The reason that should not decide your purchase is that every one of those features is downstream of whether the competitor listing attached to your SKU is actually the same product. If a 500 g pack is matched to your 2 kg SKU, a 15-minute refresh delivers a wrong number fifteen minutes fresher. Compare match accuracy first, feature count second.",{"title":19,"description":20},"How often does Wiser update prices compared to Price2Spy?","Wiser says as often as every 15 minutes. Price2Spy runs at 24 hours on its Starter plan and 6 hours on Pro. Before paying for the difference, check whether your competitors actually reprice that often — pull two weeks of history on your twenty most important SKUs and count distinct changes. Sub-hourly refresh genuinely matters on marketplaces with algorithmic repricers, during short flash sales, and where an automated rule engine acts on the data without a human in between. For considered purchases, B2B catalogues and weekly pricing reviews, it buys you a lot of identical readings.",{"title":22,"description":23},"Which has better coverage of European retailers?","Price2Spy, generally. It renders pages in a headless browser rather than querying feeds, which lets it handle smaller DACH, Benelux and Eastern European storefronts running bespoke platforms where feed-based tools come back empty. Wiser's centre of gravity is US marketplaces and retail channels, which follows from its MAP enforcement focus. That said, coverage is a property of your specific target list, not of the vendor — we measured Price2Spy at 83% on a 500-SKU Amazon and Shopify benchmark, but your own catalogue could land anywhere. Test both against your hardest sites rather than trusting either claim.",{"title":25,"description":26},"Can I try Price2Spy or Wiser before buying?","Price2Spy is self-serve, so you can load your own SKUs and check the results yourself. Wiser is demo-gated with no published pricing, so verification on your own catalogue happens after a contract rather than before. This is usually filed as a procurement preference, but it has a direct effect on data quality because it determines how fast you can falsify the vendor's claims.
