What is Competitor Research?
Competitor Research is a web app that helps companies find and monitor their competitors. Users paste a URL to discover competitors, build watchlists, and receive weekly summaries of significant competitive moves like pricing or product changes. It is web-based with free signup at app.competitoresearch.com.
Why Competitor Research works
Tracking competitors by hand means revisiting their sites, signing up for their newsletters, and reading press releases on a schedule that nobody actually keeps. The product automates that loop by watching the sites continuously and rolling up only the meaningful changes weekly, so product, growth, and exec teams stop missing moves between quarterly reviews.
