The competition repricers do not see
Classic repricing tools compare identical listings: same product, same barcode. As soon as nobody sells exactly your reference, they declare you "competitor-free" and stop.
Your customer keeps comparing. A compatible battery from another brand, an equivalent model from a rival range: that alternative is what wins or loses the sale, not an identical listing that does not exist.
How to use it
You link an alternative reference to your product: an item from another brand that your customers consider a credible substitute. That reference becomes your comparison point.
From there, everything works like classic repricing: sweeprice watches the alternative product's price, alerts you when it moves, and your rules compute your answer, always bounded by your floor.
- You choose the substitute product, you know your market better than anyone
- Monitoring and history cover the linked reference like a normal competitor
- Your rules apply with a chosen offset: same price, slightly below, slightly above
Substitution and discovery, the two answers to "no competitor"
When a credible alternative exists, substitution anchors you to it: your price follows a real market reference point. When nothing really compares, pricing discovery takes over and finds the sustainable price by exploration.
Together, these two features cover the whole territory classic repricers abandon: your catalog without head-on competition.
