Three things that matter when you're choosing a monitoring tool for the long run.
Wachete detects changes and shows you what content was added or removed. Watchobots goes further: it reads the change in context and writes a plain-English summary with importance scoring. Instead of 'text changed on page X', you get: 'Their pricing section was updated — the Pro plan went from $49 to $59/mo. Importance: High.' You know what happened and whether to act on it, without opening the page.
Wachete's pricing scales with the number of pages and check frequency — great if you need high volume, but it requires more thought upfront. Watchobots has two paid tiers: Starter (10 pages, $9/mo) and Pro (30 pages, $14/mo). Pick one and start monitoring. No credits, no per-check math.
Wachete supports powerful features like macros, element selection, and conditional alerts — great if you need that control. Watchobots makes a different tradeoff: one mode, no selection, no conditions. Paste a URL and AI handles the filtering. If you're monitoring competitor pages, pricing pages, or changelogs, you likely don't need macros.
2 pages, no credit card, no setup. If you've been using Wachete, you'll be up and running in under 2 minutes.
