Competitor pricing, hours, reviews, job posts — the market research a small business owner never has time to do, on one page, before you finish your coffee. The kind of thing you would learn: your main rival cut prices 16% last Wednesday — without a watcher you would find out in October, from the customers who stopped coming.
Below is a real finding from a brief someone actually ran on their own business — one line of many. Run it on yours below and see what comes back.
Real brief format, built by the live engine — business names are invented so nobody is named without consent. Open any one and read it.
See it on your own business: type its name. We find your actual competitors — from their public pages, anywhere in the world — and show you what changed.

Business categories we watch with confidence
If your competitors have a website, a Google listing, or a job posting, we can watch them. That is nearly every local business — and we catch newcomers earlier than that: a lease signed, a permit pulled, a first press mention. You hear about fresh competition before they open.
If you are an underdog, this is the advantage that does not cost headcount. The chain down the road has staff to watch the market for them; an independent owner has the same day and none of the people. You get the watching done every morning for the price of lunch — which is how a small shop punches above its weight.
And if you are the one to beat, the risk runs the other way. Market share leaves quietly — an up-and-comer undercuts a price, opens on a Saturday, or lands the reviews that move them above you in search. The established operator is usually last to hear about it, because nobody tells you the day it starts.
This tool is not some cookie-cutter startup with no street cred. MyIntelBrief was founded by a former defense intelligence professional, and the daily brief is the format that discipline runs on — what changed, what it means, what to do about it, on a fixed schedule whether or not the day was eventful. You will not find a name on this site; people from that world prefer to work in the shadows.
A Google Alert won't tell you a brand-new competitor is entering your market. It can only match a name that is already being published. A lease has no name yet.
The honest answers about what this competitor analysis can and cannot tell you.
Ask a general assistant what a competitor charges and you may well get an answer. What you will not get is a date on it. You cannot tell whether that price is from this morning, from last quarter, or from whenever the tool last looked — and it will not tell you, because it does not know either. Acting on an undated number is the part that costs you.
It is also one answer, to one question, about one rival, at the moment you happen to ask. That is a different thing from knowing your market.
The gap is not what any of them can read. It is that nobody is watching between your questions. Ask again next month and nothing can tell you the price changed — because nothing kept yesterday’s copy to compare against. We keep a dated copy of every competitor page, every morning, and report only the difference: $16 became $18.50 on Tuesday, the happy-hour page came down, two hygienist roles went up.
We keep a dated copy of every competitor page, every morning, and report only the difference — $16 became $18.50 on Tuesday, the happy-hour page came down, two hygienist roles went up. That is an archive problem, not a writing problem, and it is why this is a standing service rather than a prompt you run once. The other half is showing up: this arrives whether or not you remember to ask.
No — and the gap is the point. A Google Alert can only match a name that is already being published. It cannot tell you a competitor signed a lease, because a lease has no name yet. We read the pages themselves: pricing, hours, reviews, job posts, permits — and report what changed, not what got mentioned.
Most mornings your competitors do nothing, and the brief says so in a line. It is one page, ranked, and quiet days stay quiet — that is what makes the loud ones readable. There is also a dashboard if you would rather look than be told, but the email is the product: it arrives whether or not you remember to check.
Those are built for enterprise teams with an analyst to run them, and priced for it. They are competitive intelligence tools — a CI tool, in the shorthand most teams use — sold at enterprise prices. This is for the owner or consultant who needs the same answer without the seat count or the sales call. See the side-by-side: vs Crayon, vs Klue, vs Kompyte.

Yes. The demo above runs on your real competitors in about a minute, with no signup and no card. The 7-day trial does ask for a card, and nothing is charged until day 8 — cancel any day before that and you pay nothing.
Every line above came from a page your own customers can see — a pricing page, a Google profile, a job board, a permit filing. The work isn't access. It's showing up every morning and reading all of it before you do — the competitor analysis nobody has time to sit down and do.
