Watch competitor prices and supplier stock without the spreadsheet
Dropshipping margins are thin and move fast. Knowing when a competitor cuts a price, or a supplier's listing goes out of stock, can decide whether an item is still worth selling.
Why this matters for dropshipping stores
Dropshippers live between two moving targets: what competitors charge and whether suppliers can deliver. Checking product pages by hand doesn't scale past a handful of items, and a supplier stock-out you don't notice means selling something you can't ship.
What to monitor
- The competitor product pages for your best-selling items — up to five on the price plan.
- The supplier's product page for key items, to catch price rises and out-of-stock changes.
- Your own store's homepage and checkout for uptime.
- Your domain and SSL expiry, since ad campaigns send traffic to one domain.

- SSL and domain expiry warnings well before anything lapses. Learn more.
- A weekly report with uptime, outages and response times, and optional Slack or Discord alerts.
Be realistic about marketplaces
Independent stores and many supplier sites publish product data we can read. Large marketplaces such as Amazon and AliExpress often block automated requests from servers; when a page can't be read we tell you on your dashboard rather than show stale prices. For marketplace-wide tracking at scale, a dedicated price-intelligence tool may suit you better — see our Prisync comparison.
Frequently asked questions
How many products can I track?
Up to five product pages on the Competitor Price Monitor plan, and on the Everything Bundle. It suits a focused list of key items rather than a whole catalogue.
Can I track AliExpress or Amazon listings?
Often not, because those sites block automated requests. We tell you when a page can't be read.
Will I be alerted when a supplier runs out of stock?
Yes, if the supplier's page publishes stock status, we alert on out-of-stock and back-in-stock changes.
