# Rookflare

> Rookflare takes desktop and mobile screenshots of your pages, compares them with the version you approved and checks each page for server errors, broken images, JavaScript errors and search settings. On Growth and Agency it also checks whether your key URLs are up.

Alerts go by email on every plan, and by Slack, SMS for critical problems and an automatic phone call when a site goes down on Growth (50 SMS or calls a month) and Agency (200 a month).

Every page on this site is also available as Markdown at `<page>/index.md`, or by requesting the page with `Accept: text/markdown`. Prices are provisional until billing launches.
