SMART ALERTS
Email when it matters.
Silence when it doesn't.
Most monitoring tools drown you in noise. Rivalyst delivers an average of 4 alerts per week per active seller — and every single one is worth opening.
WHAT WE WATCH
Six signals. One inbox.
Price drop
Competitor cuts price more than your threshold (default: 5%).
EXAMPLE
MR56 access points: $189 → $169 (-10.6%)
Stockout
Tracked SKU goes to 0 inventory — your window to raise price.
EXAMPLE
Camera bag X: 0 units across top 3 competitors
New competitor
A new store enters your category with overlapping SKUs.
EXAMPLE
ProGearHub listed 14 of your top 20 SKUs
Listing change
Competitor edits title, description, or photos on a watched listing.
EXAMPLE
OptiMart updated title with 'OEM' keyword
Velocity spike
Tracked SKU sales velocity jumps 2x+ in 24h — demand signal.
EXAMPLE
Vintage RB67: 8 sold today vs 1/day avg
Restock alert
Competitor refills a previously sold-out SKU — price war risk.
EXAMPLE
GearDirect restocked MR42: 40 units, +$5
A REAL ALERT
What "useful" looks like.
Anonymized from a real seller's inbox. Notice: it tells you what changed, what it means, what to do, and what it's worth.
Rivalyst Smart Alert • 3 minutes ago
Stockout: 3 competitors cleared on MR56 — window to +$12
GearHub, NetDirect, ProSupply all hit 0 in last 4h. You're solo until Friday.
What changed: 3 of your top 4 competitors on MR56 access points sold their last units between 11:14am and 1:42pm today.
What it means: You're the only seller in the top 6 with stock until at least Friday (next earliest restock signal). Demand stays high through midweek.
Suggested action: Raise your price from $189 → $201. Historical data shows this SKU still moves at $215 when supply is tight.
Estimated upside: +$12-26 per unit, 8-15 units before competitors restock = $96-390 protected margin.

OUR APPROACH
Three rules we built around.
We hate alert fatigue too
If you're getting 50 emails a day from a tool, you stop reading them. Default thresholds are tuned so the average user gets 3-7 alerts per week — not 30 per day.
Every alert has an action
We don't tell you 'price changed'. We tell you 'price changed by X, here are 3 things you can do, click to do one in 10 seconds'.
Quiet hours are sacred
Set 10pm-7am quiet by default. Critical alerts (your top 5 SKUs only) can override; everything else queues for morning digest.
