n8n Workflow: Competitor Pricing & Feature Change Analysis (Gemini)

Track Competitor Changes Automatically—Pricing, Features, and Threat Alerts with n8n + Gemini

This n8n workflow compares a competitor’s previous vs. current pricing and feature snapshots on a weekly cadence, analyzes what changed using Google Gemini, and logs the result with a threat score—triggering either a founder alert, a product digest, or an update archive.

What this workflow does

• Runs weekly or on demand: scheduled for Monday at 8AM (or manually when you test the workflow).
• Loads your inputs: competitor name, pricing URL, plus your supplied previous and current pricing-and-features snapshots.
• Builds a before/after analysis prompt and sends it to Google Gemini for structured change detection.
• Parses Gemini output as JSON to reliably route results based on a threat score.
• Routes by severity:
  • Critical → founder alert
  • Moderate → product digest
  • Minor → minor update archive record
• Creates a final market-intelligence log entry including threat score, summary, detected changes, and recommended counter-actions.

Use cases

• SaaS operators monitoring competitor pricing changes and packaging updates
• Automation engineers building market intelligence reporting into existing n8n dashboards
• Founders or product leads receiving priority alerts when competitor moves could impact your strategy

Technical details

• Trigger & routing: Manual Trigger, scheduled run (Monday 8AM), switch for severity routing
• AI analysis: Google Gemini (PaLM) chat model using API credentials (AI step with structured JSON parsing)
• Data handling: set, code, merge, sticky note

Setup

• Add Google Gemini (PaLM) API credentials for the Gemini AI analysis step.
• Replace seeded competitor snapshots with your own previous and current pricing/feature data.
• Adjust threat-score thresholds to match your internal escalation criteria.
