Competitor rate & availability tracking

See when a comp-set hotel changes its rates, availability or offers

OwlSonar automatically checks your competitors’ own sites and public OTA listings every day — room rates by date, availability, packages and new openings — and tells you what changed, so you stop rate-shopping by hand.

The pain

You find out from the pickup report.

Bookers see a rival’s rate cut the instant it happens. You see it when occupancy softens — days too late.

01

Rivals reprice your weekends in the dark

A comp-set hotel quietly drops its Friday–Saturday rate 16% on a shoulder weekend. Guests see it immediately; you see it in the pickup report, after the dates are already lost.

02

Manual rate-shopping eats the morning

Checking 6–10 properties across Booking.com, Expedia and brand.com for the dates that matter is tedious and error-prone — so on busy weeks it just doesn’t happen.

03

Non-price moves never hit your spreadsheet

A new spa package, a renovated rival, or a serviced-apartment block opening 800m away reshapes demand — and never shows up in a rate-shop until your numbers dip.

Tracked surfaces

Four signals that move your occupancy.

Added automatically when you paste a competitor’s domain or OTA page.

Room rates by date

What we watch
  • Lead-in and BAR rates per night
  • Moves on shoulder and low-demand dates
  • Direct (brand.com) vs OTA price gaps
  • Member- and logged-in-rate drops
Example alert

Hotel Lumière dropped Fri–Sat BAR for 18–19 Jul €189 → €159 (−16%) — 2 of your 6 comp set now undercut you

Availability & restrictions

What we watch
  • Sold-out and last-room flags
  • Minimum-stay and length-of-stay rules
  • Non-refundable vs flexible rate mix
  • Closed-to-arrival dates
Example alert

Casa Verde is sold out for the 12–14 Sep conference weekend — you still have flexible inventory and pricing headroom

Packages & offers

What we watch
  • New stay packages — spa, dining, long-stay
  • “Book direct & save” and early-bird campaigns
  • Stackable OTA promos and badges
  • Value-adds: breakfast, late checkout, parking
Example alert

The Wharf launched “Stay 3, pay 2” + breakfast on direct through October — no comp-set hotel had a multi-night deal last week

Openings & amenities

What we watch
  • New properties and room types
  • Renovations, rebrands and repositioning
  • New amenities — spa, EV charging, co-working
  • Inventory and capacity expansion
Example alert

Aria Suites added 24 serviced apartments 800m from you — opening Sep at a €135 intro rate

Why revenue teams switch

Price the dates that matter, before they’re gone.

Catch weekend rate cuts without opening Booking.com

A comp-set drop on a shoulder date reaches you as a clean alert — in time to match, hold, or protect the dates instead of explaining the dip later.

See new packages and openings early

A rival’s new package or a new property nearby reshapes demand. Know it from their page, not from your occupancy three weeks on.

Retire the rate-shop spreadsheet

Define your comp set and the dates you care about once; get one daily summary in Slack or email instead of a manual morning round.
