Knowledge is half the battle—but it isn’t the whole battle. This is the heart of the difference between price crawling and pricing intelligence.

In a retail world where little matters more than price, you must know how your prices compare to your competitors, how your margins fluctuate based on price changes, and so much more. Price crawling and pricing intelligence can both help you along that journey, but they’ll lead to very different conclusions.

Price Crawling and Pricing Intelligence

Most price crawling tools give you that initial pricing knowledge. Crawling relies on bots to crawl eCommerce sites in search of pricing and product description data. This tactic can provide you significant amounts of information on thousands of SKUs.

Pricing intelligence is that plus more. Intelligence platforms can also provide you pricing data on thousands of SKUs. But intelligence incorporates additional analytics, reporting, and repricing features for a more holistic solution.

Despite the similarities, price crawling and pricing intelligence are two different things.

Find Your Ideal Pricing Solution

Both crawling and intelligence have their merits, but the value can differ depending on your role and your company.

You may want that quick access to pricing data, or you may need those more comprehensive analysis and repricing tools. Which one is right for you?
