Best for watching web pages for changes with snapshots
ChangeTower watches pages and alerts you when their content changes, keeping dated snapshots and before-and-after diffs. The free plan covers 3 pages checked daily, hourly checks need Essential at $29, and a section-level watch is not on the cheapest plans.
Who ChangeTower is for
- Fits if you watch a short list of pages, like a competitor's pricing
- Works for small teams that want history of each change
Who ChangeTower is not for
- Tight if you stay free: 3 pages and daily checks
- Skip it if you need hourly checks cheaply, as they start at $29 a month on Essential
- Pricey if you want Slack, webhooks or element-level watching, which start on Business at $62
- Watch out: more than 200 pages means a sales-priced Enterprise plan

Keep ChangeTower, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of ChangeTower you could make: reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 3 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
It costs $120 a year.
What you could make
- Reports: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Capture tools hooked into the operating system.
- It plugs into other products, Slack, Webhooks and MCP among them, and has an API.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. ChangeTower’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.

Worth knowing
- The Free plan covers 3 pages and checks only daily.
- Hourly checks start on Essential at $36 per month billed monthly.
