Executive Summary

Many SMB marketing, product, and sales teams waste hours each week manually checking competitor websites for pricing, feature and promotion changes, with individual contributors often spending 1–4 hours weekly on this task. The manual process is noisy, error-prone, and easy to miss critical changes or misprioritize trivial layout edits. Build a lightweight SaaS that continuously snapshots competitor pages and uses AI to classify and surface only meaningful changes (price, product, messaging, promotions), delivering low-noise alerts via Slack, email, Zapier and CRM integrations. Include versioned change history, role-based dashboards, and one-click vertical templates so small teams can set up monitoring in minutes at an accessible price point. The addressable market looks attractive now: roughly 4M SMBs × $300 ACV implies a $1.2B opportunity, and SMBs are increasingly adopting low-cost operational subscriptions. Advances in AI for change detection and the expectation of integrations as table stakes make this a timely product with clear conversion and retention levers. Differentiate by prioritizing precision (reducing false positives with ML classification and DOM-aware comparison), an SMB-friendly UX, and pre-built integrations/templates that deliver immediate workflow value. Be upfront that challenges include building robust crawlers across diverse site structures and managing legal/scraping risks, so start with repeatable verticals and rapid iteration on detection accuracy to minimize support overhead.
