Common questions

Does Stakeout track Amazon and Google Shopping? Does PriceMole?

Stakeout monitors Amazon, Google Shopping, and Google Search (via a product's UPC / EAN / barcode). PriceMole focuses on crawling competitor websites by URL and does not list marketplace coverage like Amazon or Google Shopping. If you want to see where you stand on the marketplaces your customers actually browse, that's a clear point in Stakeout's favour.

Does Stakeout automatically reprice my products like PriceMole?

No — that's a deliberate difference. Stakeout is a monitoring and intelligence tool: it shows you where your prices stand each day and leaves the decision to you. PriceMole is built to crawl competitor sites and reprice automatically. If you'd rather stay in control of your own pricing, Stakeout is the simpler fit.

Is Stakeout cheaper than PriceMole?

Yes, substantially. Stakeout starts at $19/mo. PriceMole starts at $99/mo and rises to $499/mo, as it's aimed at larger merchants who need advanced web crawling and repricing. For stores that mainly want to know where they stand, Stakeout delivers that at a fraction of the cost.

Which app should I choose?

Choose Stakeout if you want affordable daily price intelligence across Amazon and Google and prefer to set your own prices. Choose PriceMole if you specifically need to crawl competitor websites directly and reprice automatically, and have an enterprise budget. For most small and mid-sized Shopify stores, Stakeout covers the essentials for far less.
