Valyupeak
Alerts

The right alert, at the right moment.

Most store owners find out about a competitor price change days after customers already shifted. Valyupeak sends you a precise alert the moment something meaningful happens — so you can decide what to do while it still matters.

Three alerts that drive decisions

Every alert in Valyupeak is designed around a decision you can actually make — not just a data point for its own sake.

Competitor price drop

Fires when a tracked competitor drops below your current price by more than your defined threshold. You set the sensitivity — typically 8–15% depending on your category. Smaller moves are often promotional noise and don't require a response.

Example: Competitor drops their running shoe from $89 to $74 — 17% below your price. Alert fires immediately.

Competitor out of stock

When a key competitor runs out of a product you carry, demand shifts your way — but only if you know about it. This alert gives you the window to hold or nudge your price up before the opportunity closes.

Example: Your top competitor goes out of stock on a product you both carry. Alert fires so you can capture the demand shift.

You're the most expensive

Alerts when your price is the highest in the market by a margin that's likely hurting conversion. Not always a problem — but worth knowing, especially if there's no visible differentiation on your product page to justify the premium.

Example: You're priced 28% above the next competitor on a commoditised SKU with no differentiation copy.

Alerts that don't exhaust you

An alert system that fires on every minor price movement quickly becomes background noise — and background noise gets ignored. Valyupeak is built around the opposite principle: fewer alerts, higher signal.

Set a minimum threshold — only alert when a drop exceeds a percentage you define

Ignore small, temporary fluctuations that don't require a response

Separate alerts for opportunities (stock-out) vs. threats (undercut)

Daily digest option — one summary email instead of individual pings

What are competitor price alerts?

Competitor price alerts are notifications sent when a tracked rival changes price or stock in a way that affects you. Valyupeak alerts you when a competitor undercuts you beyond your threshold, when a competitor goes out of stock, or when you are the most expensive in the market, delivered by email or Slack.

Frequently asked questions
