Hexowatch now points to OR:ON, which watches pages, RSS, sitemaps and JSON and uses AI to describe what changed. Checks and AI analysis spend tokens, only the Plus plan's limits are shown on the page, and the old Hexowatch plans weren't readable. - **Value for money: C.** $10.50 a month on yearly billing for Personal ($15 monthly), just above the category's $10 cheaper quarter. Plus is $38.50 for 50 watches. - **Free plan and trial: C.** A free plan with no card, but its watch and token limits aren't shown, so we can't say how far it goes. - **Features: C.** Several watch types, AI change analysis, proxies and alerts. Checks and proxy visits use tokens, so the allowance caps the work, and only Plus shows its limits. - **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. You set up each watch and decide what to be told about. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web only, with Slack, webhooks and an MCP. These are ToolGPA's own grades.
