Great service **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Sean F. | Vice President of DevOps, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 01, 2024 **What do you like best about Visualping?** Visualping allows you to create scrapers to detect changes on public web pages. It runs them for you in a SaaS model with up to 5 pages for free, and emails you to review the changes it detects. It supports both text and image changes. **What do you dislike about Visualping?** The email notifications do not deep link to the change shown in the email, but to the most recent scraping run. If you fall behind in reviewing them, you can struggle to match which run visible in the product is the one you're trying to find referenced in the email. The scraper has trouble distinguishing between floating components (ads, accept cookie banners, etc.) and the page content which can lead to some false alerts. **What problems is Visualping solving and how is that benefiting you?** Visualping allows me to track changes to web pages I am interested in. I have used it on stores to notify me when a product is back in stock or a product selection changes, on event pages to notify me as new speakers/attendees are announced, and on staff pages to notify me of new employees. ### 17.

We're glad that you're enjoying Visualping. - The Visualping Team ### 21. Excellent tool for competitive intelligence **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Timothy H. | Media Director, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 26, 2023 **What do you like best about Visualping?** Overall extremely easy product to use with easy setup process. We've been using the product for competitive intelligence reporting for a variety of products from a competing company and it's worked well to give us updates on certain products. Feature set is pretty solid and provides reasonable flexibility. We've basically integrated it into our competitive research process using email notifications. We're currently getting weekly notifications from the product, but will probably back down to a lower frequency as we're finding the tool does pick up on more site changes than expected. We haven't had a reason to contact customer support thus far, which I think is a pretty good testamant to the ease of use for the product. **What do you dislike about Visualping?** The behavior of the tool when dealing with interactive site elements does leave some to be desired. We were trying to interact with an accordion on a competitor site and wanted to look for change in a specific element insude that accordion, but the tool didn't have the flexibility to do that so we used a workaround. It still functions fine for our uses, but in the long run we may build a custom scraping bot for that specific competitor. **What problems is Visualping solving and how is that benefiting you?** Speeds up our competitive research process ### 22. Performs well **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Entertainment | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 13, 2024 **What do you like best about Visualping?** Great user interface and easy to use and implement. **What do you dislike about Visualping?** Website errors when tracking a page giving fales alerts. **What problems is Visualping solving and how is that benefiting you?** Helps me monitor pages. **Official Response from Eric Do Couto:** > Thanks for the feedback. We've recently rolled out an AI Summaries tool for all users that will help minimize the impact of false alerts. We're thankful to have you as a Visualping user! - The Visualping Team ### 23. Most helpful update tracking site I've used **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Law Practice | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 16, 2024 **What do you like best about Visualping?** The UI is by far my favorite thing. I have tried multiple different websites that claim to do the same thing and they just aren't the same. **What do you dislike about Visualping?** The only thing I don't like is how much is behind the paywall, but compared to other sites they give you the most features for free. **What problems is Visualping solving and how is that benefiting you?** I need to track a bunch of different websites for pages updates. **Official Response from Eric Do Couto:** > Thanks for the review. We appreciate the kind words regarding our UI and functionality. - The Visualping Team ### 24. Visualping is pretty good software/website. **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Legal Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 17, 2024 **What do you like best about Visualping?** You can "set it and forget it". Sometimes is has false alerts but I believe that is because of the website I am monitoring not being up 24/7. **What do you dislike about Visualping?** I wish I could get more than one daily update on the free plan. **What problems is Visualping solving and how is that benefiting you?** I would have to check websites frequently to see if ordered changes have been made yet or if follow-up is needed. **Official Response from Eric Do Couto:** > Thanks for the review, and for being a user of Visualping. - The Visualping Team ### 25. Excellent Option for Competitive Intelligence and Website Change Monitoring **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Michael M. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 22, 2023 **What do you like best about Visualping?** Visualping is easy to use and has many ways of implementing CI and website tracking and integrating reporting into your current into your current workflows. Customer support is responsive and it's something I'm continually finding more frequent uses for. I've been able to sunset dozens of manual scripts through the use of their tools. **What do you dislike about Visualping?** Setup of a new service always takes time, but with Visualping it will be a few easy minutes of configuration. **What problems is Visualping solving and how is that benefiting you?** Visualping offers a comprehensive suite of competitive intelligence, website change monitoring, and website screenshot tools that deliver easy insights straight to your inbox.

