Distill Web Monitor

Tracking website updates, automated and simplified

Visit Distill Web Monitor

Distill Web Monitor is a service that automatically checks webpages for changes and sends alerts when updates occur. It solves the problem of manually refreshing pages to track important information, such as product availability, price changes, or content updates on any website.

The tool offers both cloud-based and local monitoring through browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and Edge, as well as desktop apps for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Users can visually select specific page elements to track, set custom check intervals from 5 seconds to 30 days, and create single or compound notification conditions. Additional capabilities include tracking password-protected pages and PDFs, maintaining version history, using macros for automated actions, and integrating with Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, and webhooks. A JSON API and data import/export are also available.

Distill Web Monitor is designed for individuals and teams who need to track website changes for personal or professional use. It offers a free plan with 25 local monitors, 5 cloud monitors, 1,000 cloud checks per month, and 30 email alerts. Paid plans are available on a monthly or annual subscription basis, with tiered limits on monitors, checks, devices, and notifications, including SMS and push notifications. An enterprise plan with shared watchlists and centralized billing is also offered.
