Visualping Overview

What is Visualping?

Visualping monitors any webpage and alerts you when it is updated. The alert is sent via email or text message but also via any team notification service like MS Teams, Slack and also API or by entering a row in a spreadsheet. Visualping AI recognizes when a change is important or trivial and flags this in the email. This allows you to filter and focus only on the most relevant changes. Our AI also summarizes what changed since the last time it checked the page so you can save time. Our email notifications attach a screenshot of page with a highlight of the change. Our dashboard provides more analysis tools. Visualping is used to automate monitoring of competitor websites, gain insight into market trends, product launches, pricing strategies, regulatory changes and thousands of other use cases.

What do you like best about Visualping?

I've been using Visualping for many years, likely close to a decade. I need to do occasional website tracking, and having tried a few alternatives, Visualping still came across as the most reliable. It simply works.

As a student, the free plans were sufficient for our needs for occasional checks on websites. As a working adult, the paid plans, are useful for mission-critical applications where I need checks on shorter intervals. The prices are also generally value for money for the corresponding features.

Ultimately, the website wins on ease of use. The settings are easy to understand and configure. Recently added AI summaries of changes are very accurate and useful as well.

I would find it hard to trust another provider for critical website checks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Visualping?

I can't think of anything negative about Visualping, but I do trust the developers will continue to bring up the competition as they have evolved and improved over the years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Visualping solving and how is that benefiting you?

Ability not just to monitor changes but analyse them so that time is not spent on reviewing. The false positive rate is also zero so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Visualping?

We've been using Visualping for a while now, and it's proven to be a highly effective tool for monitoring the buinsess websites that we use for our software updates. It highlights the exact changes that were detected. The side-by-side comparison images make it simple to spot even minor updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Visualping?

Sometimes it would stop automaticallly tracking a site even though i have it set to track automatcially every day until I manually update it. If there's any downside, it's that the free version can be a bit limited in the number of checks you can perform, so upgrading to a paid plan might be necessary for frequent monitoring. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Visualping solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our business relies on suppliers or vendors, Visualping can notify us of updates to their websites, like changes in product availability, or terms along with software updates. Tracking updates on specific industry websites, blogs and news sources, Visualping ensures we're always informed about new content or announcements that could impact our business.

What do you like best about Visualping?

I'm most impressed with Visual ping's ease of setup. I can quickly configure a few websites to monitor for specific changes and receive immediate notifications when those events occur. Even better, Visualping offers a free tier, making it highly accessible for experimentation. Apart from that, the AI summaries of the changed content are very nice, as those save quite a lot of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Visualping?

I'm not a fan of the some limitations of the free tier. While email notifications work, I need to upgrade to a paid tier to receive notifications via Slack or Discord. Moreover, the absence of support for other platforms like Telegram is disappointing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Visualping solving and how is that benefiting you?

Visualping helps me to stay up to date with the most important websites of mine where I'm unable to subscribe directly to the website for changes. Therefore, I'm getting notified if something is changed on a watched website. With the AI summary of Visualping, I can quickly review the changes to decide if I have to review that website again or not. This saves quite a lot of time and also the annoying thing of checking the websites every day manually for a change. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Eric Do Couto of Visualping

Thanks Jonathan for the review and your feedback. We've recently upgraded the Free tier to receive AI summaries to make the notifications even better.

We appreciate you being a Visualping user!

What do you like best about Visualping?

Fast alerts and option for text notifications. Easy to create, suspend, and resume jobs for different sites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Visualping?

While the CONCEPT and layout is great, the main issue is that this software simply doesn't work for approximately 75% of the web pages I want to use it on. High false alarm rates for restocks of OOS items, and it won't work with any site that uses bots (ie., the "captcha" or "verify you are human" tests).

Walmart? Nope. Target? No. PokemonCenter? Sorry that's an no-go. Costco? Nope.

The only site of interest I have gotten this to work well on is BestBuy.com. Yet for a subcription that costs around $300/year or more, this simply isn't anywhere near worth it. That being said, if VisualPing could actually figure out their stuff and get the software to do what it's supposed to, then this app would be amazing. Until then though... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Visualping solving and how is that benefiting you?

Restock notifications for out of stock items so I don't have to manually check. However, only works with about 1/4 sites although depending on your use case, may differ. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Visualping?

I absolutely love the ability to monitor changes to web pages.

One of my favorite is monitoring changes to our home and business tax records. if there are are any changes, we know within minutes, not until it might too late.

Setting up is very easy and it is basically set and forget.

Additional insight I wish to share with business owners. After another year of use, we have saved over 310 man hours! What a human use to do, Visual Ping has replaced those actions and does it just as well. Money we can put back into our business! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Visualping?

I really have not found any down sides. There are some false positives from time to time, but not many. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Visualping solving and how is that benefiting you?

After using Visual Ping for personal use, we decided to use it in our daily business needs and do not regret the decision one bit. It has been God sent!

We also monitor changes to our home and business tax records. These days it seems so easy for bad actors to steal your property right out from under you. We highlight the owners area at county tax site and if changes, we would know within minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Visualping?

I like that their product is easy to use and the setup only took 2min.

I also like the accuracy of the visual ping I get. It accurately detects even the smallest changes on the website and alerts me. The checks can happen in as low as every 15 min which is great.

The changes are not just for changes in text but also images. This is incredible. I have applied to jobs and booked tickets earlier than others since I knew about the changes on the job website or event website before others could find out about them Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Visualping?

Nothing. Love the product. I would want more websites to be offered to put alerts on in the free version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Visualping solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps in alerting whenever there is a change on a website.

I have applied to jobs and booked tickets earlier than others since I knew about the changes on the job website or event website before others could find out about them.

I also use it to monitor changes on websites of my competitors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Eric Do Couto of Visualping

Thanks for the review - we're glad Visualping is helping you to monitor Competitors and get notified about changes on websites relevant to you.

What do you like best about Visualping?

I've been using Visualping for 2 years now and I'm absolutely hooked! It's an incredibly useful tool for anyone who needs to stay up-to-date on website changes.

I love how easy it is to set up and use. The interface is intuitive, and you can start monitoring websites in just a few clicks. The alerts are timely and accurate, and I appreciate the option to customize the frequency and type of notifications.

One of the features I find most valuable is the ability to track specific elements on a page. This allows me to focus on the information that matters most to me, without being inundated with irrelevant changes.

Overall, I highly recommend Visualping to anyone who wants to save time and stay informed about the websites they care about. It's a game-changer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Visualping?

Higher subscriptions are a bit expensive, but so far I've made do with the Starter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Visualping solving and how is that benefiting you?

I can monitor changes on several pages fully automatically, which saves me a lot of time and helps me focus on more important things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Visualping?

It offers a wide range of options, enabling you to customize each check to your specific needs. For instance, you can set it to compare either text changes on a page or visual changes only. Our team finds the daily automated checks to be extremely beneficial. If any changes are detected based on your criteria, you receive an email notification containing sufficient information to help you decide whether further investigation is necessary. In this respect, we believe it provides excellent value for money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Visualping?

One major drawback is that you'd need to create separate checks for the same page if you want it to be tested for both desktop and mobile screen sizes. In most cases, we want all pages to be tested for both viewports, which means we have to use twice the credits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Visualping solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our team needs to be informed about any changes to our clients' websites as soon as they occur. It's crucial for us to act quickly when a change is due to an error. Additionally, it's important for us to be aware of any genuine content changes that our clients make to their website's most important web pages. This tool notifies us whenever any of these events occur, eliminating the need for us to manually check web pages daily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
