Competitor and price intelligence
Competitor pricing is public, but it is not the same for everyone. Retailers vary prices by country, by city and by whether they think you are a bot.
Collecting from residential addresses in each market gives you the price a customer there would actually pay, at whatever frequency your pricing team needs.
What gets in the way
Currency, tax, delivery cost and promotion all key off the visitor's location. One vantage point gives you one distorted number.
Some retailers serve stale or padded prices to suspected bots rather than blocking them outright, which is worse than a block.
Daily is often not enough. Hourly checks across thousands of SKUs need a pool, not an IP.
How Rainproxy handles it
- Country and city targeting so each price is collected in its own market.
- Per-request rotation for wide SKU sweeps.
- Unlimited plans when the monitor runs continuously and bandwidth is the bottleneck.
- Sticky sessions for retailers that hide prices behind a cart or a postcode prompt.
Continuous monitoring is a bandwidth problem, and unlimited removes the meter.

Yes. Exit from the target country and the site prices in its own currency, with local tax rules applied.
As fresh as you schedule. There is no concurrency cap, so hourly sweeps across large catalogues are practical.
