Price & promotion tracking
List price, sale price, shipping thresholds, bundle offers and promotional codes captured per SKU across the competitors and marketplaces you name.
Off Your Plate / Competitor & Price Monitoring
Know what your competitors changed this week, without anyone watching them all week
Prices move, ranges shift, a competitor quietly delists a product or starts a promotion. Checking is a five-minute task that has to happen a hundred times. We run the cycle and send you only what actually moved.
Hourly rate
QC 10.00 / hour
1 QCoin = 1 US dollar. Billed on hours actually logged, after you accept the work.
Turnaround
First baseline within 2–3 working days, then a recurring cycle on whatever rhythm you choose.
What it typically saves you
A weekly cycle across 30–50 competitor SKUs settles at three to five hours — replacing a task that otherwise gets skipped for months at a time.
The information is public. The discipline of collecting it is the hard part.
Anyone can look at a competitor’s pricing page. Almost nobody looks at forty of them every Monday, records the numbers in the same format, and notices that one of them dropped six per cent three weeks ago.
Automated scrapers get blocked, misread variant pricing, and cheerfully report a promotional price as a list price. A person checking a defined set of pages on a defined schedule gets it right, and can tell you when something looks odd.
Scope
Competitor & Price Monitoring: What this covers
Assortment & range monitoring
New products launched, lines discontinued, variants added or removed — so a competitor’s strategy shift shows up as data instead of a rumour.
Stock & availability checks
Out-of-stock patterns and lead-time claims tracked over time, which is often the earliest visible signal of a supply problem or a demand spike.
Marketplace buy-box & seller watch
Who holds the buy box, which third-party sellers appear against your listings, and at what price they are undercutting you.
Positioning & messaging changes
Homepage and pricing-page copy, feature tables, case studies, job adverts and review scores tracked so you see the story they are telling this quarter.
Change-only reporting
A short digest of what moved since the last cycle, with the full history kept in one sheet you can chart from.
What you get back
Every order delivers the same four things
However small the job, the output is complete, checked and traceable — because a deliverable you have to re-check yourself has not actually saved you anything.
- One master tracking sheet with a dated column per cycle, ready to chart
- A change digest each cycle — additions, removals, price moves, new promotions
- Screenshots or archived page captures as evidence for anything contentious
- Alerts inside the order thread when a change crosses a threshold you set
What this costs
- Hourly rate QC 10.00
- QCoin value 1 QC = 1 USD
- Minimum order None
- Charged when You accept it
A 4-hour job therefore costs QC 40.00 — that is 40.00 US dollars, deducted from your wallet only after you have seen the work and approved it.
QCoins never expire, and they are one-way: they cannot be converted back into your own currency or withdrawn, only spent on QDesk services. How the wallet works.
Create a free accountPaying with QCoins
From handing it over to paying for exactly what it took
QCoins are prepaid credit pegged permanently at 1 QCoin to 1 US dollar. You top up, you hand the job over, and the wallet is charged only for the hours logged — after you accept the result.
-
01
Pick the job and see the price
Everything on this page carries a published hourly rate in QCoins. You see it before you commit to anything, and it is the same rate for everyone — no bidding, no haggling, no waiting three days for a quote.
-
02
Hand it over. Spend nothing.
Describe the job, attach your files, and post it. No QCoins are deducted. An Operations Manager picks it up from our own queue and confirms the approach with you before the real work starts.
-
03
Hours are logged as the work happens
Time goes on the order as it is spent. When the work is delivered you can see exactly how long it took before you decide anything at all.
-
04
You accept it — then the wallet moves
On approval, hours logged multiplied by the hourly rate leaves your balance and is recorded against that order. Not before. Never more than that.
-
05
Not right? It goes straight back
You have three days with it. Send it back with written feedback and the same manager keeps working — you pay for the hours the job genuinely takes, never a penalty for asking.
-
06
Gone quiet? A person decides, not a clock
If three days pass with no word from you, the order does not wave itself through. It goes to a QC Expert — someone who did not do the work and cannot see who you are — who opens the delivery, checks it against your brief, and either confirms it was done properly or sends it back for rework at no charge. Only that confirmation releases the payment.
More on the wallet itself: what a QCoin is and how it is spent.

Frequently asked
Questions about Competitor & Price Monitoring
Why not just use a scraping tool?
Use one where it works — for large, stable catalogues it is cheaper. Manual monitoring earns its cost on sites that block bots, price by geography or login, bury the real price behind a variant selector, or where you need judgement about what a change actually means.
How often can you run the cycle?
Daily, weekly, fortnightly or monthly. Most clients start weekly, then move to daily on a small critical SKU set and monthly on the long tail.
Is competitor monitoring legal?
Observing publicly published prices and pages is ordinary competitive research. We do not access anything behind a login we are not entitled to use, and we do not misrepresent who we are to obtain a quote.
Can you monitor prices in other countries?
Yes — regional storefronts, local marketplaces and currency-specific pricing are all trackable, and the sheet records both local currency and a converted comparison.
Can the output feed our own pricing system?
Yes. We deliver in whatever schema your repricing tool or BI dashboard expects, so the data lands where decisions are already being made.
