# Rewalto and 42Signals: which fits your shelf?

42Signals and Rewalto both read price and stock on Indian shopping apps, including Blinkit, Zepto and Swiggy Instamart. 42Signals says it also covers marketplaces outside India and offers MAP monitoring. Rewalto is narrower: readings by pin code, each figure with its source (the page address, the time it was read and the text it came from), for teams and for AI agents.

## Where Rewalto fits

- You want a record you can hand to a retailer: each reading names its pin code and its source: the page address, the time it was read and the text the figure came from.
- You want the same readings inside your own tools or AI agent, by API or MCP (preview). [API, CLI and MCP (preview)](https://rewalto.com/developers)

## Questions to ask any vendor, including us

1. Which apps, cities and pin codes are read today, and can you show that list with a date?
2. Is a reading for a pin code, a city or a state, and which one does the number you show me use?
3. How often is each app read, and how old can a reading be?
4. Can you show the source of a number: the page address, the time it was read and the text it came from?
5. When a retailer changes its page layout, is the reading marked as uncertain or shown as if nothing happened?
6. 42Signals says “Pin-code level quick commerce visibility no other platform offers.” Ask how many pin codes are read in your city and how that list changes.

Our own answers to the shelf questions are on the [method page](https://rewalto.com/10-minute-shelf/method) and the [data coverage page](https://rewalto.com/data/coverage). How the data reaches your app or AI agent is in the [quick commerce API guide for India](https://rewalto.com/guides/quick-commerce-api-india).

## Questions before you start

Does 42Signals track quick commerce by pin code?

Its home page, as we read it on 29 October 2026, says: “42Signals tracks pin-code and dark-store level availability across Blinkit, Zepto, and Swiggy Instamart”. Ask 42Signals for the list of pin codes it reads for you.

Does Rewalto do MAP monitoring like 42Signals?

No. Rewalto reads price, stock and listings, with the pin code and date, and does not sell MAP monitoring or enforcement. See the glossary entry for MAP.

Something on this page is wrong or out of date. What do I do?

Tell us through the contact page with the address of the page and what changed. Each statement about another company here is a quotation from its own website with the date we read it, so it can be out of date, and we will check the request and correct or explain in writing.

## Look at your own products by pin code.

See where your products are missing, mispriced or out of stock, with the pin code and the time of each reading.
