Overview

Hexowatch, from Hexact, Inc. and previously marketed as Hexometer, watches any website for changes a business cares about: visual layout, page content, specific keywords, technology-stack changes, HTML source, uptime and availability, pricing and WHOIS or domain registration changes. It works across platforms such as WordPress, Shopify, Magento and Joomla without needing code installed on the monitored site itself, and can trigger alerts the moment a tracked page changes so a team is not left checking manually. An add-on residential proxy network supports monitoring sites that block standard scraping traffic.

Monitoring a competitor’s or partner’s website for price, content or technology changes sits close to standard competitive-intelligence practice, but a team should still only monitor sites it has a legitimate reason to track and respect each site’s own terms of service and robots directives where applicable. As with any change-detection tool, a site that changes its layout without changing meaningful content can produce noisy alerts, so filters and specific selectors are worth tuning early rather than monitoring an entire page indiscriminately.

Pricing includes monthly and annual billing options with tiers below Enterprise not detailed on the pages reviewed. Enterprise pricing starts from $999 a month and adds personalised onboarding, team training, campaign setup and a dedicated strategy consultant. A premium residential-proxy add-on is billed separately at 0.12 credits per megabyte of bandwidth used.
