Hello, Is there a free alternative to this website
[changedetection.io](https://changedetection.io) ?

I am looking for changes to the site, specifically I am waiting for
the shop/stores to do a promotion, i.e. lower the price on a product I
am interested in.

​

I am looking for something free that will send me a notification on my
phone/email/telegram etc.

​

These plug-ins from github are out of the question, because I don't
even know how to run them and I'm not always at home, so that the
server (my computer) is always on and watching the sites.

Check out https://sourceforge.net/projects/webchangemon/ , I've been
using it for a while and it's solid.

Runs on Windows, Linux, or RPi.

This is r/selfhosted... They have a self hosted version, I used it
earlier this year on my Unraid server (it's bundled in the app store
there). Why not host it yourself for free?

What do you mean a free alternative? You can literally selfhost
changedetection

You are asking on "Selfhosted" for an alternative solution to a free
selfhosted app, because you are too lazy for "Selfhosting". Wow.

Then why are you on selfhosted? Do you understand the concept of self
hosting?!?
