Hawkwatch for Agencies: Watch any product page for price or stock changes

Watch any product page for price or stock changes. Unlimited watchers, your server.

Agencies pay per-seat and per-client fees that scale with their success. Self-hosted, pay-once tools replace per-seat pricing with a flat cost that margins actually survive.

The tool this job usually means renting is Distill, at $12/mo — roughly $144 a year, every year. Hawkwatch does the job for a one-time $89 — running on infrastructure you control.

Fit check

Why it fits how agencies work

🎯 Auto price detection

Parses JSON-LD Product/Offer data with og:price and microdata fallbacks — most modern shops work with zero configuration.

For agencies, auto price detection pays off across every client account, with no per-seat math — and it's covered by the same one-time $89, not metered per month.

🖱️ CSS selector mode

For pages without structured data, paste a selector. Locale-aware parsing: $1,299.00, 1.299,00 €, 1 299,00 kr all parse correctly.

For agencies, CSS selector mode pays off across every client account, with no per-seat math — and it's covered by the same one-time $89, not metered per month.

📦 Stock tracking

From JSON-LD availability, an element selector, or a keyword regex against page text — get pinged the second it flips.

For agencies, stock tracking pays off across every client account, with no per-seat math — and it's covered by the same one-time $89, not metered per month.

FAQ

Agencies ask

Is Hawkwatch worth it for agencies?

Distill Starter costs $144/year. Hawkwatch pays for itself in under 8 months — and it never bills you again. Hawkwatch costs $89 once; Distill charges $12/mo — about $144 a year. For agencies, that fixed cost is the whole point: the tool is a one-time line item, not a monthly one.

Is it really free on GitHub?

Yes — MIT source at github.com/bensblueprints/hawkwatch-mvp, always. The $89 buys the packaged installer, 1-click setup and updates instead of npm and a terminal.

Can I monitor Amazon with it?

Amazon's Terms of Service prohibit automated access, and Hawkwatch won't pretend otherwise — there's no proxy rotation or captcha solving, and there never will be. For Amazon, use their official Product Advertising API (or camelcamelcamel, which is free).
