# Know every week when a competitor changes their prices

> It compares against last week's notes, so you hear about real changes, not the same price list again.

Set a weekly Perplexity Computer automation that checks your competitors' public prices, compares them with last week's findings and sums up only what changed.

## The prompt

Fill in the parts in [square brackets], or leave them and the AI will ask you for them.

```text
Every week, check the public pricing and package pages for these competitors: [COMPETITOR NAMES, e.g. three local gyms I'll list]. They sell [YOUR OFFER, e.g. small-group fitness classes] to [YOUR IDEAL CLIENT, e.g. busy parents]. Compare what you find with your notes from last week. Report only what changed: new prices, new packages, removed offers, new discounts or guarantees, and the date you spotted each one. Put it in a short table, then add two sentences on what the changes might mean for a small business like mine, plus one question I should think about. If nothing changed, say that in one line. Only use pages anyone can see without logging in.
```
