Free plan
Free website change monitoring -
no credit card, no 14-day trick
Zikit’s free plan tracks 3 sites with unlimited pages on each, runs daily AI-summarized checks, and emails you when something meaningful changes. No card on signup. Stay free as long as you want.
What’s actually free
3 sites
Each site can hold unlimited pages. Point 15 URLs at 3 domains and you’re still in free.
Daily checks
Pick a daily or weekly schedule per monitor. Your first check runs within 15 min of creating the monitor.
AI summaries
Every detected change comes with a plain-English explanation and an importance score 1-10.
Email alerts
You set the importance threshold. Anything below the threshold gets filtered out instead of pinging you.
Noise filter
40+ patterns strip timestamps, session tokens, rotating testimonials. You’re not woken up by cosmetics.
Chrome extension
One-click monitoring from any page. Visual CSS picker to target a specific section.

Free plan questions
Is the free plan really free forever?
Yes. No trial, no credit card, no 'free for 14 days then we start charging' trick. You can stay on the free plan as long as you want.
What counts as a site on the free plan?
A site is a domain. You can monitor up to 3 domains, with unlimited pages on each. So one 'site' slot can cover competitor.com/pricing, competitor.com/blog, and competitor.com/changelog.
How often does the free plan check my pages?
Once per day on a schedule you pick. If you need hourly or 15-minute checks, that's the Pro ($19/mo) and Business ($49/mo) upgrade.
What's the catch?
There isn't a deceptive one. The real limit is check frequency and site count. If you need to watch 20 competitors hourly, the free plan won't cut it - that's exactly when Pro earns its price.
Does the free plan include the AI summaries?
Yes. Every detected change on free, Pro, and Business gets an AI summary with importance 1-10. You're not reading raw diffs.
What if I want to track more than 3 sites?
Upgrade to Pro ($19/mo for 20 sites) or Business ($49/mo for 100 sites). Both come with hourly or 15-minute checks, more alert channels, and longer history. 30-day money-back guarantee.
Start in 30 seconds. Stay free forever.
3 sites, unlimited pages on each, daily AI-summarized alerts. Never a credit card.
