Monitor Competitor Website Changes
Competitors change their websites all the time, and a few of those changes matter: a new pricing tier, a feature launch on the changelog, a new landing page for your market, a wave of job postings. Checking five or ten sites by hand each week is slow, and the edit that mattered is easy to miss. RivalPeek.io is a competitor intelligence assistant for small teams. It watches the pages that carry those signals and tells you when something relevant changes.
Start from a competitor homepage
Enter a competitor's homepage. RivalPeek.io looks for its key pages, reading the homepage links, the site's sitemap and a few common addresses, and suggests a plain-English rule for each:
- Homepage: “Alert me if the main message or offer on this page changes.”
- Pricing: “Alert me if prices or plans change.”
- Product or features: “Alert me if the features on this page change.”
- Changelog or updates: “Alert me when a new release or update is added.”
- Blog or news: “Alert me when a new post is added.”
For hiring signals, paste the public careers or jobs-board URL you want to follow and ask: “Alert me when new jobs are posted.”
Choose the suggested pages and edit their rule sentences before creating watches. Successful checks that need no extra review are created directly. Pages needing confirmation of coverage or other limitations must be added separately through the review flow; unreadable pages are not created.
How it works
- Add the competitor's homepage, or paste specific pages you already know.
- Review each suggested rule, edit the sentence if needed, and approve.
- Put the competitor's watches in a folder and tag them, for example by product line.
- Read alerts as they arrive, or let the weekly digest gather the week's changes by site.
The weekly competitor digest
Individual alerts are right for urgent pages like pricing. For everything else, the weekly digest is easier to read: one email on the weekday you choose, listing the week's changes grouped by competitor, with short AI-written notes on what each may mean for you when those notes are available. The digest is available on paid plans and active trials with email enabled, and Free gets a short brief for its 1 rival; AI notes may be omitted. Changes you marked as not useful are left out, and weeks with no changes send nothing.
What it will not see
- Anything behind a login: the competitor's app, customer area or partner portal.
- Purely visual changes such as a new hero image; comparisons are made on readable text, prices and lists.
- Ads, emails and social posts. It watches web pages only.
- Some sites that block automated visits. The review tells you when a page cannot be read.
Which plan fits
Plan on about four or five pages per competitor. Starter covers 20 pages checked every hour with email alerts, which suits a short list of pages. Pro covers 150 pages checked every 15 min and adds Slack and webhook alerts. Business covers 500 pages checked every 15 min for larger watchlists.

Choose your monitoring capacity
Choose a plan for the pages you need to follow. Starter costs USD $19/month for 20 pages, with ordinary checks every hour. Annual billing is USD $190/year. Pro costs USD $39/month for 150 pages, with ordinary checks every 15 min. Annual billing is USD $390/year. Business costs USD $99/month for 500 pages, with ordinary checks every 15 min. Annual billing is USD $990/year. These are scheduled checks, not a live stream; availability and the check queue can affect when a result arrives.
Pages requiring protected checking use a separate allowance and a slower schedule. Access is not guaranteed, and some sites block automated visits. Start with a representative public URL and review the result before expanding your watchlist.
Frequently asked questions
Which competitor pages does it find?
From the homepage address it looks for the homepage message, pricing, product or features, changelog or updates and blog pages, using the site's links, sitemap and a few common paths. It suggests a rule for each, and you choose which to keep.
Will I get an email for every small edit?
Only if you ask for any change. Each page gets its own rule, such as plan prices on the pricing page or new posts on the blog, and recognised short timestamp lines are filtered; other date formats may still trigger alerts.
What is in the weekly digest?
One email a week summarising the changes found on your watches in the previous seven days, grouped by site, with AI notes on what they may mean for you when available. Quiet weeks send nothing.
Can it read a competitor's app or customer area?
No. Only public pages can be watched; nothing behind a login, and no results that only appear after submitting a search.
