To find out the day a competitor changes its pricing, watch its pricing page with a monitor that reads the plans and prices, not just the pixels. In monity.ai you give it the page and a rule such as “tell me when the price of any plan changes”. Each check compares the plans with the last one and the alert names the plan that moved, with the old and the new price. Every version is kept, so you can also say when it changed.
Why pricing pages are easy to miss
Pricing pages change quietly: a plan gets a new price, a limit moves to a higher tier, a free trial gets shorter. Nobody announces it, and the page often looks almost the same. A screenshot comparison also catches rotating testimonials and banners, so the alert that matters gets lost among the ones that don’t.
Step 1: Watch the pricing page
Tell the assistant which page to watch and what matters: “Watch https://linear.app/pricing and tell me when the price of a plan changes”. It creates the task and writes the rule.
Step 2: Check what Monity reads
A few minutes after you save, Monity’s AI opens the page, finds the prices and confirms that it reads them the same way twice. The task then shows Verified and what it watches.
Be specific in the rule. “The price of each plan” gives you the four prices above. Asking for “plan prices and limits” makes Monity read the whole comparison table instead, which is right if you also care when a limit moves.
Step 3: Handle monthly and yearly prices
Many pricing pages show yearly prices by default and monthly prices behind a toggle, or the other way round. Add a browser action that clicks the toggle before each check, or create two tasks, one for each view.
Step 4: Send it to the team that acts on it
Send pricing alerts to the Slack or Teams channel your revenue or product marketing team reads, or into a Google Sheet as a running log. Every channel is on every plan. Each alert carries the AI summary, such as “Pro went from $49 to $59 per seat. Other plans unchanged.”, and a link to the before and after.
Step 5: Keep the history
Every check is kept with its time, screenshot and summary. When someone asks when a competitor raised its prices, the task’s history has the answer.
How often to check
Pricing pages change a few times a year, so checks every few hours are enough. The free plan checks every 3 hours; Personal 1k every hour; Personal 5k, Business 1k and Business 10k every 15 minutes.
