- You already have an active integration or account with Prisync.
- You do not need graded recommendations, an audit trail, or French/Spanish localization.
- Your catalog fits Prisync's published per-product tiers better than MarginTide's plan ladder.

When to choose MarginTide

- You want graded recommendations with rationale, evidence and an audit trail, not just a raw price feed.
- Your team works in English, French (Canadian) or Spanish and bills in USD or CAD.
- You are a small or mid-size team, not an enterprise implementation project.
How switching works

- Add the retailers you want tracked against each product.
- Run your first price check the same day; recommendations arrive graded, with evidence and rationale.
- Keep Prisync running during your evaluation — switching to MarginTide never requires cancelling Prisync first.
