Use case — pricing intelligence

Scrape competitor pricing pages and track changes over time

Monitor SaaS, ecommerce, and marketplace pricing without a paid tool. Stekpad watches any pricing page and drops diffs into your Sheet whenever anything changes.

The problem

Why your current scraper doesn't cut it

Pricing intelligence is a full-time job at most SaaS companies. The dedicated tools cost €500-2000/month. DIY scrapers break whenever a competitor redesigns their pricing page.

Stekpad does this in two clicks. You open a competitor's pricing page, click any price tile, and Stekpad captures every plan with its price, features, and CTA. Schedule the recipe daily and you get a running log of pricing changes across your entire competitive set.

Step-by-step

How to do it with Stekpad

  1. 1

    Open any competitor pricing page

    Works on Stripe-hosted pages, custom HTML, Webflow, Framer, and every React/Vue app. No framework limits.
  2. 2

    Click a price

    Stekpad detects the pricing tile pattern and highlights every plan. Add fields: plan name, price, billing period, feature bullets.
  3. 3

    Schedule daily runs in the Cloud

    Upgrade to the Cloud tier and the recipe runs daily without keeping Chrome open. Every run appends a dated row to your log.
  4. 4

    Get notified on diffs

    Pipe the Sheet into a Zapier diff-watcher or a Claude agent that pings your Slack whenever a price changes.

Is Web Scraping Legal in 2026? A Practical Guide

Authoritative legal overview covering: hiQ v. LinkedIn (public data scraping is generally lawful in the US), CFAA limits (don't bypass authentication mechanisms you weren't authorized to access), GDPR considerations for EU personal data, robots.txt (advisory, not legally binding), and ToS clauses (civil risk, not criminal). Structured as a decision tree: if you're scraping public data → generally fine; if behind a login → only safe if it's your own session; if personal data of EU citizens → add anonymization. Positions Stekpad's browser-native model as the lowest-risk technical approach.
