# Competiflow

> Competiflow is structured competitor monitoring for B2B SaaS teams. Paste a competitor homepage; Competiflow discovers pricing, changelog, docs, blog, and homepage surfaces, extracts normalized fields, diffs those fields on a cadence, and delivers interpreted changes with severity, why it matters, and before/after evidence. It is not a pixel/screenshot monitor and not an enterprise battlecard suite.

## How it works

1. Add a competitor by homepage URL.
2. Discovery finds monitorable surfaces (pricing, changelog, docs, blog, homepage) and seeds baseline checks.
3. Monitors run on a cadence (daily, every 6 hours, or hourly by plan).
4. Each successful page read consumes one check, whether or not the page changed. Failed checks are not billed.
5. When structured fields move, Competiflow creates a change with summary, severity (info / low / medium / high / critical), why_it_matters, field-level evidence, and review_status (unreviewed / acknowledged / dismissed).

## Pricing (checks, not seats)

| Plan | Price | Checks / month | Monitors | Fastest cadence | Notes |
|------|-------|----------------|----------|-----------------|-------|
| Trial | Free | 100 | 15 | Daily | Up to 3 competitors |
| Starter | $19/mo | 2,000 | 20 | Daily | Unlimited competitors |
| Growth | $49/mo | 5,000 | 50 | Every 6 hours | SEO keyword enrichment on content changes |
| Pro | $99/mo | 10,000 | 100 | Hourly | Residential proxy retry for anti-bot pages |

Cadence math: daily ≈ 30 checks per monitor per month; every 6 hours ≈ 120; hourly ≈ 720.
