Fully Managed ChangeDetection
as a Service
Deploy ChangeDetection as a fully managed service starting at €9/mo. Get automated backups, SSL, updates, support and monitoring included.
ChangeDetection.io is an open-source web-change monitoring tool — track price drops, restock alerts, regulatory bulletins, supplier terms updates, and competitor pricing pages — combining the convenience of hosted services like Visualping or Wachete with the security and control of self-hosted infrastructure. Release 0.55.1 added AI ruleset support via LiteLLM in April 2026.

FEATURES
What ChangeDetection does
WHAT'S ALWAYS INCLUDED
Every app. Fully managed.
Nothing extra to pay for.
Every app you deploy includes the full managed service — security, backups, updates, and support from day one.
WHY MANAGED
Why teams pick managed ChangeDetection
Two changes in 2026 pushed teams toward managed ChangeDetection.io. Release 0.55.1 added AI rulesets in April, making the tool the cheapest freshness layer upstream of any LLM workflow. The same quarter, Visualping's $100/month Business plan quietly dropped from 500 to 200 monitored pages — a 60% reduction in pages per dollar.
Running ChangeDetection.io in production is not hard to start. Docker Compose, one container, one volume. The difficulty arrives later. The Playwright fetcher leaks memory on long-running instances — the project wiki documents this directly — and large pages can push the Chrome subprocess from 200 MB to several gigabytes within hours. Notification routing through Apprise looks simple until you have 12 channels and per-watch templates. Filter rules that worked yesterday break when the monitored site adds a cookie banner. And then there's bot detection.
The most-cited operational pain in the project's own issue tracker is bot detection. GitHub issue #2198, opened 16 February 2024 by stevenengland and still open, documents that the default fetcher is "more and more incapable of scraping websites" as Cloudflare, JA3 fingerprinting, and anti-bot heuristics keep tightening. Discussion #3636 from November 2025, also still unanswered, is one user trying every proxy and every Browser Steps trick and getting blocked anyway. Community workarounds — patchright, undetected-chromedriver, FlareSolverr, residential proxies — exist, but tuning them per site costs hours that compound.
On DANIAN, every ChangeDetection.io instance ships with Playwright concurrency capped to your plan, stealth fetcher headers set by default, and per-watch proxy rotation available from the dashboard. We patch new upstream releases within a working day. SSL renewal, daily off-site backups, and live chat with a named engineer are included at €9.

No more maintenance headaches!
Finaly, I can relax and not bother with maintenance. Each of the softwares that we run on DANIAN is automated and running stable for couple months already. They even assist us with modifying the DNS records. Once we needed to modify the config of Nextcloud so that we are able to upload higher than 5GB files and they assisted us fast. I also love their documentation!

Best managed service
I previously ran Peertube, Mastodon, Mattermost and Mirotalk on other providers before switching to DANIAN. I was tired of handling the updates and backups myself. Not only that the performance is "out of this world" fast, but their tech support is amazing. Since then I added 5-10 more Apps on my account. I also love how they add more softwares on their list constantly!

Love the personalized service!

n8n runs excellent
David Hartmann
Smooth experience
I needed a way to manage the projects and files for my company. This was the first time I learn about opensource. I asked their support and livechat and they assisted me immediately. I started with Openproject. Later I added Nextcloud. My team were able to get used to the apps fast.

Love the freedom
I wanted to use a crm for my startup. I signed up for the free trial. Tried out espocrm and dolibar and picked one. Their dashboard is very easy for a beginner. I recommend them and feel confident in choosing them.
Elias Koch
Wow just wow
After discovering DANIAN, I wished I'd found them sooner — their solution is excellent and deserves wider recognition. Very good solution!
Tyler Hollander
Professional tech support!
Bastian Engel
Their support team is the best!
I had a problem with my card and the subscription could not be renewed in time. I notified their support and surprisingly, they showed much understanding. They basically left my apps run until I solved the card issue. Other providers would have deleted my data in a heartbeat. This is the way to build client-vendor trust!
George Adams
Fair price and fast
4 months ago I activated n8n, Uptime kuma, Vaultwarden and Paperlessngx. So far everything is perfect. The performance of all apps is excellent. I contacted their support team couple times for using custom subdomains for the apps and they were fast and kind. I'm constantly recommending them to my network!
Atanas
Vaultwarden 10/10
I wanted to selfhost a passwords manager for my company but I didn't trust the mainstream providers. I tried out Vaultwarden for the free trial. I loved how their support team communicated with me professionally but still kind. I know that I can contact them whenever with whatever question I have. Recommended!

Everything just works!
My focus is on my business, not running servers. I love that I can lauch any app without having to think about the tech behind it. Everything just works!
Tony Roy
Awesome support team!
Filip
Very proactive!
Today couple of the videos on my Peertube got viral. Before I even noticed, their support have notified me via email that they proactively upgraded my app with more cpu & ram so that it continues to work without any downtime. They left the upgraded app with the added resources for couple days until the traffic stabilizes. After that I had the possiblity to stay on the same plan or keep the upgraded plan. Out of gratitude I stayed on the upgraded one.

