Key takeaways
- Versionista publishes no price for new customers because new accounts go to Fluxguard.
- Fluxguard costs $110, $220 or $550 a month for 25, 50 or 100 sites, with a free plan for 3 sites.
- AyeWatch starts at $9 a month and is the better pick for teams that want to hear about changes that matter, judged against a plain-English rule.
Versionista pricing is a short story in 2026: there is no price to pay as a new customer. Versionista's site says it is now part of the Fluxguard family and sends new accounts to Fluxguard, while existing accounts keep working. So for an operator budgeting a page-monitoring line item, "what does Versionista cost" really means "what does Fluxguard cost, and is that the right spend for what we do". This piece lays out the numbers and where a smaller budget goes further.
Fluxguard's price list
Fluxguard publishes its plans, all monthly in US dollars:
| Plan | Price | Sites | Versions kept per page | Users |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 3 | 3 | 1 |
| Standard | $110 | 25 | 25 | 3 |
| Plus | $220 | 50 | 100 | 5 |
| Premium | $550 | 100 | 100 | 10 |
The site counts assume about 10 pages per site, each crawled once a day, and usage is credit-based, so heavier crawling changes the picture. Paid plans come with a 7-day trial.
What climbing the ladder buys:
- Standard: custom filters, network blocks and form submission tracking for pages behind logins.
- Plus: custom AI prompts, AI summarization and a proxy network.
- Premium: consolidated AI email summaries, AI filtering, crawls as often as every 5 minutes, and webhooks.
For a compliance team that needs authenticated monitoring and stored versions, that ladder makes sense. For a five-person startup that wants to know when a competitor reprices, $110 a month is a lot of archive for a small question.
The cheaper archive
ChangeTower covers stored history at a lower price. Lite costs $12 a month, or $10 billed annually, for 25 pages checked every 24 hours with 30 days of snapshot history. Essential is $36 a month ($29 annually) for 100 pages checked hourly with 60 days of history. Business is $78 a month ($62 annually) for 200 pages, 6 months of history, Slack, webhooks and MCP. Its free plan covers 3 pages checked once a day.
The alert-first budget
Most operators do not need a record of every version. They need to hear about the handful of changes that require action. That is where AyeWatch is the better use of money.
AyeWatch has a Free Preview with three runs and no card, and paid plans from $9 a month. For an operator, the useful part is not the price list but how little noise reaches you. You write what matters in plain English, AyeWatch reads each change against that rule, and you hear only about the ones that pass, each with a short summary of what moved.
What that spend buys:
- A plain-English rule per monitor, judged by meaning, with a short summary in each alert.
- Several URLs under one rule, so a whole competitor section is one monitor.
- Topic monitoring across more than a billion sources, including news, forums and social platforms.
- Apps for web, iOS and Android. Paid plans add email, a daily digest, Slack, Discord, webhooks, a REST API and an MCP server.
A rough way to decide
| Your need | Sensible spend |
|---|---|
| Hear about material changes on competitor, supplier and policy pages | AyeWatch, from $9 a month |
| Keep dated snapshots of a few dozen pages | ChangeTower Lite or Essential, $12 to $36 a month |
| Track logged-in or complex sites with long version history | Fluxguard Standard and up, $110 a month and more |
| You already pay for Versionista and it works | Keep it; existing accounts are supported |
The operator's take
Before signing a Fluxguard contract because that is where Versionista points, check how often anyone opened an old version last quarter. If the answer is rarely, the money is better spent on AyeWatch's alert-first plans, with an archive kept only for the pages a lawyer might ask about. If the answer is often, Fluxguard is the honest choice and worth its price.
