I built a backend-first competitor price scraping script (one-time purchase)
Hey IH 👋
I’m a backend-focused solo dev and recently built a small Python tool to automate competitor price tracking.
It’s intentionally simple:
– Config-based scraping
– CSV / Excel export
– No UI, no subscriptions, one-time purchase
I used Lovable for the landing page since frontend isn’t my strong side and focused mostly on making the core script reliable and easy to run locally.
Would love feedback from other devs who’ve dealt with competitor pricing or web scraping before.

About
Competitor price tracking was either manual or locked behind expensive SaaS tools. I just wanted a simple script I could run on demand and export pricing data.

Thanks everyone for checking this out 🙌
PriceForge started as an internal script I kept reusing for small projects.
If you’re doing competitor research and don’t want a full SaaS, I’d love your feedback.
Happy to answer any questions.
