How to add a competitor and start watching their pages
Put in a name and a domain, let Rival Radar scan their site, then tick the pages worth watching. Takes about a minute per competitor.

Watch how, in short videos
If you already know who you're up against, this is the quick way in. You give Rival Radar a name and a domain, it scans their site and comes back with the pages it found, and you tick the ones you want watched.
You never have to hunt for URLs yourself, though you can paste one in directly if the scan misses something.
Step by step
Press Add competitor
From Competitors, press Add competitor. If the button isn't there, you've used all the competitor slots on your plan.
Name them
Competitor name is for you, so use whatever you'd call them in a sales meeting. It's what shows on the dashboard and in your alerts.
Give the domain
Domain takes acme.com, https://acme.com, or a pasted link. Rival Radar tidies it up for you when you click out of the box.
Say why you're watching them
Notes (optional) is a line for your own benefit. Leave it blank and Rival Radar fills it in with what their site says about itself.
Scan the site
Press Scan site. It fetches their homepage, follows their own navigation, and works out which of their pages are the pricing page, the features page, the changelog and so on.
Pick the pages
Tick the pages to watch, up to your plan's allowance per competitor. You can change any page's type with the dropdown beside it, and correct a URL by editing it in place.
Add anything it missed
Under Add a page manually, paste a URL, choose its type, and press Add. It joins the list and can be ticked like the rest.
Finish
Press Add competitor. The first check of every page starts straight away, so their pricing card usually has plans in it within a few minutes.
If the scan comes back thin
Some sites hide their navigation behind JavaScript, put everything behind a login, or block automated requests. When that happens you'll see a note at the top of the list, and fewer pages than you expected.
You have two ways round it. Either use Add a page manually on the same screen, or press Skip and enter a page URL manually on the first screen and go straight to typing a URL in.
A URL you type in by hand is treated exactly the same as one the scan found. There's no penalty for doing it yourself.
Getting the page type right
The type isn't just a label. It decides what Rival Radar does with the page beyond watching it for changes.
- Pricing pages get their plans and prices read off them, and a confirmed price history kept. See price history.
- Careers pages get checked for a public Greenhouse, Lever or Ashby job board, which is then tracked for new and closed roles. See hiring.
- Every other type is watched for changes and read for the Compare card, but has no extra behaviour of its own.
If the scan guessed wrong, change it with the dropdown beside the page before you add the competitor, or delete the page and add it again afterwards.
Changing things later
- Open the competitor and use Watch another page to add one, up to your plan's limit.
- Click a page's URL on that screen to correct it in place. Useful when a competitor moves a page and the old address starts failing.
- Use the bin icon beside a page to stop watching it. That removes the changes recorded for that page too.
- Delete competitor, at the top right, removes them and everything watched for them. It can't be undone.
Questions
Can I watch a page that isn't a competitor's?
Yes. Nothing checks that a domain is really a rival. People watch partners' changelogs, industry blogs and their own pages this way. It still counts against your competitor and page limits.
Can I watch a page behind a login?
No. Rival Radar only fetches pages the way an anonymous visitor would, so anything that needs an account, a password or a cookie banner accepted is out of reach.
What if a competitor has two pricing pages?
Add both, each as a Pricing page, as long as you have the page allowance. Each gets its own plans read off it and its own price history.
