Website change monitoring FAQ

It checks the public pages your business depends on, such as competitor pricing, product pages, vendor terms and regulator notices, and tells you in plain English what changed and whether it matters. It answers one question, what changed on this page, which is different from uptime monitoring (is the site up) and brand mention tracking (who mentions you). See track website changes for the full flow.

Paste the URL, optionally pick one element on it, choose how often to check and how sensitive the comparison should be, and pick where alerts go. The first check stores Version 1, and every later check compares against the last version.

Yes. The home page has a demo: paste any public page and see its first snapshot and a summary of what changed since an earlier public capture, with no card and no account. There is no free plan beyond that one demo.

Any page that anyone can open without signing in: pricing pages, product pages, terms and privacy policies, career pages, press pages, changelogs and agency notices. Teams use it to monitor competitors and to monitor terms of service changes.

Pages behind a login, a paywall or a CAPTCHA, and pages the site owner excludes in robots.txt. We never log in on your behalf, never solve CAPTCHAs, never bypass access controls and fetch politely per host.

Yes. Choose a CSS selector or click the element on the snapshot, for example a pricing table, a price block or a list of open roles. Everything else on the page is ignored for that monitor.

Yes, on Growth and above. Price and stock extraction reads the price and availability from a product or pricing page and keeps their history. See competitor price monitoring.

One or two plain sentences that explain a real change, for example "Pro plan price raised from 79 to 99 USD per month; annual discount removed", with an importance score of low, medium or high. Summaries run only on a filtered change. Read more about AI website monitoring.

Email on every plan. Slack, Microsoft Teams and webhooks on Growth and above. Business adds digests per team. Details on the website change alert page.
