For Analysts
Snapshot market data in real time.
Build a competitive intelligence archive that compounds over time.
The web is the richest source of market intelligence available — but it's also the most volatile. Pricing pages change overnight. Competitor features appear and disappear. News cycles bury signals. Backdrop lets you capture the web's state at any moment and build a longitudinal record that reveals trends invisible in any single snapshot.
Competitor page archiving
Archive pricing, product, and positioning pages at regular intervals to track changes over time.
Screenshot comparison
Side-by-side screenshots show exactly what changed on a competitor's homepage or pricing page.
Clean text extraction
Extract just the content from any page for cleaner analysis and faster summarization.
Intelligence collections
Organize archives by competitor, market vertical, or signal type into structured collections.
Full-text search
Surface patterns across dozens of archived pages instantly with full-text search.
Shareable briefings

How it works

Competitor product pages, pricing pages, press releases, job boards, regulatory filings.
Build an ongoing archive

Compile and share
Group archives into a briefing collection and share with your team or leadership.
“We caught a competitor quietly removing a pricing tier before they made any public announcement. We had the Backdrop archive from two weeks prior. That gave us two weeks of strategic lead time.”
