Will PageScouter catch every change?

No, and no monitor can. Checks run on an interval, so a page that changes and then changes back between two checks looks unchanged to us. Shorten the interval on the pages where that would matter.

How quickly will I hear about a change?

Within one check interval — from every five minutes to once a day, depending on your plan. Set the pace per monitor: most pages do not need watching every five minutes, and the ones that do are worth paying for.

Are there pages it cannot monitor?

Yes. Some sites block automated requests outright, some need a login, and some change on every single load — timestamps, adverts, session tokens — which looks like constant change. The browser extension handles the first two by capturing the page in your own session; ignore rules handle the third.

What happens if a check stops working?

You are told. A monitor that cannot be checked shows as stopped, and so does a whole account whose checks we have paused. A monitor that looks like it is running when it is not is the worst thing a tool like this can do, so we would rather show you a problem than a reassuring silence.

Can I rely on it for a legal or contractual deadline?

Treat it as an assistant, not the system of record. PageScouter is built to cut down how often you check a page by hand — it is not a guarantee that you will be told, and anything with a deadline attached deserves a second pair of eyes.

How it works

Three steps. Then forget about it.

Point PageScouter at any page and it handles the boring part — checking, comparing, and pinging you only when something actually changes.

Add a URL

Paste any link. Choose static HTML for speed, or full browser render for JavaScript-heavy pages.

PageScouter watches it

On your schedule, it fetches the page and compares every check against the last known version.

You get alerted

When something shifts, a digest lands in your inbox with the changes highlighted. Webhooks are coming in a future release.

Features

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

Built to do one thing well — tell you when a page changes.

Scheduled checks

Every five minutes or once a day. Static HTML for speed, or a real browser render for pages that need JavaScript to load.

Before-and-after diffs

See exactly what moved, highlighted inline — as plain text, as source, or on the page itself.

Email digests

One clean message when things move. No dashboards to babysit — just the changes that matter, grouped.

grouped · low-noise

In development: pipe changes into Slack, a CI run, or anything that speaks HTTP. Email digests are how changes reach you today.

Pages the server can't reach

A Chromium extension captures Cloudflare-protected and logged-in pages from your own browser session — one click to add the page you're on, then it stays current automatically. How the extension works.

extension · your session

The right method for each page

Static HTML for speed, a real browser for JavaScript-heavy pages, your own session for the rest. Add a page from the extension and it probes the URL and picks the method for you.

static · browser · capture

Your pages. Nobody else's business.

PageScouter doesn't send your monitored URLs to data brokers, ad networks, or third-party crawling services. Checks run from your own server or browser. What you watch stays under your control.
