Use case
Tracking competitor prices manually — downloading their feeds, comparing spreadsheets, spotting the changes — doesn't scale. If you have access to a competitor's product feed (through marketplaces, price comparison sites, or shared retailer feeds), Catalogian turns it into a live price monitoring system.
Add your competitor's feed as a source in Catalogian. Every time it updates, you get a precise delta showing which products changed price and by how much. Query the API for the biggest price drops, filter by product category, or let an AI agent summarize competitive pricing trends across all the feeds you monitor.
Catalogian doesn't scrape websites or violate terms of service — it works with feeds you already have legitimate access to. This makes it ideal for marketplace sellers monitoring shared category feeds, brands tracking authorized retailer pricing, or agencies managing competitive intelligence across client portfolios.
How it works
01
Upload or link any product feed you have access to — marketplace category exports, retailer data shares, or price comparison feeds. One source per competitor keeps change history clean.
02
Catalogian diffs every row on each ingest. Price increases, decreases, promotional pricing, and MAP violations are all captured with exact values and timestamps.
03
Query the API for specific pricing changes. Set up webhooks to alert your team. Let AI agents analyze trends and recommend pricing adjustments based on competitive data.

No. Catalogian works with structured data feeds (CSV, TSV, JSONL) that you upload or provide a URL for. It does not scrape websites or bypass access controls. You need legitimate access to the feed data.
Yes. Add both your feed and the competitor's feed as separate sources. Use the REST API or MCP tools to query both snapshots and compare prices by matching product identifiers like GTIN, UPC, or product name.
Each source counts toward your plan's source limit. The Brand plan includes 3 sources, Agency includes 25, and Enterprise is unlimited. Each competitor feed is one source.
Free plan includes 1 source and 50,000 SKUs. No credit card required.
