Stakeout vs Lurk

The biggest difference is how competitors are found. Lurk tracks the specific competitor URLs you add and then reprices your products automatically. Stakeout finds competitors for you across Amazon, Google Shopping and Google Search — no URLs to paste — and gives you a daily report to act on yourself. One automates your prices; the other hands you the intelligence.

Stakeout searches Amazon, Google Shopping and Google Search (via UPC / EAN / barcode) automatically for each product. Lurk can monitor those too, but its model is URL-based — you point it at the competitor pages you want tracked. If you'd rather not hunt down and maintain competitor URLs, Stakeout does that discovery for you.

No — that's intentional. Stakeout is a monitoring and intelligence tool that shows you where you stand and leaves the decision to you. Lurk is built to reprice automatically against the competitors you track. If you'd rather stay in control of your own pricing, Stakeout is the simpler fit.

Choose Stakeout if you want competitors found for you across marketplaces and a clear daily read at a low price, while keeping control of your pricing. Choose Lurk if you already know the exact competitor URLs you want to track and specifically want automatic repricing against them. For most stores that just want to know where they stand, Stakeout is the simpler, cheaper choice.
