How do I check prices from a list of URLs?
You start with a column of product page addresses, from a supplier, a competitor list you keep yourself, or your own catalogue. You show Izly one product page and point at the name, the price and the stock text. Then you paste the column, press Run, and every page is visited and read in turn.
The result is a table: the address, the name, price and stock you read, a Status and a Note. Download it as CSV for a spreadsheet, or copy it. The table lives only in your browser.
Is this price tracking?
If today’s prices from a list are all you need, you start the run, wait, and download a sheet. Starting it yourself also keeps you in charge of what is visited.
What does a worked example look like?
The practice shop at /practice-form/shop, linked from the practice form, has 24 products, six per page over four pages (/practice-form/shop?page=1 to 4). Each product is on its own page, for example https://izly.io/practice-form/shop/product/1, with a name, a price in USD (9.00 to 480.00), an “In stock” or “Sold out” text (six of 24 are sold out) and a product code such as PRD-0001. A sample table with 10 product addresses is there to download; one of them points at product 99, which does not exist.
- Record one product visit. While recording, click the name, the price and the stock text.
- On the Izly site set each of those three steps to “Copy from page” and save it into its own saved value. For the price choose “Keep only the number”.
- Make the address of the opening step come from the address column (“With saved values”).
- Paste the 10 addresses, try the first 3 rows, then run the rest. On Free a table run takes at most 5 rows.
- Download the result table.
| Address | Name | Price | Stock | Status | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| https://izly.io/practice-form/shop/product/1 | from the page | from the page | In stock | Done | |
| https://izly.io/practice-form/shop/product/2 | from the page | from the page | Sold out | Done | |
| https://izly.io/practice-form/shop/product/99 | Failed | not found (404) |
We have tested the real version of this: 25 product pages read for title, price and review count and typed into a form, with a price rule. Read the method in full in read values from web pages into a CSV.
Can I flag prices above a limit?
Yes. A rule can say: if the price is above a number, skip this row or stop, with a note. The note lands in the result table, so the rows that need a look are easy to find. Copy the price with “Keep only the number”, so “$1,250.00” becomes 1250 and the rule can compare it with a number. In the practice shop five of the 24 products cost more than 240, so “if the price is above 240, skip this row” flags exactly those five.
Is it allowed to read prices from other sites?
It depends on each site’s terms, and where a site offers an official feed, an export or an API, that is the better route. You sign in yourself where a login is needed, and Izly never stores passwords. Read a modest list, in your own browser, at the pace of a person. This is general information, not legal advice.
What can it not do?
- No monitoring and no alerts.
- No schedule. A person starts every run, in Chrome on a desktop.
- It is not a crawler. It reads the addresses you give it and follows what you recorded.
- One automation at a time per browser.
- Pages that change their layout need a touch-up of the recording.
What do I need to start?
Izly is a Chrome extension that turns a task you do once in your browser into a step-by-step guide, a narrated video and a no-code automation that repeats the task. You need the extension and a table of addresses. Free allows 10 runs a month and a table run takes at most 5 rows; Pro, at 10 USD per creator per month, has no row limit. The table and results never leave the browser. See pricing.
Frequently asked questions
Can Izly track prices over time?
No. It reads a list when you press Run and writes a result table. It does not monitor, keep a price history or send alerts. Run it yourself when you want fresh numbers and keep the downloaded CSV files if you want a history.
How many products can I check at once?
On Free a table run takes at most 5 rows. Pro has no row limit. Product pages with long waits take longer per row than simple ones.
What if a product page is gone?
A page that answers with an error such as 404 fails that row with that reason, and the run goes on with the next address or stops and asks, as you chose. The row shows Failed in the result table, with the reason in the Note.
Can I get the result in Excel?
Yes. Download the result table as a CSV file that Excel opens, or copy it and paste it into Excel or Google Sheets. The table is kept only in your browser.

Record it once and let the guide write itself
With Izly you do the task once in the browser. Clicks and screenshots become a step-by-step guide that you edit, share, turn into a narrated video or run again for every row of a table.
