Know what your competitors did this week. Without reading the news.
Scoper watches your competitors’ news, blogs and websites every day, and sends you only what’s worth knowing. A short read on Monday. Alerts when something big drops.

Every morning Scoper reads news sites, press releases, trade press and company blogs, in several languages, and throws most of it away. Here’s one real run on BindiMaps, straight from Scoper’s logs.
What you actually get
Real Scoper screens with real data, shown doing their job.
6 features, played in order. Pick one to jump to it.
Every move, on one dashboard
New stories land in your feed as Scoper finds them, each scored by impact. The big ones are flagged critical.
- Filter by competitor, region or type of news
- Dismiss what isn't relevant and Scoper learns from it
Teams already using Scoper
Mapping, tourism and wayfinding companies that watch their competitors with Scoper.
“We follow more than a dozen competitors. Scoper puts the few moves that matter in front of us every Monday, instead of someone losing a day to searching.”
Business Development“Our competitors are small studios that rarely make the news. Scoper picks up their launches straight from their own sites and blogs, which is exactly what our Google alerts and AI prompts kept missing.”
Managing Director“Half our competitors share a name with something else, so searches came back full of noise. Scoper filters that out, and the same-day alerts mean we hear about a rival’s new contract before our clients do.”
MarketingWho Scoper is for
Small B2B teams with more competitors than time, many of them too small for anyone else to be watching.
Walk into every investor call knowing the market
What competitors launched, raised and who they hired, without losing your Monday to Google.
Keep positioning and battlecards current
Spot a rival’s new feature, pricing change or messaging shift the week it happens, not the quarter after.
Know what a rival just announced before the call
When a prospect brings up a competitor, you’ve already read the news and know how to answer.
A good fit if
- You watch 5 to 30 competitors, including small ones
- You want the news read for you, not another dashboard to check
- A $20k-a-year intelligence tool isn’t in the budget
Probably not for you if
- You only follow two or three household names: a news alert or an AI prompt covers that
- You need a full enterprise programme with analysts and win-loss workflows: Crayon or Klue are built for that
The question everyone asks first
Why not just ask ChatGPT or Claude?
Fair question: Scoper uses Claude too, to read every article. And yes, you can schedule a prompt to email you every Monday. But that’s a search that lands in one inbox and starts from zero each time. Scoper is a watch your whole team shares, and it remembers. On news, independent research also says you can’t take a chatbot’s word for it.
45%
of AI assistants’ answers about the news had at least one significant problem. 31% had serious sourcing issues: missing, misleading or wrong.
EBU and BBC study of 3,000+ answers from ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini and Perplexity, October 202560%+
of the time, AI search tools couldn’t correctly say which article, outlet and date a news quote came from, and they rarely admitted they weren’t sure.
Tow Center for Digital Journalism, Columbia University, 1,600 queries on 8 AI search tools, March 2025However well you write the prompt, even on a schedule, there are five things it can’t do.
It lands in one person’s inbox
A scheduled prompt is yours alone. You forward it, and nobody knows what a colleague already read or ruled out. Scoper is one feed for the whole team: everyone sees the same stories, the Monday brief and alerts reach every member, and when someone dismisses a story it disappears for everyone and Scoper learns from it.
It only sees what search ranks
A small competitor’s blog post rarely makes it into search results. Scoper also reads their blog and news pages directly. Since August, 1 in 4 stories Scoper kept came from there, not from the news.
It gets dates and sources wrong
We measured it. Asked what 24 companies did in the last 30 days, Claude’s answers included 23 to 33 events from before that window, every run. Scoper’s feed included none: it takes every story’s date from the page itself, drops anything it can’t date, and links each one to its source.
It can’t see what changed
A rival raises prices on Tuesday. Ask a chatbot on Friday and it sees today’s page, with nothing to compare it to. Scoper keeps yesterday’s copy of the page you pick and tells you exactly what moved.
It forgets everything between runs
Each scheduled run is a new session, by design: nothing tells it what it reported last week, so stories come back and nothing builds up. Users of ChatGPT’s daily tasks have reported getting the same headlines day after day. Scoper keeps every story your team has seen, so the same article never returns, and keeps a searchable history of everything it found.
Watching two or three household names, just for yourself? Honestly, a scheduled prompt is fine for that. Scoper earns its keep when a team follows many competitors, every day.
How it starts
No import, no setup call. Describe your business, pick your competitors, and the reading starts the same day.
- About two minutes
Tell Scoper about your business
Paste your website. Scoper drafts your profile: what you sell, to whom, and what counts as a competitor. Fix anything it got wrong.
- A couple more
Pick your competitors
Scoper suggests them, including local players you might not have on your list. Keep the ones that matter, add any it missed.
- Same day
The first scan starts right away
Scoper looks back up to a year and reads everything it finds. Your feed fills in as it runs; from then on it reads the news every morning. The first Monday brief lands the following Monday.
Pricing that makes sense
Enterprise tools like Crayon and Klue typically cost $20,000+ a year. We do most of what they do for a fraction of the cost. Team comes with a 14-day trial: you add a card, nothing is charged until day 15, and you can cancel from your settings before then.

Competitor pricing estimates based on publicly available data. Crayon and Klue starting prices are the smallest contracts reported on Vendr; typical spend from UserIntuition's 2026 pricing breakdown; Kompyte average ARR from Semrush's acquisition disclosure. These tools don't publish list pricing, so your quote may differ.
