Pricing and promos
List prices, sale prices, discount codes, and shipping costs across every competitor.
Competitor monitoring, on autopilot
Competitor sites were not built for agents. Browserbase runs real browsers that watch them for you, tracking price changes, product launches, ad creative, and landing page tweaks across thousands of pages, under one API key. On the infrastructure behind 35m+ browser sessions a month.
The Problem
Why competitor monitoring breaks at scale
- Checking competitor sites manually and missing the changes that matter.
- Getting blocked the moment you try to automate the work.
- Spreadsheets going stale before anyone can act on the intel.
- No visibility into pricing changes, promos, or new launches in real time.
- Stitching together half-broken scrapers that fail every time a site updates.
The Solution
How Browserbase automates competitor monitoring
- Real browsers: navigate competitor sites exactly like a human would.
- Verified: reach competitor pages that turn away ordinary tooling, with no IP bans to manage.
- Agent Identity: Web Bot Auth signs your agent's requests, so monitored sites can verify it instead of guessing.
- Scheduled runs: check every competitor on the cadence you need, hourly or daily.
- Change detection: diff snapshots over time so you only see what changed.
- Parallel collection: watch hundreds of competitor pages at the same time.

How often can I monitor competitors with Browserbase?
You can run competitor monitoring jobs on whatever cadence you need, from hourly checks to daily snapshots. Parallel browser sessions let you watch hundreds of competitor pages at the same time without serial bottlenecks.
What competitor data can I collect?
You can collect prices, promotions, new product launches, inventory levels, ad creative, landing page copy, blog content, SEO meta data, and more. Anything that renders in a real browser is fair game, including content behind logins or paywalls when you supply credentials.
How do I avoid getting blocked when monitoring competitor sites?
Browserbase runs real browsers with Verified access, residential proxy support, and managed CAPTCHA solving. That combination reaches most modern sites without manual tuning. Agent Identity adds Web Bot Auth signed requests, so the sites you monitor can verify your agent instead of guessing.
Can I detect changes on competitor pages over time?
Yes. Browserbase captures full page state on every run, including the rendered DOM, screenshots, and structured data. Pair that with your own diffing logic to surface only the changes that matter, like price drops, new banners, or fresh product pages.
How is this different from a price monitoring tool?
Price monitoring tracks one signal. Competitor monitoring covers the full picture: pricing plus ads, content, SEO, product launches, and landing page changes. Browserbase gives you a single browser layer to watch all of it from one workflow.
