaaS founder finds out about a competitor pricing change 3 weeks after it happens. Three weeks of wrong positioning, lost deals, and missed opportunities to capitalise on backlash.
2–4 hrs
Wasted every single week
Manual competitor checks consume 2–4 hours of founder time per week. That's up to 200 hours a year spent opening tabs and updating spreadsheets instead of building your product.
$10K+
The enterprise tax
Every existing solution starts at $10,000/year and requires sales calls. They're built for teams of 50. The indie founder tracking 5 competitors has been completely ignored. Until now.

I manually check 8 competitor websites every Monday morning. There has to be a better way.
— Founder, Dev Tooling
They removed their free tier overnight and we missed the window to capitalize on the backlash.
