PageCrawl.io

PageCrawl.io is a versatile tool designed to monitor website changes efficiently. It utilizes a JavaScript-enabled browser to track updates on any webpage, including price changes, text modifications, and more. Users can receive instant alerts whenever changes occur, making it ideal for staying informed about important updates without constant manual checks.

One of the key features of PageCrawl.io is its ability to monitor password-protected pages and track changes in various file types such as PDF, XLSX, DOCX, and more. The app also provides an easy-to-use page element selector, allowing users to specify exactly which elements of a webpage they want to track. Advanced users can refine their tracking by manually specifying CSS/XPath selectors.

PageCrawl.io supports archiving snapshots of monitored pages, which is useful for compliance and maintaining historical records of changes.

The app is particularly useful for competitor tracking, allowing users to monitor competitor sites for updates in pricing, product details, or marketing strategies. This provides valuable market insights and helps users stay competitive. Additionally, PageCrawl.io can automatically update tracked pages in Google Sheets, enabling users to analyze changes in timeline charts for a comprehensive view of website evolution over time.
