Competitor monitoring
Competitor monitoring that tells you what changed and why it matters
Get a brief when a competitor changes pricing, features, or messaging, with the change explained, not just a raw alert.
Competitor monitoring is the practice of watching your competitors so you catch important moves as they happen. Competely monitors the competitors in your projects on a schedule and emails you a brief when something meaningful changes (a pricing change, a new feature, a messaging shift), with the change summarized and explained rather than handed to you as a raw page diff. Monitoring is included on every paid plan, alongside the structured analysis, from $39/mo, self-serve.

Monitoring that interprets, not just alerts
Plenty of tools can tell you a web page changed. The harder and more useful job is telling you what the change means. Competely watches your competitors and delivers briefs that summarize what changed and why it matters, so you are not left reading raw diffs and guessing at the implication.
A brief does not just say a page changed. It tells you what moved, a price, a feature, a message, and why it matters, so you can act on it instead of digging through diffs yourself.
- Email briefs when a competitor changes pricing, ships a feature, or shifts messaging.
- Changes summarized and explained, not delivered as raw page diffs.
- Send briefs to teammates, execs, or clients (up to your plan limit).
- Included on every paid plan, alongside the analysis.
How monitoring fits with the analysis
Monitoring and the analysis solve different halves of the same problem. The analysis gives you the structured, sourced picture of each competitor at a point in time; monitoring watches for changes after that and emails you a brief when something moves. Competely includes both on every paid plan, so you are not paying for monitoring as a separate module.

Frequently asked questions
- What is competitor monitoring?
- Competitor monitoring is watching your competitors so you catch important moves (pricing changes, new features, messaging shifts) as they happen. Competely monitors the competitors in your projects on a schedule and emails you a brief explaining what changed and why it matters.
- How is Competely monitoring different from a website change monitor?
- A website change monitor tells you a page changed and sends a diff. Competely reads the change and tells you what moved and why it matters, in plain language, instead of leaving you to interpret a raw diff yourself.
- Is monitoring included or an add-on?
- Monitoring is included on every paid Competely plan, alongside the structured analysis. It is not a separate module or tier.
- How often are briefs delivered?
- Brief frequency depends on your plan (for example every two weeks on Starter and weekly on higher plans). You can also send briefs to teammates, execs, or clients up to your plan limit.
- Why not just schedule a deep-research prompt to watch competitors?
- You can, but scheduling in general AI tools re-runs a free-text prompt, so the output drifts and there is no fixed structure to compare against last week. Competely watches a defined competitor set against the same schema every run and emails a brief only when something meaningful changes.
