This week: the tools that compete with Know Thy Rivals

Monday, October 14, 2026 · read this against our prices: $20 a month, or $25 with the sector breakdown. We watch ourselves the same way we watch your market.

The short version

The market splits into two groups and there is almost nothing in between. Cheap automated tools cost $10 to $40 a month. Human research services cost $1,500 a month or more. At $20 you get a full weekly brief with source proof, making it exceptional value for money on the list. The $25 plan adds a sector-by-sector view of what moved that week.

Why it matters & what to do

• Some tools just ping you when a page changes. That is useful, but you still have to read it, judge it, and decide what to do. Our page tells you what moved, what it likely means, and where the number came from.
• Research firms charge hundreds or thousands. They sell a human's judgment. We sell a checked weekly page at $20, so you can afford to keep watching every week instead of once a quarter.
• Every number has a saved copy behind it. If a claim looks surprising, you can open the page we captured on the day we read it. That is the part an alert feed cannot give you.
• We tell you what we could not confirm. When a site hides its price or blocks our check, the brief says so plainly instead of guessing.

What we could not confirm

Three of the four competitor sites block automated checks, so their prices were read from their own published text and search listings on Oct 14, 2026 rather than from a fresh capture. Treat them as seen, not verified. When we sell to you, we mark it the same way.

We run this pipeline on our own market because it is the only sample we can hand you without making up a customer.
