Live music & shows
Add a few URLs — your favorite artist, a venue, a promoter — and Site Monitor watches them on your schedule. When a new date, presale code, or release drops, you get an email alert, and a plain-English AI summary of what changed appears in your dashboard.
Government & policy
Rule dockets, regulator filing pages, a state agency's public-notice page — pick the URLs that matter to your business and Site Monitor watches them on your schedule. When something changes, you get an email alert, and an AI summary of the difference appears in your dashboard.
Privacy & ToS
Payment processors, SaaS vendors, marketplaces — anyone you depend on. Add their privacy policy, terms of service, or DPA and Site Monitor watches for changes. When they update, you get an email alert, and a plain-English AI summary of what's different appears in your dashboard.
Wiki & docs
Standards pages, open-source changelogs, API reference docs, or a wiki page you rely on — add the URL and Site Monitor watches it. When the doc changes, you get an email alert, and a natural-language summary of the update appears in your dashboard.
Indie devs & SaaS
You don't need an enterprise observability stack. You need to know when your app is down, when a deploy changed something it shouldn't have, and when a page got slower. Site Monitor covers all three.
Competitor tracking
Add a competitor's pricing page, product page, or changelog and Site Monitor watches it on your schedule. When they change a price, add a tier, or ship a feature, you get an email alert, and a plain-English summary appears in your dashboard.
Job postings
Many roles appear on a company's own careers page days before they reach job boards — and some never get posted elsewhere. Add the careers pages of the companies you want to work for, and Site Monitor emails you when a new role appears.
Price drops & restocks
Add the product page and point Site Monitor at the price or the 'Add to cart' button. When the price changes or the item comes back in stock, you get an email straight away.
Agencies
Plugin updates, client-side admin edits, expired certificates, a host having a bad day — agencies hear about them from the client. Site Monitor watches every site you manage and alerts you first.
SEO monitoring
A redesign drops your H1. A CMS edit rewrites a title tag. A plugin adds noindex. Site Monitor watches your money pages and alerts you when anything that affects rankings changes — or when a competitor rewrites theirs.
Grants & RFPs
Foundations, agencies, and procurement portals post new funding calls and RFPs on their own pages, often with short deadlines. Add the pages you care about and Site Monitor emails you when something new is posted.
