# Competitive Pricing Intel Track competitor pricing pages over time. Detect when they change plans, shift feature gating, adjust pricing models, or introduce new tiers. The output is a living pricing comparison matrix plus alerts when something changes. **Core principle:** Pricing is the most under-monitored competitive signal. Most teams only check competitor pricing when they're about to change their own. This skill makes it continuous. ## When to Use - "What are our competitors charging?" - "Has [competitor] changed their pricing recently?" - "Build a pricing comparison matrix" - "Monitor competitor pricing for changes" - "We're rethinking our pricing — show me the competitive landscape" ## Phase 0: Intake 1. **Your product name + pricing page URL** 2. **Competitors to track** — Names + pricing page URLs (2-5 recommended) 3. **Your pricing model** — How do you charge?
