Changedetection.io

I've been running this software locally as a docker container on my laptop since about February 2021, obviously with a few updates/restarts, but generally it is set and forget

Nice and easy to self-host with Docker, thanks. Might save me more than a few bookmarks that I check every couple weeks manually. Small feature wish: optionally fetch and display…

I used this to replace Visualping.io. The only features it lacks compared to VisualPing is a GUI for selecting page elements to monitor and fully rendered diff results. It either…

I think you're right that the services themselves break, but more often than not, the failure mode is that what page you're monitoring changes its structure, and then every…

Visualping.io works pretty well as a SaaS. They have an okay free tier (65 checks per month). https://visualping.io/pricing I just wish their pricing model was less check-based.…

The linked software is for self-hosting. In my experience self-hosting is the safest bet. When self-hosting it's of course best to use software packages that automatically get…

> Is there a change-detection service like this, being provided with stable SLAs by one of the cloud IaaS providers? You're looking for Zyte (formerly ScrapingHub).

It sounds like you value permanence and reliability over feature set. You may want to consider https://www.followthatpage.com/ I have been using it for years, and—judging from…
