Everything new in IndustryLens.

Product updates, shipped in the open — new detectors, sharper analysis, and the occasional fix.

v2.8New

Pricing-change alerts

Competitive Signals now reads the diff on tracked pricing pages. When a competitor changes a price, an alert goes out instead of the change sitting in a report you read on Monday.

  • Pricing diffs detected on tracked pages, not inferred from copy changes elsewhere
  • An alert dispatcher fires on the change rather than waiting for the weekly cycle
  • The diff keeps a link to the page it came from, so you can check it yourself
v2.8New

Campaign Intelligence

Ads from Meta, Google and LinkedIn are stitched into campaigns and fingerprinted by creative, so a competitor’s campaign reads as one campaign rather than a pile of unrelated creatives.

  • Ad stitching across Meta, Google and LinkedIn into a single campaign view
  • Creative fingerprinting groups variants of the same creative together
  • A dedicated Intelligence dashboard for campaigns, separate from the competitor feed
v2.7Improved

Rebrand-aware entity matching

A competitor that renames itself — or starts trading under a product brand — used to split into two entities and lose its history. An alias layer now keeps it as one company.

  • Alias layer maps renamed companies and product brands back to one entity
  • History, moves and past reports stay attached through a rebrand
  • An automatic drift auditor flags aliases that stop matching
v2.7Improved

Sharper outbound targeting

Competitive displacement outbound now sits behind a move-quality gate. A minor page tweak no longer looks like a reason to email someone.

  • Only substantive competitor moves are eligible to trigger outreach
  • Low-signal changes are recorded as intelligence but do not open a sequence
v2.6Improved

More reliable page extraction

Webpage extraction now runs BrightData Web Unlocker as the primary path with Firecrawl as fallback. Pages that used to fail to scrape now come back.

  • BrightData Web Unlocker is the primary extractor; Firecrawl covers the fallback
  • Pages that previously failed outright are recovered rather than logged as gaps
v2.6New

Market context per vertical

A per-vertical market-news collector runs alongside competitor tracking, so a move can be read against what is happening in its market rather than in isolation.

  • Market news collected per vertical, not as one undifferentiated feed
  • Competitor moves are presented next to the market context they landed in
v2.6Improved

Grounding integrity

Tighter provenance contracts and expiry semantics across reports and insights. Every claim keeps a live link back to the source it came from.

  • Provenance contracts enforced on reports and insights, not applied after the fact
  • Expiry semantics mark a claim as stale instead of letting it age silently
  • A claim without a live source link does not ship
v2.5New

Self-healing sources

Dead scrape URLs are detected and repaired automatically. When a source disappears for good, that is treated as an insight rather than a quiet hole in the data.

  • Dead URLs detected and repaired without anyone filing a ticket
  • A source that genuinely disappears surfaces as an insight in its own right
  • Coverage gaps stop being invisible
v2.4New

MCP Server v2

The agent-native layer. Query your competitive intelligence from Claude, Cursor or any MCP-aware tool, and write results back.

  • Tools for signals, competitor-move diffs, pricing, market landscape and recommendations
  • Writeback, so an agent can push findings back into your workspace
  • MCP Resources and Prompts included alongside the tools
v2.4New

Coordinated-move detection

When several competitors shift in the same direction at the same time, that is a market signal, not a competitor signal. It is now detected and labelled as one.

  • Detects concurrent moves in the same direction across a competitor set
  • Reported as a market-level signal rather than several separate competitor moves
v2.3New

More review sources

BBB, the App Store and the Play Store are now review source types, so customer sentiment is not read from software review sites alone.

  • BBB added as a review source type
  • App Store and Play Store reviews added as review source types
v2.2New

Market Pulse

A broad B2B signal layer covering the market around your competitor set — the companies you did not name, moving in the space you sell into.

  • Signals from the wider market, not only the competitors you track
  • Runs alongside your competitor set rather than replacing it
v2.1New

Trend metrics

Four new metric families that read change over time instead of a snapshot: webpage diffs, review segmentation, insight velocity, and ad-messaging and UTM intelligence.

  • Webpage diffs — what changed on a tracked page, and when
  • Review segmentation — sentiment broken out rather than averaged
  • Insight velocity — how fast a competitor is generating moves
  • Ad-messaging and UTM intelligence — what they are saying and where they are sending it
v2.0New

Hiring signals

Competitor job postings are tracked from LinkedIn, which turns headcount direction and role mix into something you can read week to week.

  • Job postings tracked from LinkedIn per competitor
  • Headcount direction and role mix surfaced as a signal, not a raw job list
