An Onwebchange alternative -
AI summaries, Slack + Telegram + Discord routing

Where the two products differ
What lands in the alert
Zikit
Plain-English AI summary: "Pro plan moved from $29 to $39/mo. Enterprise dropped free SSO." Plus a 1-10 importance score and a deep link to the full diff.
Onwebchange
Email containing the keyword that matched + a small piece of context. You read it and decide what it means.
Delivery channels
Zikit
Slack, Telegram, Discord, Webhook (JSON), and email. Per-monitor routing so pricing changes go to #pricing and vendor updates go to #platform.
Onwebchange
Email and RSS. No native Slack/Telegram/Discord/webhook integrations.
Element targeting
Zikit
One-click Chrome extension picker that writes a CSS selector for you, plus keyword overrides and a semantic-similarity noise gate under the hood.
Onwebchange
Keyword + region selection on the page. Selectors are written or pasted manually.
Free plan
Zikit
3 sites with unlimited pages each, daily cloud checks, AI summaries, email alerts. No credit card.
Onwebchange
Limited free tier with paid tiers above. Pricing scales with the number of monitored pages.
Pricing shape
Zikit
Flat monthly tiers per site: Pro $19/mo (20 sites, unlimited pages), Business $49/mo (100 sites, 15-min checks).
Onwebchange
Per-page pricing. Cheap if you watch a handful of URLs, scales linearly as you add more.
Public feeds + permalinks
Zikit
RSS + JSON Feed per tracked vendor. Every public catch gets a permalink at /catches/[id] you can share with stakeholders.
Onwebchange
Per-user RSS of your own monitors. No public per-vendor feeds, no shareable catch permalinks.
When Onwebchange is the better pick
Honest answer - sometimes it is. Pick Onwebchange if:
- You want a no-frills keyword-trigger email-alert tool for a handful of pages.
- You're allergic to AI interpretation and want the raw alert when your keyword fires.
- Your workflow is entirely personal (single inbox, no Slack/Telegram/Discord involved).
Zikit optimises for AI-summary output + modern team integrations + flat per-site pricing. Onwebchange optimises for cheap keyword-trigger email alerts on individual URLs.
Frequently asked
Is Onwebchange bad?
No. Onwebchange has been around for years and works fine for keyword-trigger email alerts on a handful of URLs. It's the right pick if all you want is "alert me when this page contains X" and you don't need AI interpretation, team channels, or per-vendor public feeds. Zikit makes the opposite trade: AI summary as the default, modern integrations, flat per-site pricing.
How do I migrate from Onwebchange to Zikit?
There is no automated import. The fastest migration is: paste your Onwebchange URL list into Zikit's bulk-add flow. Zikit will propose monitors and you accept them one-click. If you have a large list, email support@zikit.ai and we'll help.
Does Zikit still support keyword triggers?
Yes. You can attach keywords to any monitor; matches override the importance threshold and always alert. But you usually don't need to - the AI's importance score does the heavy lifting on most pages without manual keyword config.
Can I just track a single page with Zikit?
Yes. The Chrome extension adds a single page with one click. On the free plan you can have up to 3 sites with unlimited pages per site.
Is there a free plan?
Yes - 3 sites, unlimited pages per site, daily checks, AI summaries, email alerts. No credit card. Cancel anytime.
