Distill Web Monitor

Free and paid

https://distill.io/pricing/ on 20 Oct 2026 headed the card Start free. Stay free. Scale when ready. The visible prices were labeled per month: Free $0, Starter $15/mon, Professional $35/mon, and Flexi $80+/mon. An annual control was labeled 20 percent discount. The discounted dollar amounts were not transcribed, because the figures on screen already carried a per-month mark. Do not subtract 20 percent from $15 and call the result the annual price. Alert lines on the same table included 30 email alerts a month on Free, 2,000 webhook and email alerts on Starter, and unlimited alerts on Professional and Flexi. SMS was marked not available on Free, 100 a month on Starter, 250 a month on Professional, and 500+ a month on Flexi. Enterprise is a separate shared-watchlist path on that page, without a dollar figure in the block this listing read.

The homepage describes three steps: select parts of a page, let the service watch them, and receive an alert by notification, email, SMS, or an app. It also names cloud monitoring, a version history, and the ability to watch password-protected pages and PDFs. Those are the vendor's feature lines. This listing did not create a monitor, so it has no before-and-after pair to quote. The three headline figures, 5,123,320 monitors, 99.99 percent uptime, and 432,892 users, are the homepage's on 20 Oct 2026. They are not a measurement from this review.

• Homepage counts. 5,123,320 monitors, 99.99 percent cloud uptime, and 432,892 users were the homepage figures on 20 Oct 2026.
• Four monthly prices. Free $0, Starter $15 a month, Professional $35 a month, and Flexi $80+ a month. The 20 percent annual label was not converted into a new dollar.
• Not the Wayback Machine. Distill watches pages you choose. The public web archive already in this directory is a different product.

1. 1

   Pick the plan whose interval and check quota match the page you need to watch.

2. 2

   Treat an alert as a diff of the region you selected, then open the page before you brief a cause.

3. 3

   Use a public archive when the question is what the web looked like before you started a monitor.

• The homepage figures need a source tag. On 20 Oct 2026 distill.io printed 5,123,320 total monitors tracked, 99.99 percent standard cloud uptime, and 432,892 happy users. Those are the vendor's counts. This listing did not create a monitor and has no diff of its own. Archives and history is the nearest category, and the answer says the fit is weak.
• A price note is about to apply the 20 percent annual label as arithmetic. The pricing page showed Free at $0, Starter at $15 a month, Professional at $35 a month, and Flexi at $80+ a month, and labeled annual billing as a 20 percent discount. The discounted dollars were not the figures transcribed. Quote the per-month marks that were on screen.
• An alert is about to be briefed as the name of the editor. Distill says a selected region changed and can keep a version history on the plan that includes one. That history is the vendor's copy of your monitor. It is not the Wayback Machine, and it does not identify who changed the page.
