What problem does it solve?
AU indie sellers waste hours opening retailer tabs to see if a SKU price moved before they buy stock or set a launch price.
Who is it for?
Solo builders selling or buying in Australia who want agent-driven price checks with a generous read-only demo tier.
Skip if: Merchants who only need US/EU Amazon-centric data or full procurement ERP—not a six-tool comparison layer.

Who is Gridscoot for?
Australian solo sellers, flip operators, and builders who want Claude Code or Cursor to research retail pricing without leaving the agent.
