Hawkwatch for Coaches & Course Creators: Watch any product page for price or stock changes

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

Coaches juggle booking links, course platforms, community tools and invoicing — easily $200+/mo before their first client. Pay-once software turns that stack into a fixed, owned asset.

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.

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).
