# Peekivo and PageCrawl: how they differ

PageCrawl is the better choice if you need very frequent checks (as often as every 2 minutes on its top plan), AI summaries and importance scores on each change, and a long list of integrations, all available today with a free plan. Peekivo is in early access with a waitlist; it is built around one approval step that shows the page, the rule and an earlier example before anything is watched.

## Where Peekivo is different

- You describe what you want to hear about in your own words, and Peekivo answers with one approval card: the page, the rule and an earlier example of a match. Nothing is watched until you approve it.
- A fixed rule decides whether you are notified. An AI model never hides a match from you.
- Each watch keeps its last attempt and its last successful read apart, so a page that could not be read never looks like a page that did not change.
- Peekivo does not get around logins, CAPTCHAs or bot walls. When a read is blocked, the watch says it was blocked.
- The proposed plans do not charge automatically for extra usage. Plan names, limits and prices are proposals until launch.

> This describes how Peekivo is built. It has not been tested side by side with PageCrawl, so nothing here says either tool is faster or more accurate.
