FetchTheChange monitors any value on a page (not just prices) and—when a selector stops matching—helps you recover instead of failing silently.

Visualping — Best for visual/screenshot-based monitoring with easy setup
Hexowatch — Best for teams needing multiple watch types (visual, keyword, source, tech stack)
