Most screenshot tools take a picture of a webpage and call it a day. You end up with folders of images and no idea what actually changed between Monday and Friday.

We built Snapshot Archive because we kept running into the same problem: knowing that a page looked different wasn't enough. We needed to know what changed, when, and by how much.

How it works

You add a URL, pick a schedule (every 5 minutes, daily, weekly — whatever makes sense), and we handle the rest. Every capture gets stored with full metadata: timestamp, viewport size, format. You can pull up any snapshot from any date and see exactly what the page looked like.

But here's where it gets interesting: we don't just store screenshots. We compare them.

Visual diff — the part most tools skip

Every time we take a new screenshot, our diff engine compares it with the previous one, pixel by pixel. If a competitor changed a price, swapped a headline, or quietly updated their terms page — you'll see exactly where. We highlight the changed areas, give you a percentage score, and let you set your own sensitivity threshold so you're not buried in noise from rotating banners.

Think of it as "track changes" for websites, but visual.

Alerts, not noise

Nobody wants to check a dashboard every morning. When something changes beyond your threshold, we send you an alert — email, Slack, or webhook. If nothing changed, you don't hear from us.

What people use this for

An agency tracks 30 client websites and needs to know if someone pushes a change that breaks the layout. An e-commerce team archives a competitor's pricing page twice a day — last Tuesday the competitor bumped their starter plan from $9 to $12, and the team spotted it within hours. A compliance officer at a fintech company needs timestamped proof that their disclosures page hasn't been altered between audits. A QA engineer sets up monitors for staging URLs and catches visual regressions before they reach production.

Different problems, but the pattern is the same: you need to know when a page changes, and you don't want to check manually.

Built for developers

Everything we do is available through a REST API. You can trigger captures, pull snapshots, download archives, or wire visual diff into a CI/CD pipeline. If your stack can send an HTTP request, you're good.

Pricing

Starts at $14/month for 20 monitored URLs. The free plan covers 3 URLs — enough to try it out without committing.
