Industries

Every industry archives web content for different reasons. Law firms need chain-of-custody proof that holds up in federal court. Financial services teams answer to SEC Rule 17a-4 and FINRA's electronic recordkeeping requirements, where a missing page capture can mean a six-figure fine. E-commerce companies want to catch a competitor's price drop before their sales team hears about it from a customer.

Regulatory pressure drives most of the demand we see. Healthcare and pharma companies face FDA requirements around promotional content documentation, which means every product page, every ISI section, every patient-facing claim needs a timestamped record. Insurance carriers deal with state-level advertising compliance rules that vary across jurisdictions. Gambling and iGaming operators work under some of the strictest licensing conditions in any industry, where regulators can audit archived marketing materials with 48 hours' notice. For all of these, scheduled screenshots running on a fixed interval create the baseline archive that auditors expect.

Not every use case is about compliance, though. Marketing agencies archive client sites before and after campaigns to prove ROI. SaaS companies track competitor feature pages to spot positioning shifts. Real estate firms monitor listing sites. News and media publishers keep records of their own coverage for legal protection. The common thread is proof over time, and a browser bookmark folder doesn't provide that.

We built each industry guide below around three things: the specific regulations or business pressures that apply, the capture settings that make sense for that sector, and the export formats that satisfy auditors or legal teams. If your industry requires tamper-proof records, our PDF export with SHA-256 hashing produces verifiable documents. If you need visible proof of when a page was captured, watermark timestamps burn the date directly into the screenshot. And if you need to know the moment something changes, change alerts notify you by email within minutes.

One thing worth knowing upfront: we capture full-page screenshots, PDFs, and raw HTML, but we don't monitor mobile apps or native software. Our tool watches web pages. Every capture archives the page source alongside the screenshot, so you can search the HTML for specific text if needed. Automated text search is on our roadmap, but even now the archived HTML gives you a searchable record. For everything that lives at a URL, we've got it covered.

Browse the industry guides below to find yours. Each one includes real enforcement examples, recommended capture frequencies, and compliance archiving workflows specific to that sector. If you work in legal, our guide on screenshots as legal evidence pairs well with the legal firms page. For retention planning across any industry, our retention guide breaks down how long to keep captures and why.
