How does Tomiru find my competitors?

Enter your website and location. AI searches your local area for businesses in the same industry and automatically identifies everyone competing for the same customers. You don't need to provide competitor URLs.

Is the first report really free?

Yes. Your first competitor report is completely free, no credit card required. You'll see what competitors near you are charging, what services they offer, and whether they're running ads. After that, real-time alerts start at $25/month.

What does Tomiru track about my competitors?

Tomiru monitors competitor websites for price changes, new services, special offers, and ad campaigns on Google, Facebook, and Instagram. It compares everything to your business and tells you what you can do about it.

How is Tomiru different from Visualping or Distill?

Visualping and Distill watch a single page and tell you when it changed. Tomiru finds your competitors for you, tracks all of them at once, extracts actual prices and services, monitors ad campaigns, compares findings to your business, and gives you AI recommendations.

How fast do I get alerts?

On paid plans, Tomiru monitors continuously and alerts you the moment a competitor changes a price, launches an ad, or adds a service. Starter sends email alerts, Pro adds SMS and WhatsApp. Ultimate monitors all competitors non-stop.

Yes. Tomiru only collects public business data — prices, services, and offers that competitors publish openly on their websites. We use official search APIs, respect robots.txt, rate-limit our requests, and never bypass logins or use fake accounts.

What types of businesses use Tomiru?

Tomiru is built for local service businesses: dental clinics, law firms, salons, spas, real estate agents, physiotherapy practices, and restaurants. If you have competitors nearby and a website, Tomiru works for you.

Do I need to install anything?

No. Tomiru is fully web-based. Enter your website, get your report by email. Alerts come to your email, phone via SMS, or WhatsApp. No dashboards to log into, no software to install.

Tomiru vs Crayon: Local Business Competitor Tracking vs Enterprise Intelligence

Crayon is a serious competitive intelligence platform — for enterprise sales teams tracking hundreds of competitors across markets. If you're a dentist in Austin with 3 competitors nearby, spending $720/month on battle cards and Salesforce integrations doesn't make sense. Tomiru gives you what you actually need: a clear email when a competitor changes their prices.
