What's included

Four cheap monitoring layers.
One bill. Or no bill.

Most uptime services treat SSL, DNS, status pages, and consensus checks as paid add-ons. We treat them like table stakes.

The pitch, briefly

No AI. No "intelligent insights."
You pay for checks, not buzzwords.

Uptime monitoring is a solved problem. It needs to be cheap, fast, multi-region, and quiet until something is wrong. We don't have an ML team. We have a probe fleet.

FAQ

Reasonable questions, short answers.

Is the free tier really free? Forever?

Yes. 50 monitors, 5-minute checks, one region, email alerts, SSL renewal, DNS drift, one public status page. No card asked at sign-up. No trial timer.

What's the catch with no AI features?

There isn't one. We think anomaly-detection on HTTP 200s is a cute demo, not a product. You get raw signals and configurable thresholds. If you want ML, ship it to your alerts webhook yourself.

Can I use the free tier commercially?

Yes, including for client work and internal tools. We don't gate commercial use behind a plan, only check volume and feature depth.

How is this different from UptimeRobot?

SSL alerts, DNS drift, and status pages are free here and paid there. Pricing is per-plan and fixed; we don't quietly migrate accounts to new pricing. And we cap the feature list at four monitoring layers instead of forty.

Do you offer global consensus checks?

On Scale: a downtime alert is only emitted when 2 of 4 regions (US, EU, Asia, Australia) agree. Pro gets 3 regions. Starter gets 2. Free gets 1.

Can I self-host?

Not yet. The probe fleet is the product. If you need an on-prem proof-of-concept for procurement, use the support path in the docs.
