CompeteIQ

Lost two customers last year to a competitor's quiet 30% price drop. Found out weeks later. That was the moment.

So I built CompeteIQ — an always-on agent that monitors competitor pricing, promotions, and moves, then sends you a one-page daily brief. No dashboard to check. Just the signal in your inbox.

It's live now. Free tier: 1 competitor, daily brief. Paid: 3+ competitors, full dashboard.

If you're a founder who's ever been caught off guard by a competitor move — I'd love to know: what would make this a must-have for you?

    The daily brief is the right delivery model, but “monitor competitor moves” is still too broad. To become a must-have, it needs to tell me not only what changed, but why it matters and what action I should take.

    For example: “Competitor X cut annual pricing by 30%, removed feature Y from the entry plan, and is running a limited promotion. Your closest plan is now 22% more expensive. Recommended action: review packaging, not necessarily match the discount.”

    I’d also want source links, screenshots, and change history so I can verify every alert. Otherwise one false positive could make the whole product hard to trust.

    Have you narrowed the first customer segment yet? Pricing intelligence is far more urgent for some businesses than others.

    the failure mode for these isn't missing a move, it's alert fatigue. a daily brief of "competitor changed something" gets skimmed and ignored after a week if it's not filtered by whether the move actually threatens my segment. the moat isn't detecting the price drop, it's judging severity: is this a strategic repositioning or just a regional promo/clearance that doesn't touch my customers. classify threat level, not just deltas, and this becomes a must-have instead of another inbox item.

    "Eagle Eye A.I." — competitive intel, presumably. But who's buying: the product manager tracking competitors, or the sales rep who needs battle cards? One wants strategy, the other wants scripts. Same data, two different prices.

    The pain point is clear: finding out about competitor moves too late.

    What would convince you that founders want continuous competitor intelligence in their workflow, rather than only needing it when a major market change happens?