Visualping is a powerful tool for versioning changes across these and other categories that you definitely need to try today. ### 26. Time Saver for Competitive Intelligence **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Terry L. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 22, 2023 **What do you like best about Visualping?** I've been able to cut out the manual work when it comes to checking competitor pricing. Especially during this Black Friday period when competitor checks are done multiple times a day, Visualping allows me to has visibility on multiple competitors while saving time. Its also very easy to use and set up, so my teammates have been able to use and view all the tracking that Visualping has done. **What do you dislike about Visualping?** Advanced scheduling could be more specific. Currently it seems like it only allows you to schedule once per day at the same time. It would be nice to be able to schedule for multiple specific times of the day. **What problems is Visualping solving and how is that benefiting you?** Previously, competitive intelligence was done first thing every morning manually by checking all our competitor websites to see if there were any price changes. However, with Visualping, this manual check only happens when Visualping has informed me of a change from a specific competitor. Additionally as mentioned before, Black Friday is an extrememly competitive time period with lots of price movements. Visualping allows us to be notified of the competitor changes while also giving us the time back to allow us to respond quickly and effectively. ### 27. Perfect for nonprofit too **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jansait Q. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 20, 2023 **What do you like best about Visualping?** Our nonprofit organization, dedicated to supporting newcomers in Canada, recognizes the pivotal importance of staying abreast of dynamic changes from IRCC and various government departments. This ongoing awareness is fundamental to our commitment to effectively serve our clients. VisualPing emerges as a linchpin in our information ecosystem. Its efficiency not only allows us to provide accurate and timely information to those we serve but also facilitates our seamless participation in the proposal application process, ensuring our responsiveness to evolving circumstances.

Amazing tool for checking for updates on websites **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Suraj S. | Graduate Research Assistant, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 20, 2023 **What do you like best about Visualping?** I use visualping to track certain websites and when they are updated. For example, in one case I was following the lectures that were posted on the website of a certain professor. I set a daily check on the webpage to check if new content is posted. Visual ping made it very easy by allowing options to check by either visual difference i.e. checking if a part of a page has changed visually or even by html/text. Additionally, I can set a frequency of when the changes are detected, which is very nice. Since, in some cases the changes may not be daily and I dont need to spend requests on visual ping for the same. **What do you dislike about Visualping?** Visualping has been very useful so far. One of the downsides is that every month in the free tier you get a limited number of requests - which is expected in the free tier. But it can be limiting if I want to tracking too many things. **What problems is Visualping solving and how is that benefiting you?** It helps me keep tabs on different web pages and additionally keep tabs on different players. ### 29. Checks changes so that you don't have to **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Retail | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 19, 2024 **What do you like best about Visualping?** The fact that I can choose the way I want to check for changes (visual or element) **What do you dislike about Visualping?** Nothing comes to mind. It's a very complete service. **What problems is Visualping solving and how is that benefiting you?** Having to check prices and stock everyday is very cumbersome. I setup visualping to check for me and tell me whenever there's a change I'm interested in **Official Response from Eric Do Couto:** > Thanks for the review. We're glad Visualping has helped with your Price and Retail monitoring needs. Thanks for being a user. - The Visualping Team ### 30. Very positive experience and business benefits achieved **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Graphic Design | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 28, 2022 **What do you like best about Visualping?** Specialist staff who provided thoughtful advice and guidance on how to use the tool to achieve the required goal **What do you dislike about Visualping?** Some target web sites launch a new window which makes it impossible to use Visualping to monitor changes **What problems is Visualping solving and how is that benefiting you?** Monitoring ~100 web sites (both HTML and secure) to capture new RfX opportunities to bid for **Official Response from Eric Do Couto:** > Thanks for the review. We're glad Visualping is able to help you to monitor and win new bids and opportunities for your business. - The Visualping Team ### 31. My experience with visualping **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Paulo Lucas M. