MonitorCat
MonitorCat use case

Track a product price without checking every day

Select the displayed price on a public product page, receive scheduled change emails and use recorded history to add context.

Why use it

Spend less time checking the same pages

Price-comparison services work from their own catalogues and update schedules. MonitorCat lets you follow the public product page you choose and receive an email when a scheduled check finds a different price.

For example

You have chosen a particular laptop that is not covered by a useful retailer alert. MonitorCat records the displayed price on each successful check, builds its history and emails you when that price changes.

With MonitorCat

From webpage to email alert

1

Use the exact product and variant URL

Open the public page for the exact product configuration rather than a search or category page.

2

Select the current displayed price

Create a Price Change monitor and identify the relevant price element in MonitorCat's selection view.

3

Build a price history

Successful scheduled checks add observed values to the product's price graph and recent-run record.

4

Verify a change on the shop

Follow an alert back to the retailer to confirm availability, variant, delivery and final checkout price.

Works well for

  • A specific publicly visible product price
  • Purchases that can wait for scheduled checks
  • Shoppers who want history as well as a change notification

What MonitorCat leaves to you

  • Automatic purchasing or checkout
  • Guarantees about stock, delivery or promotion eligibility
  • Login-only, personalised or loyalty prices
Questions

Common questions

Is this a stock alert?

Not as a dedicated stock condition. MonitorCat can watch selected page content, but it should not be assumed to understand every retailer's availability state.

How quickly will I hear about a change?

After a scheduled check detects it. Available intervals depend on your plan, so alerts are not described as instantaneous.
