What deltaFeed is
deltaFeed is a web service that turns pages without RSS into feeds reporting detected changes. It saves an initial version, then checks registered pages every six hours on the basic schedule. Users can monitor an entire page or identify a section with a CSS selector. Each monitoring receives an RSS URL for a newsreader, and email alerts can be enabled for individual pages. The dashboard links to the feed, source page, and latest change, while allowing deletion or email activation. Filtering may ignore advertising, social elements, small changes, or purely numerical changes according to a character threshold. Documentation includes Facebook and Twitter templates; Facebook monitoring is limited to open pages. The service offers free registration and a free plan. Plus costs €6.25 a month including VAT for up to 50 monitorings and two-hour updates. Pro costs €19.99 a month including VAT for up to 100 monitorings and 30-minute updates. Basic allows 15 personal monitorings with six-hour updates.
