Monitoring methodology

Public-source competitor monitoring, with clear boundaries.

SpyGlow helps teams track competitor moves using publicly accessible pages. We do not access private systems, password-protected pages, or internal competitor content.

Public pages only

SpyGlow monitors publicly accessible competitor pages that a person could view in a normal browser without logging in.

No private access

SpyGlow does not access password-protected pages, private workspaces, internal tools, private files, or content behind access controls.

Evidence first

Where SpyGlow surfaces a competitive claim, the product is designed to keep the source page, capture time, and supporting evidence close to the insight.

What we monitor

Public pages that show how a market is moving.

SpyGlow is built for practical competitive intelligence: pricing changes, product launches, positioning shifts, documentation updates, hiring signals, and other public market signals.

Marketing websites
Pricing pages
Product and feature pages
Blog posts and changelogs
Help centers and documentation
Public job boards
Press and news pages
Public app store listings
What we never access

Clear lines we do not cross.

SpyGlow is not an offensive recon tool and it is not built to find private or misconfigured assets. Customers are responsible for choosing lawful targets they have the right to monitor.

Password-protected pages
Private customer portals
Internal tools or intranets
Misconfigured cloud storage
Private social accounts
Content requiring compromised or shared credentials
Any target the customer does not have the right to monitor
Evidence and retention

Insights stay connected to the source.

SpyGlow is designed to keep competitive claims close to the public source material behind them. Change reports and grounded battle cards carry source context so your team can inspect what changed instead of trusting a black-box summary.

Page snapshots and change history are retained while your account is active and are deleted within 30 days of account deletion, except where retention is required by law.

Does SpyGlow access private competitor content?

No. SpyGlow is built for public-source competitive intelligence. We do not access password-protected or private content.

Who chooses the competitor pages?

Customers configure the competitors and pages they want to monitor. SpyGlow also helps discover likely public pages, such as pricing, product, blog, help, and changelog pages.

What happens when a page changes?

SpyGlow compares the latest capture with the previous one, filters low-value noise, summarizes meaningful changes, and keeps evidence available for review where the feature supports it.