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 16, 2023 **What do you like best about Visualping?** What I liked most about Visualping was the possibility of customizing monitoring according to my needs. For example, I used the website to check if a product I wanted to buy was available in an online store. I selected only the part of the page that showed the product's stock and set it to receive an email alert as soon as there was a change. It was very practical and efficient. Another positive point of Visualping is the intuitive and user-friendly interface. The site is easy to navigate and has a pleasant design. The instructions are clear and the buttons are clearly visible. Additionally, the site offers a video tutorial that explains step by step how to use the service. I found it very useful and didactic. **What do you dislike about Visualping?** Not everything is perfect in Visualping. One aspect that I think could be improved is the price. The site has a free plan that allows you to monitor up to two pages per day, but if you want more features or more frequency, you need to pay a monthly or annual subscription. I think the price is a little high for such a simple service and there are other cheaper or free options on the internet. Another aspect that I didn't really like was the lack of support in Portuguese. The site is only available in English and Spanish, which may make it difficult for some users to understand. I wish there was a Portuguese version of the site or at least an automatic translation option. This would make the service more accessible and inclusive. In conclusion, I think Visualping is a useful and easy-to-use site for monitoring changes to web pages, but it has some negative points that can be improved. I recommend the site to anyone who needs a simple and fast service, but is willing to pay for it and doesn't mind the language barrier. **What problems is Visualping solving and how is that benefiting you?** helped me monitor site changes so I didn't have to keep looking at them all the time ### 32.

Extremely valuable tool! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Caitlin B. | 1st AC, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 20, 2023 **What do you like best about Visualping?** Visualping is the single most significant tool I use for keeping up to date for my self-run camera assistant business. Countless times, it has notified me at the perfect time about important changes to sites I monitor. It gives me a leg up over all my peers and competitors. I'm always the first to sign up for new events, as soon as they're posted. Monitoring industry websites and blogs is a breeze. I'm the biggest fan of Visualping and will be a loyal subscriber forever! **What do you dislike about Visualping?** I only wish I had found it sooner. A+ all the way! **What problems is Visualping solving and how is that benefiting you?** Being the first on the scene is invaluable in my line of work. Visualping gives me that edge, and it makes my part of that job easy. I use Visualping to monitor web pages for changes so that when they happen without warning, I can act with speed and confidence. ### 34. Easing monitoring of government activities **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Pieter J. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 15, 2023 **What do you like best about Visualping?** Once it's set up, it does the work for you. Freeing up time for more productive work. **What do you dislike about Visualping?** For the free version, I have to periodically login to the site to confirm I am still using it. Which given that I am a free user, is justified in ensuring that their system is not clogged up with queries that are not being utilised. **What problems is Visualping solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am monitoring activity by different government departments to ensure that I don't miss any regulatory changes. This was particularly pertinent during COVID-19 when the Rwandan government adjusted the restrictions on travel to ensure our team was able to make well-informed decisions. More recently, it allows us to keep track of what goverment departments we are working with are publishing as news on their sites to ensure we do not miss any big events and to help ensure we can keep track of their priorities. ### 35. Great tool for to keep you up-to-date on all changes on certain web pages **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 19, 2024 **What do you like best about Visualping?** - Notifications on certain page when there are changes - Comparing the changes based on text or visual **What do you dislike about Visualping?** Can't come up with anythign, it works pefect for me **What problems is Visualping solving and how is that benefiting you?** Would like to keep up-to-date on competitor pricing and Visualping is a great tool to help me with that **Official Response from Eric Do Couto:** > Thanks for your review of Visualping. We're glad Visualping is helping you with your Competitive Intelligence and Price Monitoring needs. - The Visualping Team ### 36. Useful tool **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Legal Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 24, 2023 **What do you like best about Visualping?