Where StoreSentry is heading
The self-serve app rolls out in deliberate stages — each one only when the previous stage runs reliably enough that you never have to think about it. Need a competitor watched that isn't covered yet? We also take custom monitoring work right now, by hand — see Stage 3. Here's the plan, and the honest reasoning behind the order.
Stage 1 — Shopify competitor monitoring
Watch any Shopify store you compete with: price changes, new product launches, sellouts and restocks, delivered as a clean daily or weekly digest by email or Telegram.
- Free plan (1 competitor), $19/mo (5), $39/mo (15)
- Installed as a Shopify app, billed through your Shopify invoice
- Built on structured public catalog data — nothing to break, no false alarms
Live now — get it on the Shopify App Store or install directly.
Stage 2 — WooCommerce competitors
The second-largest home of small stores. Modern WooCommerce shops expose a public structured catalog API (/wp-json/wc/store/products) — the same reliable, no-scraping approach we use for Shopify, extended to the WordPress world.
- Mix platforms freely: watch 3 Shopify stores and 2 WooCommerce stores on one plan
- Same events, same digest — you won't notice which platform a competitor runs on
- Paste any store URL — the platform is detected automatically
Shipped ahead of schedule — install the app and add a WooCommerce competitor today.
Stage 3 — Custom and protected sites
Competitors on a custom platform, or behind bot protection? This is where monitoring gets genuinely hard — and where most tools either break silently or charge enterprise prices. You don't have to wait for this one: we take custom monitoring projects right now as a done-for-you service. The self-serve, automated version follows later. Our approach either way:
- AI-maintained parsers: when a site changes its layout, the change is detected and the parser is regenerated automatically instead of silently reporting stale prices
- Real-browser rendering for JavaScript-heavy and bot-protected storefronts
- Hand-checked setup per site, priced per project or on a premium plan
Need a specific site watched now? Tell us which one — email hello@storesentry.app and we'll scope it. The automated self-serve version is on the roadmap after Stage 2.
Why this order?
Because reliability is the entire product. A monitoring tool that's wrong 5% of the time is worse than no tool — you stop trusting every alert. Shopify and WooCommerce catalogs are structured data: we can promise near-zero false alarms from day one. Custom sites need the heavier machinery of Stage 3 to meet the same bar, and we'd rather ship it later than ship it flaky.
It also keeps prices honest: structured monitoring is cheap to run, so small stores pay $0–39. The premium tier will cost more because real browsers and AI-maintained parsers genuinely cost more — not because a sales team decided so.
