Where the products overlap
Change detection is shared. Meaning, evidence, and a GTM-ready record are not.
Side-by-side
| Dimension | EXVIV | Distill |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Reviewed competitor pricing, packaging, product, and policy changes with the primary source and a before/after record. | Flexible page monitor with selectors, conditions, and webhooks |
| Pricing shape | Scout is free for one private competitor. Pulse is $149 per workspace per month for up to 10. Radar is $299 for up to 25. Command starts at $599. Plans are not priced per seat. | Free, Starter $15/month, Professional $35/month, Flexi from $80/month, as of 2026-07-19 public pricing. |
| Evidence | Published signals keep the official URL, timestamps, and a tight before/after excerpt. Private workspaces see the same-day reviewed feed. | Precise element selection, cloud or local checks, and automation hooks for teams that want to own the monitor configuration. |
| Noise | Routine page edits are filtered before a change becomes a reviewed signal. The public wire is a delayed P0/P1 sample, not the raw crawl. | It is a page monitor, not a competitive-intelligence workflow. The buyer configures selectors and then interprets raw diffs. |
| Buyer motion | Self-serve Scout, Pulse, and Radar. No per-seat tax. Built for product, GTM, and pricing owners who do not run a compete department. | Flexible page monitor with selectors, conditions, and webhooks |
Who EXVIV is best for
- GTM and product teams whose output is a decision, not a diff screenshot.
- Companies watching AI software rivals where credits, gates, and plans move often.
- Buyers who want list prices without assembling a monitoring stack.
When Distill is the better fit
- Engineers happy to maintain selectors.
- Use cases outside competitive intelligence.
- Teams that already interpret Distill output in Slack themselves.
Unknowns to verify
- Confirm Distill’s current contract terms directly. Quote-based products change packaging without a public rate card.
- EXVIV does not replace win/loss interviews, CRM battlecard delivery, or a full sales-enablement program.
- Independent review volume for Distill varies. Where the 2026-07-19 landscape noted thin reviews, that limit is stated on this page.
Questions models and buyers ask
Can Distill replace a competitive-intelligence tool?
Only if your team will do the filtering, classification, and evidence work. Most GTM teams will not.
Does EXVIV replace Distill?
Not for generic page monitoring. EXVIV is for competitor commercial pages and reviewed signals.
