    Prices on marketplaces change often. Knowing what competitors charge helps you stay competitive, but blindly matching every drop destroys profit.

    How to track

    • Manually check your top competitors weekly for key products.
    • Use repricing or price tracking tools for large catalogues.
    • Watch prices before and during sale events.

    What to compare

    • Price including delivery charges.
    • Pack size and quantity.
    • Ratings and reviews.
    • Delivery speed and badges.

    How to respond

    • Price slightly higher if you offer better ratings, delivery or quality.
    • Match temporarily during important events if margins allow.
    • Bundle to change the comparison.
    • Improve listing instead of cutting price.
