Stop checking rival shops by hand
Checking ten shops for a hundred products is a full-time job done badly. Pricemancer discovers rival product pages on its own — sitemaps, catalog feeds, category crawls and search probes — and keeps prices fresh with scheduled scraping runs. What used to be a spreadsheet afternoon becomes a live view you open with your coffee.
Know exactly which products are undercut
Scraped listings are matched to your own catalog by EAN and manufacturer code first, then brand, model and fuzzy name scoring. The comparison workspace shows your price against every shop that lists the same product, with filters by brand and category and one-click Excel export for your buying team.
Prices from shops that block simple crawlers
Modern shops sit behind anti-bot walls. Pricemancer escalates automatically — plain HTTP, browser impersonation, then a real Chromium browser — and paces itself per site so runs stay fast without hammering anyone. Sites that push back are paused politely instead of burning your time.
Promo prices, availability and history
Every scrape captures the regular price, promo price and availability, so you can tell a genuine undercut from a weekend flash sale. Price history per listing shows you who moves first, how deep the cuts go and when they roll back.