Win-win!
I run a web design biz. After I perform the work for my clients, they constantly ask me for more software solutions. So I partnered with DANIAN. Not only I provide the requested softwares for my clients and get the increased revenue boost by delegating all to DANIAN, but also for those clients that wish to order directly from DANIAN, I send them an affiliate link. Win-win on all sides!

Awesome customer service
I needed to add analytics on my website but I didn't know anything about DNS. Their team guided me at all phases and they performed the changes for me. Additionally they were transparent and notified me of every change applied and steps performed.
Gabriele Marino
Good admin dashboard
Not only that I got Chatwoot, I also have access to the management dashboard. I love that I can view my hourly/daily usage and perform manual backups and restorations if needed. I don't need the level of control but it feels good to know that I have it if I need it.

Great service!
I configure custom Matomo tracking for my clients as a monthly service. Many of my clients were asking if they can selfhost Matomo instead of using the Cloud service. My employee recommended DANIAN. Basically, I can activate as much Matomo's in any of 20+ countries the same day. Additionally the affiliate revenue is a nice bonus.
Jacob Turner
Smooth experience
I was listing through youtube tuts on how to install Bookstack myself. Then randomly, I found their video playlist exactly for Bookstack. Got curious and went at their website. For the same price (or higher) that I would pay for just the VPS, with them I'm getting a fully managed Bookstack. It's a no-brainer decision!

Its a great service
Its a great service. I love the performance of my Mastodon community. It keeps on growing and I don't have any worries about backups, secuirity, updates, etc.
Vinícius Rocha
Very intuitive solution!
I wanted to use a nocode software for my company. A friend recommended them so I tried both Baserow and NocoDB, couple days later picked one.

USE CASES
Three teams who run ChangeDetection on DANIAN
Three example team types, three configurations. Composite profiles built from documented workloads — agency competitor monitoring, regulatory tracking, and e-commerce supplier oversight. The integrations, intervals, and watch counts below match what teams of these sizes actually ship.
8-PERSON MARKETING AGENCY
Replacing a $100/month hosted plan after the per-page cap dropped
Germany region. 280 watches across 35 client accounts; Playwright fetcher on 40% (competitor e-commerce), basic HTTP on the rest. Apprise routes to one Slack channel per client plus a weekly RSS digest. Conditional rule fires only when an H1 or pricing element changes — footer copyright years filtered out. Intervals: 4 hours on landing pages, 1 hour on competitor pricing.
3-PERSON LEGAL-TECH STARTUP
Monitoring sanctions lists and regulatory bulletins on a 15-minute cadence
UK region. 95 watches across UK Companies House, the FCA register, ASA rulings, ICO enforcement notices, and consolidated sanctions lists. All basic HTTP fetcher except six Playwright watches for opposing-counsel firm sites. 15-minute checks on three sanctions endpoints; daily everywhere else. Apprise routes to Microsoft Teams plus SMTP relay to client matter inboxes.
12-PERSON E-COMMERCE OPS TEAM
Replacing a cron-and-grep setup with proxy-rotated price monitoring
Canada region. 420 watches: 180 supplier terms-of-service and MAP-pricing pages, 110 competitor SKUs with "alert if price drops more than 5%", 80 marketplace policy pages, 50 carrier rate pages. Playwright fetcher on 70%. Browser Steps records the Amazon Seller Central login flow once. AI ruleset suppresses cosmetic CSS-class diffs across the board.
COMPARISON
Four ways to run ChangeDetection
The same monitoring outcome — a Slack alert when a watched page changes — has four cost shapes. Hosted SaaS, self-hosted on a VPS with your own ops time, a home server, or fully managed by us. The math is below at three workload sizes.
| PATH | 1 USER - 50 PAGES - DAILY | 5 USERS - 200 PAGES - HOURLY | 10 USERS - 500 PAGES - 15-MIN | OPS TIME / MONTH |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hosted SaaS Visualping Business plan | $10/mo (Personal) | $100/mo (Business 20k) | $250/mo (Business top) | 0 hours |
| Self-host on a VPS $24/mo production-class VPS + ops | $44/mo + 5h time | $44/mo + 8h time | $44/mo + 12h time | 5–12 hours |
| Home server Synology DS923+ or HP ProLiant ML30 | €210–667/mo effective | €210–667/mo effective | €210–667/mo effective | 2–4 hours |
| DANIAN Managed ChangeDetection | €9/month | €9/month | €9/month | 0 hours |
VPS path includes $24 base + ~$5 object-storage backup + ~$15 monitoring, plus operational time at €60–120/hour. Home-server path includes amortised hardware, electricity at €0.30/kWh, business-grade internet, off-site backup, and operational time. Visualping pricing per their April 2026 pricing-explainer; Business 20k tier dropped from 500 to 200 monitored pages in 2026 at unchanged headline price.
BY INDUSTRY
ChangeDetection for specific industries
Four industries with concrete demands on a web-change monitoring tool — and the configuration we ship for each. Legal and regulatory teams want reliability and audit retention; agencies want speed and filter precision; e-commerce ops want proxy rotation and price triggers; OSINT investigators want stealth and immutable snapshot history.
