What PriceMole costs
The pricing facts, without spin.
No free plan, 14-day trial only. Team, Professional, and Business tiers run $199 to $499/mo.
10 monitors and 1 competitor free forever. Starter at $29/mo unlocks unlimited competitors and Weekly Competitor Report.
Why Shopify stores look for a PriceMole alternative
PriceMole is priced for multi-channel sellers. Not every store needs that scope.
There is no free plan, only a countdown.
PriceMole gives you 14 days to decide before the $99/mo bill starts. Beaconmon gives you 10 monitors and 1 competitor free, indefinitely, no card required.
You are paying marketplace-tracking prices for a single-storefront problem.
PriceMole's tiers scale with marketplace coverage: Amazon, eBay, Walmart, Google Shopping. If you only need to watch a handful of direct Shopify competitors, that pricing model works against you.
Promotions and content changes go undetected.
PriceMole watches prices. A competitor's new sale banner or rewritten product copy will not trigger an alert. Beaconmon tracks the full page.
Uptime monitoring requires a second tool.
PriceMole has no uptime monitoring at any tier. Beaconmon includes it on every plan, along with SSL and domain expiry alerts.

Where PriceMole still wins
Be honest about this. If PriceMole is the right fit, we will say so.
Marketplace price tracking.
PriceMole is rated 4.8 stars and tracks pricing across Amazon, eBay, Walmart, and Google Shopping alongside your direct competitors. If your business sells across multiple channels, PriceMole covers ground Beaconmon does not touch.
MAP compliance monitoring.
For brands that need to catch resellers violating minimum advertised price agreements, PriceMole has a dedicated workflow for that. Beaconmon has no MAP-specific tooling.
AI dynamic pricing across channels.
PriceMole's repricing rules apply across every tracked marketplace at once. If you want unified automated repricing across your full sales footprint, that is PriceMole's core strength.
Common questions
Does Beaconmon auto-reprice my Shopify products like PriceMole does?
No. Beaconmon monitors competitor pages and alerts you when something changes. PriceMole automatically adjusts your prices with AI rules across every channel it tracks. If automation is what you need, PriceMole is the right tool.
Does Beaconmon track Amazon or eBay prices like PriceMole does?
No. Beaconmon monitors direct competitor websites. PriceMole is built around multi-marketplace tracking. If your competitive strategy spans marketplaces, PriceMole is the better fit.
Is Beaconmon a good replacement for PriceMole if I only want monitoring?
Yes. If you want to know when a competitor changes their price, runs a promotion, or updates their website without any auto-repricing or marketplace tracking, Beaconmon covers that free to start, versus PriceMole's $99/mo entry point.
Can I run Beaconmon and PriceMole together?
Yes. Use Beaconmon to monitor competitor content, promotions, and your own store's uptime. Use PriceMole for marketplace-wide repricing automation. They serve different parts of the same pricing workflow.
