When someone asks "why you are better than the competitors?", there's no short anwser since many factors involved. Instead of asking 'why you are better?' it's proper to ask 'where you are better'. Here is an example research of how technically such comparisons might look like on enterprise level:
|
Subject of difference |
Getrealprice |
Random Competitor (“S*ifi*”) |
|
Parsers |
Downloads data from all available sources for the Client, including MobileApps, defended anti-crawling webshops, B2B2C-pricing aggregators, etc. |
Shopify-oriented, no resources to write and support many parsers what are needed by Client. Problem: door-to-door competitors can’t be taken into considetation. |
|
Matching |
Professional matching for International players (**I, Ne*tl*, Ca*tor*ma, De*at*o*, etc) including indirect matching, including matching with multiplicators |
Matching is not done or done manually or done only via EAN/GTIN basis. Problem: won't match if no EAN from both sides. |
|
Pricing |
Focused in delivering prices of competitors for each client’s SKU (inlcuding Private Label brands) |
Focused on AI pricing (potentially depending on demand) |
|
Data integrations |
API or XLSX/CSV or custom |
Pre-defined software for integration |
|
Daily communication |
Daily support of the Clients, can operate with more than 1 contact person. For example, 45 Contact persons (CP) in De*athl*n. Currently GRP support Team works 24/7 covering most world's time zones |
No info, potentially similar |
|
Knowledge base |
12 years, 21 countries, >1000 cases, 850 acting cases, 50+ available-to-share cases |
Fresh company, no info about company start data |
|
General comment |
Focused on managing data of competitor prices and pricing model that depend on competitor qty, not traffic |
Focused on pricing depending on demand |
|
AI usage |
Uses AI (CV) in matching. Uses Linear Algebra and Monte-Carlo simulation methods in Pricing (similar to Wallmart). Uses AI to prepare Day-Overview |
Claims that uses AI in pricing (GRP thinks this can bring unpredictable results, so usually we use mathematically trained models, but it is not “AI”) |
|
Pricing logic |
Dependent on competitor webshop amount, less dependent on SKU qty |
Pricing packages with pre-defined sets |
|
Reporting |
Presets + Custom reports. Custom reports are to be developed and enrolled in 5 days. |
No custom reports, default in focus |
|
Daily operations |
Email, Teams, Messengers. For intensive communication GRP provides self-hosted GitLab. Huge team of supporting IT specialists that recovers any parser during the daytime under the hood. |
No Gitlab / not applicable due to different model of cooperation (details are unknown) |

The price/budget schema is not transparent here because each company want's to make more margin for specific configuration and this is normal. As well as each company has ongoing clients who can dislike lower prices declared in public.
Meanwhile, the biggest share of budget in price monitoring configurations usually allocated into crawling data inself. Here's how cost share of full annual budget looks like in terms of subservices in most cases:

The secret of cost savings with Getrealprice is that company offers non-traffic-dependent costs. For example, imagine you have the following price monitoring configuration:
Volume of SKU to match with compentitors: 30000 SKU EAN matching: not possible Competitor's count: (imaginary) 12 competitors Competitor's list: look at the table:
| Webshop (imaginary) |
| Biltema.se |
| Clasohlson.se |
| Bauhaus.se |
| Jemofix.se |
| Motonet.se |
| Rusta.se |
| Verktygsboden.se |
| Granngarden.se |
| elgiganten.se |
| Lager157.se |
| Thansen.se |
| Byggmax.se |
Let's focus on this major part of annual budget: price crawling itself.

With Getrealprice, the price of crawling depends only on crawling efforts classification. We don't ask you for what amount of traffic you will need to prepay.
Average Getrealprice fees for monthly regular and stable price monitoring by crawling efforts (February 2026):
| Сrawling efforts | price, $ |
| easy | 50 |
| med | 50 |
| hard | 200 |
| nightname | 500 |
So the monthly budget of price monitoring for this (imaginary) 12 competitors would turn into 1100$ monthly flat/recurrent fee:
| Webshop | Crawling efforts | Costs based on overall crawling efforts, $ |
| Biltema.se | med | 100 |
| Clasohlson.se | easy | 50 |
| Bauhaus.se | med | 100 |
| Jemofix.se | easy | 100 |
| Motonet.se | med | 100 |
| Rusta.se | easy | 50 |
| Verktygsboden.se | easy | 50 |
| Granngarden.se | easy | 50 |
| elgiganten.se | med | 100 |
| Lager157.se | med | 100 |
| Thansen.se | hard | 200 |
| Byggmax.se | med | 100 |
| Total/monthly: | 1100 |
Another companies will often offer you traffic-counted-prices. It means that the more traffic you need to scrape the webshop, the more cost would be. You newer know that amount of traffic you'd need to scrape a webshop. Imagine we know what traffic volume will be needed and can calculate overall traffic volume in Gb and multiply with price-per-Gb:
| Webshop | Getrealprice cost (not traffic dependent) | Traffic needed for scraping, Gb |
Traffic cost at Octoparse, per Gb, $ |
Full cost at Octoparse, $ |
| Biltema.se | 100 | 200 | 3 | 600 |
| Clasohlson.se | 50 | 10 | 3 | 30 |
| Bauhaus.se | 100 | 90 | 3 | 270 |
| Jemofix.se | 100 | 30 | 3 | 90 |
| Motonet.se | 100 | 52 | 3 | 156 |
| Rusta.se | 50 | 1 | 3 | 3 |
| Verktygsboden.se | 50 | 2 | 3 | 6 |
| Granngarden.se | 50 | 5 | 3 | 15 |
| elgiganten.se | 100 | 10 | 3 | 30 |
| Lager157.se | 100 | 19 | 3 | 57 |
| Thansen.se | 200 | 350 | 3 | 1050 |
| Byggmax.se | 100 | 35 | 3 | 105 |
| Total/monthly: | 1100 | 654 | 2412 |
So it turns 1100$ at Getrealprice vs 2412$ at Octoparse. It's at least (2412-1100)*12 = $15744 savings per year. Savings or re-investments into more precise product matching with Getrealprice.
Getrealprice will do this for you. The estimation is made by analyzing at least this parameters:
Easy: Simple to crawl webshop, no high level anticrawling defences, total range is <20.000 SKU +-20%
Medium: Average/temperate crawling accessibility. Crawling farms (visual rendering) are used to get the price data. Total range of the platform is <250.000 SKU +-20%
Hard: Mobile apps or complicated or large/huge webshops or marketplaces or highly defended platforms that need deep human emulation methods. Or the product range is 250.000+ SKU +-20%
Nightmare: all together (Medium+Hard) and some extra efforts from anti-crawling defences.
If you already have a list of competitor's, send them for quick cost estimation now (email is: mail-at-lv.getrealprice.com)
Deep parsing: Every 2 weeks download ALL product range for detecting new arrivals (for further matching)
Article parsing: Every 1 day update prices for matched products. Can be every N day of the week or X times per week or sometimes X times per day.