** I can choose the frequency of the notification. Very easy to use and understand. **What do you dislike about Visualping?** I have no dislikes to mention on this website so far. **What problems is Visualping solving and how is that benefiting you?** I do not have to check if a website page will be updated every day **Official Response from Eric Do Couto:** > Thanks for the feedback. We appreciate having you as a Visualping user! - The Visualping Team ### 37. Easy to set-up and works like charm **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Prakhar S. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 08, 2023 **What do you like best about Visualping?** Visualping is very intuitive to use. The onboarding process was smooth. The free plan is perfect and enough for non-business use case. I appreciate the pricing plan. In terms of product, it does the job. It runs smoothly and provides updates at scheduled times. It clearly tracks the changes and displays it intuitively. I use it for competitive intelligence. **What do you dislike about Visualping?** The pages are tracked visually. So, if there is a new blogpos, the order of the titles on the blog changes. Visualping treats that as a lot of change, but in reality it is an incremental change. **What problems is Visualping solving and how is that benefiting you?** I needed to know what new things the industry players are working on. They usually publish it on their blogs, but they don't offer blog subscription. So, instead of checking for the blog updates manually, it is much better to have Visualping do the job for you at regular intervals. ### 38. Visual ping lets me monitor for critical updates in real-time **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Rich R. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 23, 2023 **What do you like best about Visualping?** Visual ping is easy to use and provides many configuration options to allow you to curate your monitoring based on your needs. I've used the tool for years to monitor for breaking updates, new developments, and even to monitor mod packs that are planned for the future that would require twitter, reddit, discord etc. accounts and push notifications if I wasn't able to monitor the source of the updates directly. **What do you dislike about Visualping?** I can't remember a time where I was disappointed by the tool. It always works well for my basic needs. **What problems is Visualping solving and how is that benefiting you?** Near-real-time updates on critical updates and developments with no codebase to manage, no service to run locally, and provides configuration to ensure timeliness and delivery to the right stakeholders who can take action. ### 39. Perfect for tracking website changes **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Goods | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 22, 2024 **What do you like best about Visualping?** It's so easy to use and is an ideal monitor that can be set up once and left to run. **What do you dislike about Visualping?** Some subscriptions are a little expensive. **What problems is Visualping solving and how is that benefiting you?** Monitoring various businesses. ### 40. It's a must have to do competitive intelligence **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Raphael T. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 22, 2023 **What do you like best about Visualping?** It's incredibly powerful to monitor at scale hundreds of websites or keywords that are strategic to my business. We're able to pilot and build our competitive intelligence by using Visualping, and their integrations to Slack, apis etc... Visualping works great, wether you have 10 or 100 websites to monitor, and even finds small text changes on very long pages. Really useful for my business ! We get weekly reports for hundreds of web-pages, monitoring our competitors, and their use of specific keywords. **What do you dislike about Visualping?** Nothing in particular, and customer support is actually great ! **What problems is Visualping solving and how is that benefiting you?** Visualping managed to automate at scale and very reliably the monitoring of hundreds of web-pages. It's incredibly valuable as it saves us hundreds of hours per month, so we can focus on analyzing the results instead of doing the grunt work. ### 41. Easiest way to keep track of product price changes **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Derek L. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 20, 2023 **What do you like best about Visualping?** I'm a programmer and write my own web crawling scripts to keep track of price changes or availability of things I want to buy. Though spending half an hour customizing my own scripts to track every new web site is just taking too much time. Visualping keep track not only text but also web elements on reatailer pages and being able to select areas visually makes it much easier to use and more flexible than other alert tools. **What do you dislike about Visualping?