Wachete Alternative
A Wachete alternative with a real archive and real support.
Wachete covers the basics of page watching. ChangeTower is for teams that need the record to stick around, the checks to run on real pages and a person to answer when something is off.
Where Wachete users hit the wall.
The four things ChangeTower customers who came from Wachete mention most: data history, file types, support and the cost of doing it properly.
Wachete details reflect publicly available product information at the time of writing and may change. Always check the vendor's current plans before deciding.
A monitoring suite, not a watcher.
Wachete customers tend to come to ChangeTower for one feature and stay for the rest. These are the ones that come up most.
History that stays
Every check is stored as a dated snapshot with a side-by-side diff, for 30 days to 6 months by plan. Enterprise adds custom retention and full page archiving on every check.
Logged-in and gated pages
Monitor portals, dashboards and members-only content. Custom user interactions log in, click or dismiss things before the check runs.
Human support
Set-up help for awkward pages and a real person when an alert does not look right. Enterprise plans include dedicated support and onboarding.
Checks every 20 minutes
Hourly on Essential, every 20 minutes on Business and custom intervals on Enterprise, for pages where a delay costs money.
Built for teams
Workspaces, folders and role-based access keep clients, departments and projects apart, with the right people on each.
Bulk setup
Paste a list of URLs, set the criteria once, and ChangeTower creates every monitor with the same check type, frequency and alerts.
Moving from Wachete takes an afternoon, not a project.
Nothing to install and no browser extension to keep alive. Bring your list of URLs and ChangeTower does the rest.
Copy your Wachete watchlist
Export or copy the URLs you monitor today and paste the list into Bulk Setup. ChangeTower creates a monitor for each one.
Set the rules once
Choose the check type, the interval and the alert conditions. Use selective monitoring to point each monitor at the part of the page that matters.
Route the alerts
Put monitors into folders, invite the team and connect Slack, Teams or a webhook. Your history starts accumulating from the first check.
Free plan for 3 pages, and a 5-day free trial on every paid plan.

Usually the teams for whom the record matters as much as the alert.
Compliance in regulated industries
Finance, healthcare, government and insurance teams that have to show what a page said on a given date, months later.
Agencies and consultancies
One folder per client, alerts routed to the account owner, and an exportable change history for the quarterly review.
SEO and content teams
Competitor keyword placements, new content initiatives and your own title tags and canonicals after every deploy.
Recruiting and news monitoring
Career pages, job boards and news sources, with keyword alerts so you only hear about the postings and stories that matter.
Before you switch from Wachete
Can I bring my existing monitors over from Wachete?
Yes. Copy your URL list, paste it into Bulk Setup and ChangeTower creates a monitor for each one with the same check type, interval and alerts.
How long is monitoring history kept?
Snapshot history runs from 30 days on Free and Lite to 60 days on Essential and 6 months on Business, with custom retention and full page archiving on Enterprise. The detail of any change can be exported at any time.
Can ChangeTower monitor PDFs and documents?
Yes. PDFs and other documents can be monitored for changes, alongside HTML pages, password-protected pages and pages that need user actions before they render.
Is there a free trial?
The Free plan monitors 3 pages checked daily, and every paid plan starts with a 5-day free trial. See the pricing page for what each plan includes.
Keep the record. Keep the team in the loop.
Set up your first monitor in under 5 minutes. No sales call needed.
