A simple Visualping alternative
Both tools watch a webpage and tell you when it changes. They differ in how they price it: Visualping sells monthly check allowances across several tiers, while Web Change Monitor has three flat plans priced by monitors and check speed. Here is how they line up, and who each suits.
Visualping is a website change monitoring service with a free plan and paid plans that add pages and faster checks.

Questions
Which is cheaper, Visualping or Web Change Monitor?
For a handful of pages, Web Change Monitor costs less: its paid plans are $4 a month (10 monitors, hourly) and $8 a month (25 monitors, every 15 minutes). Visualping’s first paid plan is $14 a month for 10 pages checked every 15 minutes. Visualping has larger plans for hundreds of pages, which Web Change Monitor does not.
Which free plan is better?
Visualping’s free plan checks as often as hourly, against every 6 hours or daily on Web Change Monitor’s free plan. Both allow 5 pages. If frequent checks on a free plan matter most, Visualping is ahead there.
Do I need to install anything for Web Change Monitor?
No. It runs on our servers, so there is no browser extension or app to install. You add a URL, optionally click the part of the page you care about, and choose how often to check.
