The Scenario
Your manager handed off an Excel workbook with 20 competitor pricing page URLs in column A and a note that just says "get me the plan names and prices." She left for a flight two hours ago.
You open the first URL. The page has three pricing tiers, a toggle between monthly and annual, and a "Contact us" button where the enterprise price should be. You open the second URL. Same structure, different tiers, different currency. You're now on row 3 of 20 and it's already 4:15 PM.
The bad version:
- Open each URL manually in a browser tab.
- Read through the pricing section, decode the toggle state, identify plan names and monthly costs.
- Type the values into columns B and C, row by row, praying the tab you're reading matches the row you're writing to.
The intelligence work you were actually supposed to do — compare the tiers, spot the patterns, build the battle card — hasn't started yet. You're still in the data collection phase and the day is nearly gone.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Excel workbook. It reads your workbook, understands the structure, and through its built-in Linkup integration it can fetch each URL in column A and extract the fields you need — no browser tabs, no manual reading.
For each URL in column A, use Linkup to fetch the page content and extract the pricing plan names and monthly prices into columns B and C.
SheetXAI sends each URL to Linkup's fetch-webpage tool, which returns clean Markdown content from the rendered page, then extracts the plan names and prices and writes them into the correct columns. All 20 URLs, one pass.
What You Get
- Column B: the pricing plan names as listed on the page (e.g., "Starter", "Pro", "Business").
- Column C: the monthly price for each plan, extracted as a number or as "Contact us" where no public price is listed.
- Rows where the page doesn't load or returns no pricing data are written with "fetch failed" in column D rather than left blank.
- The run completes in a single prompt — no per-URL action required.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
Some URLs in column A are broken or redirect to a login wall
Linkup will return an error or a login page for those rows instead of pricing content.
Fetch each URL in column A using Linkup. If the fetch returns a login page or an error, write "inaccessible" in column D and leave columns B and C blank for that row. Otherwise extract plan names into column B and monthly prices into column C.
The page shows prices in multiple currencies and you need only USD
Several pages toggle between USD and EUR depending on the visitor's location setting.
For each URL in column A, fetch the page using Linkup and extract only the USD pricing plan names and monthly costs into columns B and C. If no USD price is listed, write "non-USD" in column C.
You need a third field — the number of seats or users included per plan
The workbook only has two output columns but you realize you also need the seat count to make the comparison useful.
For each URL in column A, fetch the page with Linkup and write the plan name into column B, the monthly price into column C, and the included seat count or user limit into column D. Write "not listed" if the page doesn't specify.
You want to combine the fetch with a competitor summary in one shot
You need the raw price data and a one-sentence "positioning note" for each competitor, all in one pass.
Fetch each competitor pricing page in column A using Linkup. Write plan names into column B, monthly prices into column C, and a one-sentence positioning note based on the page content into column D — all from a single Linkup fetch per URL.
One prompt handles the full extraction and the editorial layer at the same time.
