Welcome

What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first

2.4

GPA, above 44 of the 91 other technical SEO tools we grade

ChangeTower watches web pages and alerts a team when their content changes. It keeps dated snapshots of each page, shows before-and-after differences, and can watch whole pages, single sections or specific keywords. Plans are sized by the number of pages monitored and how often they are checked.

To get you started, here are 9 things to know about ChangeTower, taken from its own pages and our grades.

You pick pages and set what counts as a change.

  • Works for small teams that want history of each change

Who it is not for

  • 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

  • Hourly checks start on Essential at $36 per month billed monthly.
  • Selective monitoring, Slack and webhooks are not on the lowest plans.

Keep it, or make your own?

Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.

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.
