Common pages to monitor:
AI can help summarize and filter eligible content changes within your plan's allowance. Review the first results and adjust your instructions.
Alerts follow the check that finds a qualifying change. Daily and weekly reports group updates and require Standard or above.
Free supports hourly or slower checks. Faster schedules need a suitable paid plan and enough monthly check credits.

How do I move a page I monitor with Distill?
Start with a small set of URLs, recreate the relevant selections and alert settings, and validate the first captures. A URL import does not transfer every recorded action, session, condition or historical result. Keep the existing setup until the replacement meets your requirements.
Does Distill also offer AI summaries?
Yes. Distill documents AI summaries for eligible Flexi and Enterprise cloud monitors. PageCrawl includes an AI allowance on every plan for eligible changes. Compare the required plan, content and notification workflow rather than assuming that either service has no AI.
Is it free, and when are alerts sent?
PageCrawl Free includes six pages and 220 monthly check credits. The schedule must fit that allowance. Alerts follow the check that finds a qualifying change; daily and weekly reports require Standard or above. AI has a separate allowance, and some pages need additional setup or a paid feature.
