I got tired of manually checking competitors' pricing pages, so I built a tool to do it for me

Hey IH 👋

I'm Paul, building Rival Radar, a tool that watches your competitors' pricing, features, and messaging pages on a schedule and tells you in plain English when something real changes.

The idea came from a genuine annoyance, checking a competitor's pricing page every so often is easy, but it never stays at just one competitor, and manual checking doesn't scale with your own time. I wanted something that would just do it for me, and tell me what actually changed, not fire a generic "something's different" alert with no context.

So that's what I built:

• Add competitors manually, or describe your business and AI finds real ones for you (grounded in actual search results — it never invents a name or URL)

• Pick which pages matter: pricing, features, changelog, careers, whatever's relevant to you

• It checks on a schedule, filters out cosmetic noise (banners, cookie notices), and when something real changes, explains it in one plain-English sentence, ranked by how much it matters

I'm building this solo. It's free for 3 competitors checked daily, no payment required for basic usage.

Happy to answer anything about how it's built. The AI competitor-discovery part took a bit of doing, but as it turns out... Web Scraping, Google and AI pack a serious punch when used together!
