Why sellers monitor prices with Bane
If you resell, dropship or price against a market, you already know the routine: open the supplier page, scan for changes, copy numbers into a spreadsheet, repeat for the next page, and hope you did not miss anything. It is dull, it is easy to get wrong, and it steals an hour that should have gone into the business.
Bane replaces that routine with a robot. You tell Banebot in plain words, for example “check this wholesaler's price list every morning and email it to me”. Banebot reads the page, finds the product table on it, recognises which column holds the price, and sets up the schedule. From then on the fresh list simply arrives. Every run is stored in the robot's history too, so you can open last Tuesday's collection next to today's and see exactly what moved.
The tidying is deterministic: the same page produces the same clean columns every time, with duplicate rows removed and messy text straightened out. That means comparisons between runs actually line up, week after week. And if a run ever fails, Bane tries again on the next sweep and emails you if a robot keeps struggling, so a broken page never fails silently.
From watching prices to setting them
Monitoring is half the job. Bane can also carry the new numbers into your own shop.
Update your shop by SKU
Connect Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce or Ecwid once. A robot can then update prices on products you already have, matched by product code (SKU), on the schedule you set. You pick this mode explicitly, so your shop never changes behind your back.
Fresh lists, your way
Prefer to stay hands-on? Have the prices emailed to you, dropped into a Google Sheet your team already uses, or downloaded as a spreadsheet whenever you press the button.
A morning email that matters
Set a robot to daily and the new prices are waiting before you open the shop. Set it hourly on Pro or Business if your market moves fast.
Spot problems on your own shelves
Bane's Tidy up page checks your connected shop for missing prices, duplicate codes and out-of-stock products, so your own catalogue stays as sharp as your pricing.
Honest about how it works
Bane reads what a price page openly shows to any visitor, exactly what you would see in your own browser. It does not log in to other people's accounts, bypass passwords or pretend to be someone it is not. Use it on pages you are allowed to look at, and remember that once a day is plenty for most price lists. If a page hides its prices until you click or scroll, Bane will say it could not find a list rather than guess.
Everything runs on our servers, so there is nothing to install and your computer can stay switched off. See the help page for the full walkthrough, or compare plans on the pricing page.
Questions people ask
What is a price monitoring tool?
A price monitoring tool watches prices on web pages so you do not have to check them by hand. In Bane, a robot visits a supplier or competitor price page on a schedule you choose, collects the product names and prices it openly shows, and delivers the fresh list to your inbox, a Google Sheet or a spreadsheet download.
How often can Bane check prices?
Daily or weekly on the Starter plan, and hourly on the Pro and Business plans. You can also press Run now at any moment for a fresh copy. Every run is kept in the robot's history, so you can look back at what a page said last week and spot what moved.
Can Bane update the prices in my own shop?
Yes, on most shops. Connect your Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce or Ecwid shop once, and a robot can update prices on products you already have, matched by their product code (SKU). You choose that mode when you set the robot up, so nothing in your shop changes unless you asked for it.
Do I need to write code or install anything?
No. Bane is a no-code hosted service. You tell Banebot what you want in plain words, for example 'check this price list every morning and email it to me', and it sets the robot up for you. There are no scripts, browser extensions or spreadsheets full of formulas to maintain.
Which pages can Bane monitor?
Any page you are allowed to visit that openly shows a list of products and prices, such as a supplier's catalogue page or a rival's collection page. Bane reads what the page shows to any visitor. It does not log in to other people's accounts or get past passwords, and a page that only reveals prices after clicks may not work.
How much does price monitoring cost?
Plans start at £25 a month for 10 robots, daily or weekly schedules and up to 4,000 checks a month. Pro is £79 a month with 40 robots, hourly checks and 30,000 checks a month. Business is £250 a month for busy multichannel sellers. You can cancel any time.
