What to watch on a competitor's website

Competitor monitoring
Track changes on competitor websites.
Put your competitors' pricing, product and careers pages on one watchlist. Webtingle checks each page on its own schedule and sends you a short summary of what changed, with screenshots to back it up.

Plans from $9.99 a month after the trial. Your first monitor takes about two minutes.
Why Webtingle
A watchlist that reports back
One watchlist for every page
Add pricing and feature pages, changelogs, job listings and legal terms. Every plan has unlimited monitors, so you pay for checks, not for pages, and a page checked daily uses about 30 checks a month.
A summary you can forward
Each alert says in one line what changed, like a plan going from $29 to $39, with the before and after one click away. The screenshots are the proof when you pass it on to sales or product.
Alerts in your team's channel
Send pricing changes to a #competitor-alerts channel in Slack or Microsoft Teams, or route each page to the email, Discord, Telegram or webhook that suits it.
What to watch
The competitor pages worth a monitor
Pages that change when a real decision gets made. Start with three to five competitors and check each page as often as it actually moves.
| Page | What changes there | Check it |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing | Plan prices, limits, and features moving between plans | Daily |
| Product and feature pages | New features, renamed products, a shift in who they sell to | Daily |
| Changelog or release notes | What shipped, often before it's announced | Daily |
| Integrations | New partners and connectors | Weekly |
| Careers | New roles that show where they're investing | Weekly |
| Terms and legal pages | Changed limits, data rules and contract terms | Weekly |

The alert
What your team sees in Slack
Send a competitor's changes to a shared channel and the whole team reads the same alert.
What changed, in one line
The summary says what the change means, so most alerts can be read without clicking through.
Small changes that matter
Only 0.1% of this page moved, and it was a price rise. The summary tells you what a change is, whatever its size.
One click to the proof
"View in Webtingle" opens the before and after; "Visit Page" opens the live page.

How it works
Set up in a couple of minutes, then forget about it
Three steps. No downloads, no browser extension, nothing to install on the site you watch.
- 01
Paste a URL and click what to watch
Webtingle opens the page in a live preview. Click the part you care about, such as a price, a stock label or a headline, then pick how often to check.
- 02
We check it in a real browser
Every check takes a full screenshot and compares it with the last one. Cookie banners are handled for you, and a page that needs a click first can be recorded once.
- 03
You get the before and after
Every change comes with a plain-English summary, and each changed area is listed on its own. Click one to jump to it on the page, or drag the slider over the two screenshots.
