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.

How It Handles Real Workflows

- Read the AI summaryAI explains: "Changed battery life claim from 12 hours to 15 hours. Added waterproof rating IP68."
- Track specific elementsUse CSS selectors to monitor just the specs table or feature list, ignoring other page content.
- Compare screenshots tooVisual comparison shows layout changes alongside text diffs for the complete picture.
- Compare screenshots manuallyStillio captures before/after screenshots. You need to visually scan both images to find differences.
- No text extractionStillio does not analyze page text. It only captures images. You cannot search or diff text content.
- No element-level trackingYou cannot target specific sections. The entire page is captured as a single screenshot.

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.
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.
