What is Stillio?

Stillio is a calendar-driven website screenshot archiver โ€” it takes a snapshot on a schedule whether the page changed or not, in 30+ geographies, with Google Drive / Dropbox sync. Excellent for "one snapshot a day no matter what" compliance archives; the wrong shape for "tell me when this page changes".

Where Stillio falls short

  • Screenshots only, no change detection

    No text diff, no element tracking, no AI summaries โ€” you compare snapshots yourself.

  • $29/mo floor, no free plan

    Entry tier starts at $29/mo. PageCrawl starts free, $8/mo for the first paid tier.

  • Thin notification options

    Designed around archive delivery (Drive / Dropbox), not Slack / Teams / Discord alerting.

  • No REST API or AI-assistant access on parity

    Claude, Cursor and ChatGPT cannot create or query monitors for you.

  • No team review workflow

    No review boards, no role-based access, no shared triage view for changes.

  • No login-protected page monitoring on parity

    Authenticated dashboards, supplier portals and members-only pages are not first-class.

  • No documents, feeds or inbound email

    PageCrawl ingests PDFs, Excel, RSS / Atom / JSON and inbound email as first-class engines.

  • No automatic page discovery

    PageCrawl crawls sitemaps and surfaces new URLs on every paid plan.

  • No defensible record of what changed

    A screenshot is not a signed, timestamped archive a compliance team, auditor or court would accept as evidence.

Key Advantages Over Stillio

Text Change Detection, Not Just Screenshots

PageCrawl detects and highlights exact text changes on any page. Stillio only captures screenshots with no text analysis.

AI Summaries and Noise Filtering

Every PageCrawl plan includes AI that reads changes and explains them in plain language. Stillio has no AI capabilities.

15,000 Checks for $8 vs 100 Screenshots for $29

PageCrawl Standard ($8/mo) includes 100 pages and 15,000 checks. Stillio Solo ($29/mo) includes only 100 daily screenshots.

How It Handles Real Workflows

Tracking text changes on web pages

A competitor updated their product description page. You need to know exactly which claims or specifications they changed.

PageCrawl
  1. View the text diffPageCrawl highlights every word that was added, removed, or modified. See exact before/after text.
  2. Read the AI summaryAI explains: "Changed battery life claim from 12 hours to 15 hours. Added waterproof rating IP68."
  3. Track specific elementsUse CSS selectors to monitor just the specs table or feature list, ignoring other page content.
  4. Compare screenshots tooVisual comparison shows layout changes alongside text diffs for the complete picture.
You know exactly what product claims changed and can update your competitive analysis immediately.
Stillio
  1. Compare screenshots manuallyStillio captures before/after screenshots. You need to visually scan both images to find differences.
  2. No text extractionStillio does not analyze page text. It only captures images. You cannot search or diff text content.
  3. No element-level trackingYou cannot target specific sections. The entire page is captured as a single screenshot.
You have screenshot archives but must manually compare images to find what changed in the text.

When Stillio Might Be the Better Choice

We believe in honest comparisons. Here are scenarios where Stillio could be the right fit.

You need calendar-driven snapshots regardless of change

Stillio captures on a schedule whether the page changed or not โ€” the right primitive for "give me one snapshot per day" compliance archives, ad verification, or legal evidence trails. PageCrawl is change-driven, so it captures only when something happens. If you specifically need fixed-cadence snapshots, Stillio is purpose-built.

You need geo-located captures from many regions

Stillio offers 30+ IP geolocations as a first-class feature for ad verification and regional landing-page checks. PageCrawl ships proxy support on Enterprise+ but not the same point-and-click country-rotation UX for systematic geo archives.

For everything else, PageCrawl gives you more features at a lower price.

The Bottom Line

For "did this page change?", PageCrawl is the right answer at a fraction of Stillio's $29-299/mo โ€” AI summaries on every plan, exact text diffs, element tracking, login pages, and a complete change history. Stillio is purpose-built for calendar archives (one snapshot per day no matter what) or Drive / Dropbox sync workflows. Pick Stillio only if scheduled archiving regardless of change is the whole point.
