PricemancerAlmost everyone starts with a spreadsheet, and it works for surprisingly long. The problem is not Excel itself — it is that someone has to open the shops by hand, which does not scale and does not happen on the days when other work gets in the way.
No credit card required.
Ten shops across a hundred products is a thousand checks. It gets done at first, then weekly, then when there is time — which means never during a promo week, when the data actually matters most. Automatic collection is not more accurate than a careful person; it just happens every day without exception.
A cell with a number does not remember when it was filled in, so you cannot answer how long it has been that way. The sheet has no history, only its latest state. Every record in Pricemancer carries its collection timestamp, so stale data looks stale instead of passing for current.
Shops name the same product differently. A lookup on the title works until someone adds a promo suffix to it. Matching on EAN and manufacturer code recognises the article regardless of how it was titled.
Excel does not notice that a competitor dropped a price this morning — you notice, if you open the file. Automatic collection turns that from something you must remember to do into something simply available when you look.
The goal is not to give up spreadsheets. Every view exports to XLSX with your filters applied, so the analysis, pivots and charts stay where you are used to them. What gets automated is the collection, not the thinking.

Need reliable competitor price data rather than an AI repricing platform? See where monitoring ends, where repricing begins, and which one you actually need.
