Daily competitor scans vs. real-time monitoring

· Updated · 3 min read

In short: Spiderlook scans every rival’s selected sources daily and lets you trigger an additional refresh when you can’t wait for the next scan. It is not a real-time monitoring tool.

Daily is fast enough for real decisions

Campaign reviews, client reports and planning meetings don’t need second-by-second alerts. They need a clear picture of what changed since yesterday, grouped into signals you can act on.

What a daily scan gives you

  • A consistent comparison point: today against the previous scan.
  • Changes grouped into signals instead of dozens of separate notifications.
  • An activity history you can compare over time.

When you can’t wait for tomorrow

Some moments can’t wait for the next scan — a competitor launch, or a client meeting in an hour. For those, Spiderlook lets you trigger an additional refresh of a rival’s sources. Each plan includes a manual refresh allowance.

What Spiderlook does not do

Spiderlook is built around daily competitive scans rather than continuous real-time monitoring. Every project is scanned daily, with additional refreshes when you need data sooner.