** Personal tier prices are rather high. At a hundred dollars a year, I'm not sure if all my alerts collectively can save me that much money. I'm quite happy with their free service. **What problems is Visualping solving and how is that benefiting you?** Keeping track of times when products go on sale, or when certain products are back in stock. ### 42. Accurate Tracking of Government Website **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kyle M. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 04, 2023 **What do you like best about Visualping?** We use this to monitor unannounced changes in the NSA's guidelines for classified data destruction. VisualPing notifies me of changes of any significance of my choosing, and usually emails me within a few hours of them occuring. It also highlights what is different, so no matter how subtle, it'll tell me what is new. **What do you dislike about Visualping?** We track about a dozen websites perfectly, but one of them is problematic in that the spacing changes all of the time. This triggers a false VisualPing update. The problem is relegated exclusively to that website though. **What problems is Visualping solving and how is that benefiting you?** The NSA will make changes to its classified destruction guidance without any announcement or fanfaire. This have huge implications on our industry, and after being caught totally offguard back in 2018, we signed up with VisualPing. Now I am made aware of any changes within hours of them occuring, automatically. Our competition must be monitoring the websites manually, as it can take them up to two weeks to react to changes. ### 43. Visualping Works! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Steve D. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 17, 2023 **What do you like best about Visualping?** I am using a free membership on Visualping to detect changes to websites. I do not need instantaneous notifications so the free membership works great. I'd gladly subscribe if and when I do need more instant notifications though! The site is customizable to certain sections of a webpage and a certain threshold of changes detected. Very highly recommended. **What do you dislike about Visualping?** It would be nice to see a few lower priced tiers on visialping. It's either free, $10, $25, $50, $100/month. I'd like to see what a $5 plan would offer or a $7.50/mo plan especially for personal accounts. **What problems is Visualping solving and how is that benefiting you?** I'm trying to get a heads up notice on when an item is available to purchase. Visualping helps notify me so I don't have to constantly check it myself. Great time saver. ### 44. A timely tool for marketers, looking for sneak peek into competitors without hurting your Iris **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Omkar K. | Associate Manager - Content Marketing, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 03, 2023 **What do you like best about Visualping?** Visualping saw a nerve-cracking problem in the real world, quantified it, and presented a suitable solution for marketers. You should check it out; it doesn't matter if you're a product marketer, content marketer, or working in any role across the marketing function in any industry. Here are my two cents on it. I'm working in the higher EDU space for a U.S.-based business. Yes, it's crowded and comes with its own set of problems. Everyone's doing their best, and everyone has the best resources at hand. So, how do I make sure I'm one step ahead? By getting continuous intel into my competitors in real-time. I want to stay informed about every fresh article, new product or service offering, or even minor alterations to my competitor's messaging as soon as they are available. This happened recently, I received an email from Visualping telling me about a new category called, "Student Life" that popped up in my competitor's navbar. I instantly checked the SEO implications for it and understood that it was worth chasing this new keyword. I researched similar keywords and found a couple of topics with loads of potential to bring traffic. I shared this update with the business team managing the EDU vertical. They too were interested in chasing this tail. Voila, we had a new blog vertical with a strong magnetic pull for college students eager to read tips to make their lives better. Moreover, I have set up monitoring for our own website. There are many internal teams working on the EDU business. So, sometimes, it's difficult to stay updated on everyone's agenda. It's chaotic working with seven different teams. Visualping was really helpful in keeping track of changes on the website for everyone. **What do you dislike about Visualping?** I wouldn't exactly say downside, but yes, the product needs some improvements. Recently, I received an email from Visualping telling me about the changes that were mere UI transitions of the "Suggested Blogs" section on the website. **What problems is Visualping solving and how is that benefiting you?