Business Idea:
A SaaS API enabling users to monitor prices and specific information across websites by tracking changes through customizable XPaths or a user-friendly UI, notifying them instantly when updates occur.
Problem:
People and businesses waste time manually checking websites for updates, price drops, or important info—costing time, effort, and sometimes money.
Solution:
A simple, easy-to-integrate API that lets users specify pages and data points to watch, with alerts sent via email or messaging when changes happen, automating the monitoring process.
Target Audience:
Online sellers, price-conscious consumers, e-commerce platforms, competitor analysts, and anyone needing real-time website update alerts.
Monetization:
Subscription plans based on number of monitored pages or API calls, with tiered pricing for freelancers, small businesses, and larger enterprises.
Unique Selling Proposition (USP):
User-friendly interface to select elements visually, flexible XPath configuration, and immediate notifications, setting it apart from more complex or less customizable tools.
Launch Strategy:
Start with a minimum viable product (MVP) offering basic website monitoring via API and UI. Gather early user feedback, refine core features, and gradually add advanced options like multi-element monitoring or competitor analysis tools.
