Common questions
How much does competitor price tracking cost for a food & beverage store?
VantageDash is free for 3 competitors and 50 products, then $19 a month for 10 competitors and 200 products or $49 for 25 and 500. Summit is $199 a month for unlimited competitors and products. Every account starts on the free plan with no credit card, and you can change or cancel your plan in Settings.
Which food & beverage stores can VantageDash read?
Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Wix, Squarespace, Square Online and Ecwid, and the platforms European shops run on: Shopware, PrestaShop, JTL, Gambio, plentymarkets, Magento, Lightspeed, Shoptet, Shoper, DanDomain, ePages, OpenCart and EKM, as well as custom-built shops. That goes for your own store and your competitors'. If a shop shows its prices publicly, VantageDash can usually track them. On 29 October 2026 we read 75 shops we had never read before, on 11 of these platforms, from our own server, the way a price check reads them: 74 read the first time and the last one after we fixed our reader. We compared 131 of their prices by hand with what the page shows a buyer: 128 were right, 129 after a second fix. That count leaves out 9 more: 8 had no shop to read and one refused our server. A competitor on Toast, or one that blocks automated visits, gets a free first read on every plan and is kept current on paid plans. Your own store is read on every plan. On any plan you can also add the products you care about by hand.
Does VantageDash change my prices?
No. VantageDash shows where your prices stand against your competitors and alerts you when theirs change. You decide what to do, and you change prices in your own store.