** I have worked extensively with startups in the past, but working in corporate is new to me. Several teams are involved, and they don't have the bandwidth to broadcast every small detail or update to all concerned teams. At least, that's the culture of my organization as of now. This is where Visualping came in. I wasn't searching for a tool such as this, but it felt timely when I found it. I was able to communicate every small update from the gigantic website back to my team. **Official Response from Eric Do Couto:** > Hi Omkar, Thanks for your review of Visualping - we're glad Visualping is helpful in your Competitive Intelligence efforts. - The Visualping Team ### 45. A simple web monitoring software for simple tracking of web changes **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 19, 2024 **What do you like best about Visualping?** Very easy to use interface and able to keep track of multiple sites. **What do you dislike about Visualping?** Free version only able to do polling once a day **What problems is Visualping solving and how is that benefiting you?** To keep track of codes, updates **Official Response from Eric Do Couto:** > Thanks for taking the time to review Visualping! We're glad that Visualping is helping you to keep track of multiple sites, and that you find the interface easy to use. Warm Regards, The Visualping Team ### 46. A Fantastic tool to monitor our sites and even competitors! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jesse S. | IT personal, Broadcast Media, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 16, 2023 **What do you like best about Visualping?** I am glad a coworker told us to implement this into our arsenal. I have used other alternatives of Visualping but those do not come close to how well and easy it is to use and features that the others didn't even offer. I am able to get daily updates on some of my personal websites and even sites outside of our organization. Because I integrated this into our company I was able to catch a huge error by one of our employees. **What do you dislike about Visualping?** More than a few times I get notified that there is a change when there is not a change. Other than that it doesn't fail often and that is a bonus! **What problems is Visualping solving and how is that benefiting you?** Visualping helps me keep an eye on our competitors to see what they are covering all in one location, saving me time hoping from one site to another. ### 47. The perfect Competitive Intelligence tool **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Alexander N. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 20, 2023 **What do you like best about Visualping?** Visualping has made it extremely easy for me to follow specific information and automatically be notified of changes. More importantly Visualping is set up to automatically suggest what part of websites I may want to follow and is smart enough to know what is most likely a change I am not interested in and ignore those. They also recently updated the notifications to provide a summary at the top of them to inform me what has changed. **What do you dislike about Visualping?** Nothing in particular, it has all the features i needed. **What problems is Visualping solving and how is that benefiting you?** Visualping allows me to monitor specific sites and keep me informed of how various competitors have changed thier investment strategy, regulatory changes that make impact my portfolio or investment thesis and watch the progress of specific companies. ### 48. The use of Visualping has transformed our data landscaping efforts! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Zac W. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 27, 2023 **What do you like best about Visualping?** The customer service / support team at Visualping is one of the best I've come across - they are extremely quick to respond to inquiries and requests, very accomodating in providing custom bulk imports and adjustments when the default options might not allow for some specific adjusting, and provide very clear explanations (and often custom-made vidoes!) to clear up how to use their UI and options in the most beneficial way. The product itself works very well in providing passive landscaping and monitoring of websites, and the number of features and options to monitor specific parts of a page, navigating through pop-up menu's and overlays, and options for frequency and notifications are great. I have very little negative to say about Visualping - it has been an absolute blessing to our workflow and reduced the amount of overhead and time spent doing this landscaping work manually. It has MORE than paid for itself! **What do you dislike about Visualping?** It is hard for me to identify things I haven't enjoyed about using Visualping. There is a bit of a learning curve in using the service when it comes to getting around notification overlays, pop-ups, etc. - but their customer service team is quick to respond and provide insights and solutions to these sorts of problems. When we first started using Visualping, the UI was a bit slow/laggy in some of the features, but they have since addressed these issues and I haven't run into any issues since then. **What problems is Visualping solving and how is that benefiting you?** We use visualping to monitor various websites where we typically obtain data in order to be informed as soon as possible about when new data is released. This took a massive amount of time and energy to do manually, scolling through hundreds of websites looking for updates and changes - now we just get notifications in Slack to check any detected updates to webpages, and even have the option on only receiving notifications when specific keywords/terms are detected. ### 49. Tons of features for tweaking alerts **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** James M. