Website Change Monitor

A website change monitor checks a page on a schedule and alerts you when the content changes. The useful ones tell you what moved. The rest send a screenshot of a cookie banner and call it a day.

If you already open the same pricing URL every morning, you are the monitor. That habit dies the first week you travel. A hosted check keeps running when the laptop is shut.

Pixel watch versus a read of the page

Visualping is built for a highlighted rectangle. Distill wants a CSS path. Those tools are honest about that job. AyeWatch reads the page the way a colleague would: did the plan names, the price, or the legal clause change? Layout jitter should stay quiet.

Read the website change monitoring guide if you want the longer method list. This page is the product version. Paste the URL. Name the change. Get the ping.

How often to check

Daily is enough for a careers page that updates twice a month. Pricing and TOS pages that can move on a Friday afternoon need a faster interval. Free Preview is Daily or slower, six lifetime runs, three topics, push and in-app. Pro is $9 a month, 50 topics, six-hour checks. Paid adds email, Slack, Discord, and webhooks. Max and Ultra are ASAP if minutes are the product.

AyeWatch is not an uptime ping. If the site is down, use Pingdom. If the copy changed, use a monitor that summarizes the copy. A 500 from the origin and a $10 price cut are different events. Mixing them in one tool is how both channels get muted.

Start with one stubborn URL

Pick the page you already feel guilty about not checking. Write one sentence: "Tell me when the listed price or the included features change." Run it. If the first alert is a real change, add the next URL. If it is noise, tighten the rule instead of adding more pages.

You can monitor a website without code. No selector. No self-hosted Docker box. The hosted version is the point. If you already have Docker running ChangeDetection and like it, keep it. This page is for people who do not want another box to patch.
