Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly does Fruitful do?

Fruitful is a sophisticated website change monitoring platform that helps businesses track competitors' websites and receive real-time notifications about meaningful updates. Our tool automates the process of monitoring for changes in pricing, features, marketing strategies, and more.

Unlike manual monitoring or basic diff tools, Fruitful uses advanced AI to identify and alert you to only the most significant changes, saving you time and ensuring you never miss critical competitive intelligence.

How does Fruitful work?

Fruitful uses a combination of automated web crawling, AI-powered change detection, and intelligent filtering to monitor websites. Simply add the URLs you want to track, set your monitoring preferences, and Fruitful will automatically scan those sites on your preferred schedule. When meaningful changes are detected, you'll receive notifications through email, Slack, or our dashboard.

What types of changes can Fruitful detect?

Fruitful can detect a wide range of changes including price adjustments, new or removed products, updated features, content modifications, design changes, SEO updates, and more. Our AI is trained to prioritize changes that matter for competitive intelligence, filtering out minor updates like cookie notices or irrelevant content shifts.

Is there a free plan?

Yes! We offer a free trial so you can experience the power of Fruitful firsthand. Waitlist members will get an extended trial period as a thank you for their early support. Our paid plans start with affordable options for small businesses and scale up for enterprise needs with more frequent monitoring and advanced features.

How is Fruitful different from simple diff tools?

Unlike basic diff tools that flag every single change (including irrelevant updates like timestamp changes), Fruitful uses sophisticated AI to identify and prioritize meaningful changes. We reduce noise and focus on what matters, providing actionable competitive intelligence rather than an overwhelming list of minor updates.

Can Fruitful monitor password-protected pages?

Yes, Fruitful supports monitoring of password-protected and login-required pages through our secure credential management system. This allows you to track changes in customer portals, member areas, and other protected sections of websites you have legitimate access to. Please reach out to us if you need to monitor a password-protected page.
