What is MAP monitoring software?
It automatically tracks the prices your retailers advertise online, and alerts you the moment any listing falls below your minimum advertised price (MAP) policy.
Without it, your team spends hours manually checking listings across retailers and marketplaces. Even at small scale — 20 products and 5 retailers — the cost of weekly manual checking is already higher than the software itself.
MAP monitoring software replaces the entire manual process with automated, scheduled crawls, AI-powered product matching verified by humans, and enforcement-ready reports.
MAP monitoring is different from general competitor price tracking. It specifically protects your pricing integrity within your own distribution network: the retailers and resellers authorized to sell your products.
MAP vs MSRP vs RRP — and monitoring outside the US
Three acronyms, three levels of control. Knowing which one governs each of your markets decides what “compliance” even means, and what you can do about it.
MAP — Minimum Advertised Price
The lowest price a retailer may advertise. Primarily a US concept. A well-drafted MAP policy is enforceable, which is why minimum advertised price monitoring pairs naturally with an enforcement workflow.
MSRP — Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price
The price you suggest the product sells at. It anchors perceived value and channel margins, but on its own it's guidance. MSRP monitoring tracks how far the market drifts from it.
RRP — Recommended Retail Price
The term used across Europe and most of the world. In the EU, minimum resale prices generally can't be imposed on retailers. RRP monitoring is about visibility: who deviates, by how much, how often, and in which countries.
Set MAP, MSRP, or RRP values per product, per country, per currency. Altosight checks every captured price against the right one automatically.
US brands run the full detect-and-enforce loop. European and global brands turn RRP deviation data into leverage, no formal enforcement required:
- Allocate trade budget — steer co-op spend, support, and stock toward the retailers who hold your price.
- Control promo activity — verify agreed promotions run at the right price, in the right countries, and actually end on time.
- Watch non-client sellers — track resellers you have no contract with, including gray-market stock, before they reset your market price.
Without MAP monitoring, you don't have a policy — you have a suggestion
MAP compliance rarely breaks overnight. It drifts: a seller here, a channel there, a little more each quarter. Here's what consistent monitoring protects, and why catching drift early costs far less than reversing it later.

Key features to look for in MAP monitoring software
Not all MAP monitoring tools are equal. Here's what separates the ones that actually work from the ones that leave you frustrated six months in.
Broad retailer coverage
Direct retailer sites, major marketplaces, price comparison engines, and niche platforms. Anywhere your products are sold. Amazon-only is not enough.
AI matching, verified by humans
Over 99.9% accuracy. Matches work even when retailers have missing or inconsistent identifiers: EAN, UPC, ASIN, SKU. Human verification on edge cases.
Multi-country & currency
Set different MAP policies per country or currency. Monitor in local currency and compare against the right regional price, automatically.
Flexible monitoring schedule
Daily, weekly, multiple times per day, specific times and days — you choose the exact cadence. Always your schedule, never the vendor's.
Seller-level intelligence
Not just the Buy Box. Every seller on every product page, tracked over time, with repeat-offender detection and seller history.
Customizable reports & alerts
Fully customizable, exportable, and filterable reports. Real-time alerts via email or API webhooks — built for operations teams to act on immediately.

Amazing service & exceptional customer care! Ease of use, fully customizable, great customer care, high accuracy.
We moved from another repricing tool and we didn't know how much sales we were losing out on. Custom integration and support worked perfectly, and now we're trying to keep up with demand.
Altosight offers a very good software, at a very competitive price. At the same time they offer an excellent customer service support.

Frequently asked questions
MAP monitoring and competitor price tracking aren't the same thing:
- MAP monitoring protects your own distribution network — the retailers and resellers authorized to sell your products. The goal is enforcement of your pricing policy.
- Competitor price tracking looks at the broader market. It's typically used by retailers, not brands.
Altosight handles both, so brands selling direct-to-consumer can use the same platform for either job.
Over 99.9% across all matching scenarios.
Our AI-powered matching works even when retailers have inconsistent or missing identifiers (EAN, UPC, ASIN, SKU) — it uses product titles, images, and attribute similarity.
Every match goes through human verification on edge cases, so you start from a clean baseline on day one.
Most clients are fully live within 1 to 5 days.
The main variables are catalog size and how many custom retailers you need covered. No technical resources needed. The platform handles import, matching, and validation itself, and when you want us in the loop, customized onboarding and hands-on help are included.
Yes. Altosight supports the full enforcement flow:
- Timestamped violation records
- Complete seller history
- A built-in enforcement workflow for violator outreach — not just detection
Enforcement runs on top of monitoring as part of the platform, so your team can act on violations from the same place they're detected. That includes marketplaces — see our dedicated Amazon MAP monitoring & enforcement page. If enforcement automation is a priority, mention it on the call and we'll walk you through the workflow.
Plans start from $49/month.
Pricing scales with your catalog size, retailer count, check frequency, and any custom needs — every quote is tailored to your specific scenario. The easiest next step is a quick call or message to our team. We'll send a custom quote within 24 hours.
Yes. We offer a 14-day free trial covering up to 50 products across 3 websites and 1 marketplace — with full product access.

No credit card required upfront.
Yes to both:
- Free API access is included with every plan. Pull your data, push updates, automate whatever you need.
- Custom integrations with your existing tools (ERP, PIM, repricing software, BI platforms) are available as a paid service — we build the bridge for you.
- DIY integrations are always an option: if you have engineering resources, you can build your own connections using our API at no extra cost.
Yes. You can set MAP, MSRP, or RRP values per product, per country, and per currency — every captured price is evaluated against the right value for its market automatically.
Brands outside the US typically use this for RRP monitoring: tracking which retailers deviate from the recommended retail price, by how much, and how often — then managing it through retailer conversations and distribution decisions rather than US-style MAP enforcement.
