Your competitor dropped prices at 2am. You found out at 11am, from a customer asking for a match.

Sound familiar?

Generic uptime tools tell you when your site is down. They don't write your competitor brief. Beaconmon snapshots competitor pages every hour, classifies every change, and compiles your morning briefing automatically.

One place. Your store and theirs.

No agents. No DNS config. No code changes. Paste, pick, done.

01. Add your store

Paste your Shopify or WooCommerce URL.

We auto-detect product pages, cart, and checkout, and propose a sensible monitor bundle. Confirm and you're live in under a minute.

02. Add competitors to watch

List the brands you actually compare against.

We snapshot their content, prices, and homepage hero every check. Any change lands in your feed and your digest automatically.

03. Read your morning brief

Every morning at 8am.

Price moves, new launches, content edits, and your own store status. In your inbox, Slack, or webhook of choice. No dashboard required.

Competitor price moves, new launches, and your own store status. One email covers all three.

Prices + promos01

Price moves, caught overnight.

Every price drop and flash sale your competitors ran since your last brief. You see the old price, the new price, and when it changed.

Launches + changes02

New products and copy edits.

New SKUs, restocks, colorways, and homepage copy changes. Each one labeled as a drop, launch, stockout, or edit so your brief scans in two minutes.

Your store03

Your own store, watched too.

Checkout down? Key page changed unexpectedly? You hear before a customer does. Both sides of the market, one morning email.

Side by side with the tools Shopify merchants usually try first.

Does this work with any Shopify competitor store?+

Beaconmon monitors public-facing pages, so it works on any publicly accessible Shopify or WooCommerce store. It doesn't need credentials or API access for competitor stores.

How accurate is the price data?+

We scan the actual product pages your customers see, so you get the live displayed price. Sale prices and compare-at prices are both captured when they appear on the page.

Does Beaconmon need access to my Shopify admin?+

No. Monitoring your own store only needs your public URL. We auto-detect your product pages, cart, and checkout from there. No Shopify credentials required.

What's the difference between a price drop and a flash sale?+

When a compare-at price appears alongside a lower sale price, we classify it as a promotion. A straight price reduction with no compare-at is logged as a permanent drop. Growth and Scale plans get the breakdown in plain language in the brief.

What if a competitor uses Cloudflare or restricts scraping?+

Beaconmon uses HTML monitoring on public pages. Most product listing pages and homepages are accessible. Login-gated pages and stores with aggressive bot-blocking are not supported.

Can I cancel anytime?+

Yes. No contracts, no cancellation fees. Cancel from your account settings and your plan stays active until the end of the billing period.
