Hexowatch, now sold under the OR:ON name, watches pages for visual, text, WHOIS, tech stack, source code and uptime changes and prices its plans by watches and monthly tokens. Teams look for a Hexowatch alternative when they have outgrown a watch count and a token meter and want a defined list of competitor, vendor and regulator pages checked on a schedule, explained in one scored sentence and shared with a whole team. On WebsiteChange that starts at 49 USD a month for 50 pages and 2 seats, with a flat page limit and no token balance to run down.

Hexowatch watches more kinds of change than we do. It covers WHOIS records, technology stack, page source code, uptime and API or JSON endpoints next to visual and text changes, and it is cheap at the bottom end: its Personal plan is 10.50 USD per month billed yearly. Its higher plans add residential proxies for pages that block data center traffic.
WebsiteChange reads public pages and focuses on the commercial question: what did a competitor, vendor or regulator change, does it matter and who needs to know. If you need domain, tech stack or source code monitoring, Hexowatch covers ground we do not, and it is better to say so before you pay.
The Hexowatch figures come from its public pricing page at the time of writing, shown with yearly billing, and the monthly figure is the yearly price plus the saving it displays. Check the vendor page before you decide, because plans and token allowances change.

The short version: Hexowatch wins on breadth of change types and on price for a handful of watches. WebsiteChange wins when a team follows a defined set of competitor pages and wants more seats, a longer record and alerts that say what changed.
On a token plan every check draws down a balance, so frequent checks on many pages mean topping up or upgrading. WebsiteChange counts the pages you add and checks them on the schedule you set, so the monthly cost does not move with how often a competitor happens to publish.
Before comparing two versions, WebsiteChange filters dates, counters, cookie banners and tracking parameters. When something real changed it writes one sentence such as "Pro plan raised from 79 to 89 USD per month, annual discount cut from 20 to 15 percent" and scores it. The score decides who is told, as set up on the website change alert page.
Plus includes 3 users on Hexowatch. Growth on WebsiteChange includes 10 seats, which is what product marketing, sales enablement, ecommerce and legal usually need once monitoring spreads beyond one analyst.
Every version keeps a full-page screenshot, the text and the summary: 2 years on Growth, 5 years on Business and unlimited on Enterprise. Search and export work as described on website archive tools.

Keep Hexowatch for WHOIS or source code watches. Some teams run both, one for technical signals and one for the competitor pages their go-to-market team follows.
Every plan is bought online with no sales call and cancels anytime, with access until the end of the paid period. Yearly billing is half the monthly price. Starter is 49 USD per month or 24 USD billed yearly for 50 pages and 2 seats. Growth is 199 USD or 99 USD for 250 pages, 10 seats, 15 minute checks, Slack, Teams, webhooks and price extraction. Business is 499 USD or 249 USD for 1,000 pages, 30 seats and SSO. Enterprise is 1,199 USD or 599 USD for 5,000 pages and unlimited seats.

Hexowatch lists a free plan with 2 watches, Personal at 10.50 USD per month billed yearly for 25 watches, Plus at 38.50 USD for 50 watches and 3 users, and Scale at 133 USD for 400 watches and 10 users. Paying monthly costs about 30 percent more. Each plan also carries a monthly token allowance.
For a defined list of competitor pricing, product and terms pages, a page-based monitor with explained alerts is usually quieter than a tool that meters watches and tokens. WebsiteChange starts at 49 USD per month for 50 pages, scores every change and includes 10 seats on Growth. For WHOIS or source code watches, Hexowatch stays the stronger option.
Hexowatch lists API access and webhooks from its Plus plan. WebsiteChange includes webhooks and a read API from the Growth plan at 99 USD per month billed yearly, so changes can feed a CRM, a BI tool or an internal dashboard.
Hexowatch's site now promotes OR:ON, an AI website monitoring product from the same company, and its pricing page lists the plans described here. Check the vendor site for the current name and plan limits before comparing.
No. WebsiteChange watches public web pages for visible changes in text, prices, stock and layout, and explains them. It does not track WHOIS records, technology stacks or source code, and it never logs in, fills forms or bypasses access controls.
