JobNotify vs Distill

Distill tells you when a slice of a web page changes. JobNotify tells you when a company posts a new job.

If all you need is a ping that some HTML moved, a general monitor is enough, and Distill is a serious one. The details below are from distill.io/pricing and distill.io/docs, copied 2 Sep 2026.

FeatureJobNotifyDistill
JobCompany careers pages you choose, including ATS and custom boards. Not a job board.Watches a web page, a JSON feed, or a PDF for changes, from a browser extension, the web app, desktop, or a phone. It is not reading the page as a list of jobs.

Multiple job titles, location, description, and exclude words are paid-plan filters. Custom filter requests are Super-only.A part of the page you select, with XPath, CSS, or JavaScript. Changes to text, attributes, or properties. A text pattern if you want one. JSON monitors from Starter up, and PDF monitors in the cloud. You can add conditions before it alerts.
Pages other tools cannot readCustom careers pages and JavaScript pages on every plan. Protected job boards: Pro 1, Super 5; Free and Starter 0.Distill tells you when the bit of a page you selected has changed. It is not reading that page as a list of jobs (distill.io/pricing, 2 Sep 2026).

Where Distill has the edge

  • Checks that run in your browser can look every 5 seconds, on every plan, including the free one, as long as the browser stays open.
  • You also get cloud checks, JSON checks from the Starter plan up, PDF checks, a visual selector (you point at a piece of the page), and macros. They are happy to stay a free tool for a lot of people.

Where JobNotify has the edge

  • It matches job titles and locations, instead of asking you to aim a selector at the right box.
  • The check schedule follows the plan, from every 24 hours on Free to every hour on Super. Protected job boards are on Pro (1) and Super (5) only.

So, which one?

If you like pointing at one box on a page and hearing when that box changes, Distill is built for that. If you want an email that a company posted a role with the title you asked for, that is JobNotify.

FAQ

Is Distill a job board?
No. JobNotify is not one either. Distill watches a change on a page. JobNotify emails you a matching job.
Can I watch any company on JobNotify?
A public careers page whose robots.txt allows automated checks. Protected job boards, the ones that need a browser and do not disallow us, use a separate and smaller cap.
Where should I verify Distill facts?
https://distill.io/pricing/ and https://distill.io/docs/web-monitor/what-is-visual-selector/. We read those on 2 Sep 2026.
