Answers before you start monitoring
Learn how sources, Smart Checks, notifications, plans, and privacy work.
What is AlterNudge?
AlterNudge is an AI-assisted monitoring workspace. Describe an outcome you care about in natural language, and AlterNudge checks public web evidence for a meaningful match.
How does it work?
Create a monitor with a plain-language prompt. Scheduled Smart Checks gather current public evidence, evaluate it against your condition, and save any result with supporting sources.
What can I monitor?
Common examples include competitor launches, pricing changes, product availability, industry news, AI model updates, policies, and meaningful website changes. Monitoring is intended for lawful, publicly accessible information.
Do I need to provide a URL?
No. Add a URL when you know the source you want to watch, or leave it blank and let AlterNudge search relevant public web sources.
Can I add multiple URLs?
Yes. You can add several public URLs when the evidence may appear across multiple known sources.
What happens if I provide no URL?
AlterNudge uses your prompt to discover relevant public sources, then evaluates fresh evidence against the condition you described.
What is a Smart Check?
A Smart Check is a scheduled evaluation that combines public web evidence with AI-assisted judgment. It looks for a meaningful match rather than flagging every cosmetic edit.
How often does AlterNudge check?
New monitors begin on a daily cadence. Timing can vary within safe service limits, and temporary provider errors can delay a check. Your workspace shows the current monitor status.
How do notifications work?
AlterNudge supports in-app and email notifications for matching results. Notification preferences are managed from your App account settings.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The free plan includes one monitor, 15 Smart Checks per period, and 3 manual checks so you can try the workflow.
What are the paid plans?
Starter is $19 monthly or $190 yearly. Pro is $39 monthly or $390 yearly. Each upgrade provides higher usage limits; see Pricing for the current plan summary.
Can I cancel?
Yes. Paid subscriptions can be managed through the secure Paddle customer portal from Billing. Cancellation timing and refund eligibility are explained in the Refund & Cancellation Policy.
How is my data handled?
AlterNudge uses account and monitor data to provide the service, limits payment handling to Paddle, and does not sell personal data. Read the Privacy Policy for details.
