The part where we do the reading

Every morning Scoper reads news sites, press releases, trade press and company blogs, in several languages, and throws most of it away. Here’s one real run on BindiMaps, straight from Scoper’s logs.

Pipeline diagram of one real run on BindiMaps: ingest (news search and the company's own site) found 11 articles. Source check dropped 1 spam domain, date check dropped 1 older than 45 days, entity match dropped 7 not about BindiMaps, relevance dropped 1 generic blog post. One reached the output: "BindiMaps launches TruStep certification and PathView unified platform", impact 65 out of 100, critical, sent to the feed, as an alert and in the Monday brief. Every rejection is logged with its stage and reason.

“We follow more than a dozen competitors. Scoper puts the few moves that matter in front of us every Monday, instead of someone losing a day to searching.”
GeogramaBusiness Development
“Our competitors are small studios that rarely make the news. Scoper picks up their launches straight from their own sites and blogs, which is exactly what our Google alerts and AI prompts kept missing.”
KalkinManaging Director
“Half our competitors share a name with something else, so searches came back full of noise. Scoper filters that out, and the same-day alerts mean we hear about a rival’s new contract before our clients do.”

Who Scoper is for

Small B2B teams with more competitors than time, many of them too small for anyone else to be watching.

Founders

Walk into every investor call knowing the market

What competitors launched, raised and who they hired, without losing your Monday to Google.

Marketing & product

Keep positioning and battlecards current

Spot a rival’s new feature, pricing change or messaging shift the week it happens, not the quarter after.

Sales

Know what a rival just announced before the call

When a prospect brings up a competitor, you’ve already read the news and know how to answer.

A good fit if

  • You watch 5 to 30 competitors, including small ones
  • You want the news read for you, not another dashboard to check
  • A $20k-a-year intelligence tool isn’t in the budget

Probably not for you if

  • You only follow two or three household names: a news alert or an AI prompt covers that
  • You need a full enterprise programme with analysts and win-loss workflows: Crayon or Klue are built for that

The question everyone asks first

Why not just ask ChatGPT or Claude?

Fair question: Scoper uses Claude too, to read every article. And yes, you can schedule a prompt to email you every Monday. But that’s a search that lands in one inbox and starts from zero each time. Scoper is a watch your whole team shares, and it remembers. On news, independent research also says you can’t take a chatbot’s word for it.

45%

of AI assistants’ answers about the news had at least one significant problem. 31% had serious sourcing issues: missing, misleading or wrong.

EBU and BBC study of 3,000+ answers from ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini and Perplexity, October 2025

60%+

of the time, AI search tools couldn’t correctly say which article, outlet and date a news quote came from, and they rarely admitted they weren’t sure.

However well you write the prompt, even on a schedule, there are five things it can’t do.

It lands in one person’s inbox

A scheduled prompt is yours alone. You forward it, and nobody knows what a colleague already read or ruled out. Scoper is one feed for the whole team: everyone sees the same stories, the Monday brief and alerts reach every member, and when someone dismisses a story it disappears for everyone and Scoper learns from it.

1 in 4

It only sees what search ranks

A small competitor’s blog post rarely makes it into search results. Scoper also reads their blog and news pages directly. Since August, 1 in 4 stories Scoper kept came from there, not from the news.

It gets dates and sources wrong

We measured it. Asked what 24 companies did in the last 30 days, Claude’s answers included 23 to 33 events from before that window, every run. Scoper’s feed included none: it takes every story’s date from the page itself, drops anything it can’t date, and links each one to its source.

It can’t see what changed

A rival raises prices on Tuesday. Ask a chatbot on Friday and it sees today’s page, with nothing to compare it to. Scoper keeps yesterday’s copy of the page you pick and tells you exactly what moved.

It forgets everything between runs

Each scheduled run is a new session, by design: nothing tells it what it reported last week, so stories come back and nothing builds up. Users of ChatGPT’s daily tasks have reported getting the same headlines day after day. Scoper keeps every story your team has seen, so the same article never returns, and keeps a searchable history of everything it found.

Watching two or three household names, just for yourself? Honestly, a scheduled prompt is fine for that. Scoper earns its keep when a team follows many competitors, every day.

How it starts

No import, no setup call. Describe your business, pick your competitors, and the reading starts the same day.

  1. About two minutes

    Tell Scoper about your business

    Paste your website. Scoper drafts your profile: what you sell, to whom, and what counts as a competitor. Fix anything it got wrong.

  2. A couple more

    Pick your competitors

    Scoper suggests them, including local players you might not have on your list. Keep the ones that matter, add any it missed.

  3. Same day

    The first scan starts right away

    Scoper looks back up to a year and reads everything it finds. Your feed fills in as it runs; from then on it reads the news every morning. The first Monday brief lands the following Monday.

The hidden cost

Keeping up with competitors quietly costs you a day a week

Searching, opening links, checking dates, working out which “Kestrel” it is. Most of what you find isn’t about your competitors at all.

1.8 ha day

is what the average knowledge worker spends searching for and gathering information. Close to one working day a week.

10 of 11results

that a web search returned about one competitor were about another company, spam or out of date. Scoper threw out all ten and sent on the one that mattered. By hand, someone reads all eleven to find it.

And the hours aren’t the expensive part. The expensive part is the price cut you hear about from a prospect, or the launch you notice a quarter late.

Pricing that makes sense

Enterprise tools like Crayon and Klue typically cost $20,000+ a year. We do most of what they do for a fraction of the cost. Team comes with a 14-day trial: you add a card, nothing is charged until day 15, and you can cancel from your settings before then.
