Why Teams Switch from Stillio
Text Change Detection
PageCrawl detects and highlights exact text changes. Stillio only captures screenshots with no text analysis or diff capabilities.
AI-Powered Summaries
Every PageCrawl plan includes AI change summaries and noise filtering. Stillio has no AI features.
More Value for Less
PageCrawl Standard ($8/mo) includes 100 pages and 15,000 checks. Stillio Solo ($29/mo) only gives 100 daily screenshots.
More Notification Channels
Slack, Discord, Teams, Telegram, Google Sheets, and more are all included. Stillio only supports email and Zapier.
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 — 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.
Where Stillio Genuinely Outperforms PageCrawl
No tool wins on every dimension. These are the areas where Stillio is the stronger choice today, so you can make an informed decision rather than a marketed one.
Scheduled snapshots regardless of change
Stillio captures on a fixed schedule whether the page changed or not, which is the right primitive for time-series compliance archives where you need a snapshot per day even when nothing moved. PageCrawl captures during change detection runs, so the schedule is change-driven rather than calendar-driven.
30+ IP geolocations and ad-verification UX
Geo-targeted screenshot captures across 30+ regions out of the box. Useful for verifying region-specific landing pages, ads, and SERPs. PageCrawl supports geo-proxies on Enterprise+ but the workflow is built for monitoring, not for systematic geo archives.
Google Drive / Dropbox sync for archive delivery
Stillio syncs captured screenshots directly into existing Google Drive and Dropbox folders, which fits a "screenshots-as-files" workflow some legal/compliance teams have already built around their existing storage. PageCrawl exposes screenshots via the platform and API but does not ship a native Drive/Dropbox sync.
If any of these are deal-breakers for your workflow, Stillio may be the better fit. Otherwise, PageCrawl covers the rest at a lower price.
For most buyers asking "did this page change?", PageCrawl is the right answer at a fraction of Stillio's $29-299/mo: AI summaries on every plan, exact text diffs, element tracking, login pages, and a complete change history. Stillio is purpose-built for "give me a snapshot every day no matter what" calendar archives or Google Drive/Dropbox sync workflows — niche, mostly compliance/ad-verification use cases. Start with PageCrawl; only reach for Stillio if you specifically need scheduled archiving regardless of change.
