Pricing

Uptime monitoring, page change detection and cron heartbeats in one account. Every plan includes all three — the plan decides how many of each, and how often they run.

A check is one visit we make to one of your pages. We load it, compare it to last time, and tell you if it changed or stopped responding. Checks are not credits: nothing is deducted, nothing expires, and nothing stops working when you have used a lot of them. The number below is simply your monitors and watches multiplied by how often we visit them.

What you can watch
Monitors Uptime, SSL certificate, domain expiry and API checks. Each one is a monitor and they share this allowance. Watched pages and heartbeats are counted separately, on the two rows below. 1 25 10 50 100
Watched pages Pages compared word by word for changes. Separate from monitors — a watch never uses a monitor slot. 1 25 10 50 100
Heartbeats Cron jobs and backups that call us when they finish. Also a separate allowance. 1 25 10 50 100
Fastest check interval How often a check can run. This is your worst-case detection delay. Every 30 min Every 5 min Every 10 min Every 5 min Every minute
Alerts
Email destinations How many addresses one monitor can alert. 1 3 2 3 5
Chat & webhook destinations Slack, Teams, Discord, Telegram, Flock and your own webhooks. 3 2 3 10
SSL expiry warnings Watch any HTTPS address and be warned before its certificate lapses. An SSL check is a monitor and uses one from the allowance above.
Domain expiry warnings Be warned before a domain registration lapses. A domain check is a monitor and uses one from the allowance above.
Page change detection Before/after images and a word-level diff for every recorded change.
Sharing and access
Status pages Public pages you can send customers during an incident. 1 10 5 20 50
Status page branding Your own logo, colours and domain.
Team seats People who can see and manage your monitors. They never see your billing. 3 1 10 25
API access Create and manage monitors programmatically.
Data export Download your incident and change history as CSV.
History kept How long incidents and recorded changes are stored. Unlimited Unlimited Unlimited Unlimited Unlimited

There are no SMS or voice-call alerts on any plan, and checks run from a single origin rather than several regions. Both are stated here rather than discovered later.

What the words mean

Three separate allowances, because they are three different jobs.

Uptime monitor
A site we request on a schedule to see whether it is still answering. It opens an incident when the response stops matching what you called healthy, and closes it when the site recovers. SSL and domain expiry warnings attach to a monitor and cost nothing extra.
Watched page
A page we fetch and compare against the previous version, word by word. You pick the region that matters and we ignore the rest, so a cookie banner or a rotating advert never wakes you. Every recorded change keeps a before and after image.
Heartbeat
The check that runs the other way round: your cron job or backup calls a URL when it finishes, and we alert you when that call stops arriving. It is the only way to catch a job that silently stopped being run at all.
There is no check quota. Most change-detection tools sell a monthly allowance of checks and stop checking when it runs out. Here a plan gives you slots and an interval, and the schedule simply keeps running. Nothing is deducted, nothing expires, and a busy month costs the same as a quiet one.

Frequently asked questions

What payment methods do you accept?
We support the following payment methods: PayPal account.
Can I change plans?
Yes, at any time. When you switch, the new plan is applied as soon as the payment is confirmed and the previous subscription is cancelled. Nothing you have set up is deleted by changing plans.
What happens if I downgrade below what I am using?
Nothing is deleted. Your existing monitors, watches and heartbeats keep running, but you cannot add new ones until you are back under the new limit. We tell you which allowance is full and by how much.
What happens when I hit a limit?
You get a message saying which allowance is full — monitors, watched pages, heartbeats or team seats — and the option to remove one or upgrade. Nothing stops working; you simply cannot add more of that one thing.
Is there a check quota?
No. Plans limit how many things you watch and how often, not how many times we look. A page checked every five minutes runs every five minutes, month after month, with nothing deducted and nothing to top up.
Do watched pages use up my monitors?
No. Monitors, watched pages and heartbeats each have their own allowance. Adding a watch never costs you a monitor, and the comparison table above shows all three separately.
What counts as a monitor?
An uptime check, an SSL certificate check, a domain expiry check or an API check — each one is a monitor and they all draw on the same allowance. So ten monitors could be ten uptime checks, or four uptime, three SSL, two domain and one API. Watched pages and heartbeats are counted separately and never touch this number.
Can I cancel my subscription?
Yes, at any time. You keep everything you have paid for until the end of the billing period, and then move to the free plan rather than losing the account.
What happens when my subscription expires?
The account drops to free plan limits. Your data stays; anything over the free allowance is paused rather than deleted, so resubscribing picks up where you left off.
Is annual billing cheaper?
Yes, on every paid tier — the annual price works out below twelve monthly payments. Both are shown on each plan above.
What is the Founding Member plan?
Launch pricing for the first twenty customers, at $5/mo for limits that otherwise cost considerably more. The price never rises for as long as the subscription stays active. Once the seats are gone the plan stops being offered, but everyone already on it keeps it.
Are there SMS or phone call alerts?
No, on any plan. Alerts go to email, browser push, Slack, Teams, Discord, Telegram, Flock and webhooks. If a phone call at 3am is a hard requirement, say so before subscribing — we would rather tell you now than refund you later.
Do you check from multiple countries?
No. Checks run from our own infrastructure, external to yours, but from a single origin rather than a global probe network. Enough to catch outages independently of your stack; not enough to tell you a site is down in Frankfurt but up in Ohio.