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 27, 2023 **What do you like best about Visualping?** I've been using Visualping for a long, long time, even back when they were called ChangeDetection and had a website that looked like it was from the early 2000s. Visualping has a ton of options for creating alerts. As the name suggests it can check for visual changes, which is what makes it unique and is a method that can work when all else fails. There's also the ability to monitor text or HTML elements for changes, and you can further tweak by adding clicks, scrolls, cookies, refreshes, etc. I run several monitors on Visualping to help me with my own personal workflows. **What do you dislike about Visualping?** The visual element is a blessing and a curse. It's nice to be able to select the area of the window or the text you want to select, but sometimes it would be easier to target the raw HTML or text. Visualping doesn't offer much for monitoring tables of information with multiple pages, which can get a little annoying. I've also had to retire some Visualping monitors in favor of things like Retool, because what I want is for RPA to action on a change and not just an email when it happens. **What problems is Visualping solving and how is that benefiting you?** There are things I need to action on when something changes, such as updating a publication. Instead of having to check on something every day manually I can simply wait for an alert to come in. ### 50. Simple technology to keep you informed, saving you time from refreshing the page! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Monica B. | Software Implementation Consultant, Information Technology and Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 26, 2023 **What do you like best about Visualping?** I like using this software to keep me informed without me having to remember to check a website. An example is when a website posts new dates or availability for an event/activity - I want to be informed ASAP in case I need to sign up before things get booked up. So, it's especially handy for staying the most-up-to-date without having to remember to check a page manually when you don't know when the business will update the information on their page! **What do you dislike about Visualping?** There is a limit to number of notifications, but the free version is pretty generous and sufficient to my needs! **What problems is Visualping solving and how is that benefiting you?** No way am I going to check a website everyday. Visualping does all the work for me automatically. ## Visualping Discussions - [How do I use Visualping extension?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/how-do-i-use-visualping-extension) - 1 comment, 1 upvote - [How do I cancel Visualping?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/how-do-i-cancel-visualping) - 1 comment - [What is Visualping?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-visualping) - 1 comment - [View Visualping pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/visualping/reviews?page=3§ion=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-30+11%3A50%3A20+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=b5cbb710-7a2b-439a-bb72-c526695d2a0f&secure%5Btoken%5D=675e476a18b0edfb05da7b78485af47952fe300b52ca34c5b9c98379ff57b7f2&format=llm_user) ## Visualping Integrations - [Chrome Enterprise](https://www.g2.com/products/chrome-enterprise/reviews) - [Coda](https://www.g2.com/products/superhuman-coda/reviews) - [Google Analytics](https://www.g2.com/products/google-analytics/reviews) - [n8n](https://www.g2.com/products/n8n/reviews) - [Okta](https://www.g2.com/products/okta/reviews) - [Slack](https://www.g2.com/products/slack/reviews) - [WordPress.org](https://www.g2.com/products/wordpress-org/reviews) ## Visualping Features **Tracking** - Competition Tracking - Trend Tracking - SEO Tracking - Bug Tracking **Platform Basics** - Centralized Platform - Web Tracking **Generative AI** - AI Text Generation - AI Text Summarization **Agentic AI - Website Change Monitoring** - Autonomous Task Execution - Adaptive Learning - Natural Language Interaction - Decision Making **Agentic AI - Competitive Intelligence** - Autonomous Task Execution **Content Use Case** - Brand Content - Thumbnails - Compliance **Platform Data** - Product Details - Customer Feedback & Reviews **Agentic AI - Regulatory Change Management** - Autonomous Task Execution - Multi-step Planning - Cross-system Integration - Natural Language Interaction - Proactive Assistance **Screenshot Tools** - Comparative Analysis **Platform Content ** - Battlecards **Platform Reporting** - Customizable Dashboard - Benchmark Reporting ## Top Visualping Alternatives - [Klue](https://www.g2.com/products/klue/reviews) - 4.7/5.0 (436 reviews) - [Crayon](https://www.g2.com/products/crayon-crayon/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (385 reviews) - [SE Ranking](https://www.g2.com/products/se-ranking/reviews) - 4.8/5.0 (1,480 reviews)
