Free Competitor Monitoring — Get Started in Seconds
You don't need a budget to start monitoring your competitors. GoScreenAPI's Competitor Watch platform offers a generous free plan that lets you track up to 2 competitors with essential monitoring features — no credit card required, no trial period, no strings attached. Sign up and start getting competitive intelligence within minutes.
Our free competitor monitoring tool provides real value from day one. While premium features like advanced alerts and historical data require the Pro plan, the free tier includes everything you need to establish baseline competitive awareness and understand how the platform works before committing to a paid plan.
What's Included in the Free Plan
The free plan provides a solid foundation for competitive intelligence:
- Track up to 2 competitors simultaneously
- Real-time health and uptime monitoring
- Basic pricing page comparison
- Feature comparison matrix view
- Weekly email digest with competitor activity summary
- Current status cards showing competitor health
- Auto-detection of competitor name, logo, and tech stack
No Credit Card Required
We believe in earning your trust before asking for payment. The free plan requires only an email address to get started — no credit card, no payment information, no commitment. Use the platform as long as you want at the free tier, and upgrade only when you need advanced capabilities.
30-Second Setup Process
Getting started is remarkably simple. After registration, paste a competitor's URL into the dashboard. Our system automatically detects their company name, logo, technology stack, and pricing page. Within seconds, monitoring begins and you'll see your first competitor status card. Add a second competitor and you have a basic competitive intelligence dashboard running.
When to Upgrade to Pro
The free plan is perfect for individual founders and small teams getting started with competitive intelligence. As your needs grow, the Pro plan ($5/month) unlocks powerful capabilities:
- Track up to 10 competitors (vs. 2 on free)
- Real-time email, Slack, and Telegram alerts
- Historical data and trend charts
- Website change detection with visual diff
- Technology stack tracking
- Automated PDF reports
- REST API access
Pro access is also included automatically with any active paid API plan, so if you're already using GoScreenAPI's other services like Uptime Monitoring, Visual Monitor, or Price Tracker, you may already have Pro access.
