Can I import my competitors from Kompyte?

Not directly — there's no import tool. But adding competitors in KompWatch takes about 1 minute each: paste the URL, set a CSS selector, done. Most teams are fully set up within 15 minutes.

Will I lose my monitoring history from Kompyte?

KompWatch starts fresh — your history begins from when you add a competitor. If you have important historical changes or battlecard content in Kompyte, export it before deactivating your account.

How does KompWatch pricing compare to Kompyte?

Kompyte requires a sales call and starts at approximately $8,000/yr (based on public data from review sites). KompWatch starts free (2 competitors) and Pro is $49/mo ($588/yr) — roughly 13x less expensive, with month-to-month billing and no annual lock-in.

Who owns Kompyte now?

Semrush acquired Kompyte in 2022 and markets it as 'Kompyte by Semrush.' That means CI sits inside a broader SEO and marketing suite where it's one feature among many — not the company's core focus. Niche tools inside larger suites often see slower roadmaps and enterprise-tier pricing. KompWatch is independent and focused only on competitor monitoring.

Does KompWatch have battlecards like Kompyte?

Yes — KompWatch now offers one-click battlecard export. Generate a sales-ready battlecard from any competitor's tracked changes in seconds. It's lighter than Kompyte's full CMS, but covers the core use case.

Can I run KompWatch and Kompyte at the same time?

Yes. KompWatch's free tier (2 competitors, weekly digests) lets you run both in parallel with zero cost. This is the lowest-risk way to evaluate, especially if you're mid-contract with Semrush.

Sign up (free, 30 seconds)

Create your account at kompwatch.com. No credit card, no sales call. Your free plan includes 2 competitors.

Add your competitor URLs

Paste the same URLs you tracked in Kompyte — pricing pages, feature pages, blogs, careers pages. Takes about 1 minute per competitor.

Set CSS selectors for precision

Target specific page sections (e.g. .pricing-table, #features) instead of monitoring entire pages. This reduces noise — something Kompyte's full-page monitoring doesn't offer.

Connect Slack (optional)

Push AI digests to your #competitive-intel channel. Same workflow your team already uses, just better summaries.

First insights within 24 hours

Snapshots run immediately. Change detection begins after the second snapshot — typically within a few hours on Pro or 24 hours on Free.
