Visualping
General-purpose website change monitoring & AI summarization tool used for investment management, regulatory intelligence, compliance monitoring and competitive intelligence. For finance users it functions as an alerting / web-scraping layer on top of regulator, IR, pricing or news sites rather than a traditional market data feed. API, webhooks, most third‑party integrations (Slack/Teams/Sheets), bulk upload, reporting/export and faster check intervals (down to ~2 minutes) are restricted to Visualping for Business / Enterprise tiers.

Key features
- Monitor any website or selected area for visual, text or HTML/code changes, with AI that flags important changes and sends highlighted before/after screenshots in each alert.
- Flexible scheduling and thresholds: run checks as often as every 5 minutes (or 2 minutes on paid plans) up to weekly, and tune change‑percentage thresholds and double‑check options to reduce false positives.
- Advanced monitoring controls, including screen type (area, full page, mobile or page fold), configurable wait times, proxies, scroll/click/type actions and xPath/selector targeting for tricky elements.
- Multi‑channel notifications delivered to email and SMS by default, with optional Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Chat, Discord, Google Sheets and more via Visualping for Business integrations.
- Team dashboard and collaboration features for managing many monitored pages, reviewing change history, inviting colleagues and generating scheduled reports; reporting & export are available only on business plans.
- Investment management workflow: monitor price pages, press releases, regulatory approvals, competitor activity, share buybacks, patents and other market‑moving events to build your own web‑native data sets.
- Compliance & regulatory workflows: dedicated solution to monitor vendor, reseller, client and marketplace pages, privacy policies, disclaimers and legal updates, with AI impact analysis and breach alerts within about five minutes.
- RESTful web scraping API that can convert any website into an API, supporting on‑demand and scheduled jobs, targeted extraction and AI‑based conditions; API access is available for Visualping for Business customers via separate documentation.
- Webhooks and integrations push structured change data into third‑party systems (Slack, n8n, Zapier, Wide Narrow, Lindy.ai, Google Sheets and others) to drive downstream analytics, compliance or trading workflows.
- Credit‑based billing: each subscription comes with a monthly allowance of checks (“credits”); credits can only be used within the current billing cycle and do not roll over, with business plans offering volume discounts.
- Emphasis on “good bot” behaviour: low‑frequency, respectful crawling, no CAPTCHA circumvention, and a commitment not to resell scraped data or use monitored content to train AI models.

Curation & Accuracy
This directory blends AI‑assisted discovery with human curation. Entries are reviewed, edited, and organized with the goal of expanding coverage and sharpening quality over time. Your feedback helps steer improvements (because no single human can capture everything all at once).
Details change. Pricing, features, and availability may be incomplete or out of date. Treat listings as a starting point and verify on the provider’s site before making decisions. If you spot an error or a gap, send a quick note and I’ll adjust.
