Current prices
List prices, sale prices, and promotional pricing across competitors.
Retail price monitoring at scale
Retail sites block scrapers. Browserbase runs real browsers that extract competitor prices, track changes, and power your pricing strategy, reliably.
The Problem
Manual price tracking breaks down
- Manually checking competitor prices across dozens of retail sites.
- Missing price changes that affect your margins within hours.
- Getting blocked by anti-bot detection when you automation.
- Spreadsheets going stale before you can act on the pricing data.
- No visibility into promotional pricing, flash sales, or MAP violations.

- Agent Identity: bypass anti-scraping protections without getting blocked.
- Scheduled collection: run price checks on your schedule, from hourly to daily.
