Overview

You should never learn about a competitor's pricing change from a prospect on a sales call. Competitive intel watches your named rivals continuously across the surfaces that matter and turns changes into short, sourced briefings.

  • Pricing pages, plans, and packaging diffs, with the before and after side by side
  • Product launches, changelogs, and feature announcements
  • Hiring patterns that signal strategy: new sales offices, first marketing hires, team growth
  • Review-site movement: rating deltas and recurring complaint themes you can sell against
What lands in your account
Weekly briefing · example
Rival A cut its mid tier by 18%

Their Growth plan dropped from $1,100 to $900 and now includes the API. Your win rate against them is 64% on value, so the recommended counter is the approval-gate story, not price. Two talk tracks drafted.

Alert · example
Rival B launched AI meeting notes

Announced Tuesday, shipped behind a waitlist. Full teardown attached with 3 gaps their launch post concedes.

Battlecard · kept current
One page per competitor

Positioning, pricing, strengths, landmines to plant, and the objection handling that wins. Updated automatically when anything changes.

Sales-call feed · optional
Mentions from your meetings

If meeting intel is active, competitor mentions from your calls feed the battlecards.

How it runs
  • Daily sweep. Your named competitors checked across pricing, product, careers, press, and reviews. Every claim carries a dated source link.
  • Weekly briefing. One short memo of what changed and what to do about it, in your Inbox each Monday.
  • Instant alerts. Big moves, a pricing change or a launch, surface the day they happen instead of waiting for Monday.
  • It learns your market. What you mark useful sharpens what it watches. The battlecards compound; that knowledge stays in your account.
Questions
Do I have to pick the competitors myself?+

No. Setup proposes a list from your Customer Profile and market; you edit and confirm it. Add or remove competitors anytime.

Does this send anything externally?+

No. This use case is read-only: it monitors public sources and writes briefings. There is nothing to approve because nothing leaves your account.

What does it cost beyond the subscription?+

Nothing. Monitoring runs within the flat monthly price; there are no usage meters on this use case.
