Distil
Distill monitors selected webpage content for changes and can send alerts through email, push notifications, or messaging apps.
About Distil
Distill monitors selected parts of a webpage for changes and sends alerts when something changes. Users choose the part of the page to track, and the service checks it in the background. Alerts can be sent by push notification, email, SMS, or apps. The homepage also lists Slack and Discord alerts in its description.
The homepage lists cloud monitoring that runs 24/7, a single dashboard for managing all monitors, a version history of changes, and monitoring of password-protected pages and PDFs. It lists usage limits of 25 local monitors, 5 cloud monitors, and 1,000 checks per month, but does not say which plan these apply to. Advanced requirements are directed to paid plans. The browser extension is listed for Chrome, Firefox, and Opera, and mobile tracking apps are mentioned. No geographic restrictions are stated. Cloud monitoring means checks run on the service's servers, so how data is handled depends on the service's own policies, which this entry does not assess.
