Hello, Is there a free alternative to this website 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.

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.
