Website Change Monitor & Diff Tracker - Page Change Alerts

Watch pricing pages, terms and policies, documentation, product pages or competitor sites for content changes. Each run compares the page text with the previous run and returns a clear added / removed lines diff.

$0.00049 per page check. No change fee and no start fee: checking one page every day costs about $0.0147 a month. Pages that fail are free, and their stored snapshot is kept.

Why this one

  • Clear added / removed lines diff per page, with ignore patterns for dates and counters, watch keywords and an only-significant-changes filter.
  • $0.00049 per page check, no change fee and no start fee: a daily check of one page is about $0.0147 a month. The most-used rival (48 users) charges $0.10 per site monitored.
  • Pages that fail are free, and their stored snapshot is kept, so one bad run never resets your baseline.

Screenshots

From a real Console run, 27 Oct 2026 (run fml1E84j5fRyLzPjX): public RFC 9309 page (rfc9309.html) checked against its 14 Oct 2026 snapshot: status unchanged; 1 example.com canary failed (not charged).

Quick start: example input, output and cost

Track changes on competitor, pricing and policy pages: clean added/removed text diffs, main-content mode, schedule and alert. $0.49 per 1,000 page checks.

Example input

{
"urls": [
"https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9309.html"
]
}

Cost example: 20 pages checked daily for 30 days = 600 checks x $0.00049 = $0.29/month.

How to use

  1. Add your URLs and pick a monitorName.
  2. The first run stores a baseline (status: "baseline").
  3. Schedule the actor (hourly, daily...). Every later run returns status: "changed" or "unchanged" per page.
  4. Alert on changes: Apify integrations (Slack, email, webhook) or filter the dataset on status = changed.

What changed, in one line

Every changed page gets a summary such as $29 -> $39 (+34.5%); 10 seats -> 5 seats (-50.0%); watch words: per month; 1 line(s) added, 1 removed.

  • numberChanges: each number that changed on a line, paired with its old value: prices (1.299,00 €, $39, 12 euro), percentages, plan limits (10 seats, 5 GB, 1,000 requests), opening times (9:00 -> 10:00) and years. Money and quantities include the percentage change.
  • keywordHits: added or removed lines that mention a watch word. The built-in list covers price, fee, refund, cancel, terms, privacy, limit, discontinued and more; set watchKeywords to use your own.
  • significance: high (a price, a percentage or a watch word changed), medium (another number changed), low (wording only).
  • onlySignificantChanges: report wording-only edits as unchanged (with minorChangeIgnored: true) so your alerts fire only when something you'd act on changed.

This works on any page, including pricing tables with several plans, without CSS selectors.

Fewer false alerts

  • Main-content mode ignores navigation, footers, cookie banners and sidebars.
  • Ignore patterns strip dates, counters or rotating text before comparing.
  • minChangedChars suppresses tiny edits.

Output

url, status (baseline/changed/unchanged), significance, summary, numberChanges[], keywordHits[], minorChangeIgnored, added[], removed[], addedCount, removedCount, changedChars, changeRatio, textHash, previousCheckAt, checkedAt.

Limits

  • It reads the HTML the server sends (no browser), so text, links or markup added later by JavaScript are not seen.
  • It compares text, not layout or images, so a changed picture or colour is not reported.
  • The first run of a monitor is a baseline; changes are reported from the second run on.
  • Pages that change on every load (rotating text, counters) need ignore patterns, or every run will show a change.

Responsible use

We follow robots.txt (RFC 9309), fetch each page once per run at about one request per second per site, use an honest User-Agent (ChangeMonitor/1.0), and never log in or bypass bot protection. Emails and phone numbers are redacted before storing. Social networks and profile sites are not monitored. Pages that need JavaScript to render their text are out of scope.
