Website monitoring for SaaS and startups
The product can be up while the marketing site, the docs, or the certificate on the apex domain is not. One price per site. Every check included. No free-tier jigsaw.
Best fit: Business. See pricing.
What goes wrong
-
The site that sells the product is the one that dies
App servers are paged. The marketing site is “someone else’s problem” until a launch-day screenshot shows a registrar holding page.
-
Docs and the apex domain rot quietly
A lapsed certificate on docs looks like the product is unsafe. Buyers do not open a ticket. They leave.
-
You already have too many tools
Per-monitor pricing trains you to skip SSL and domain checks. That is how those expire.
Plain English
Your SSL certificate expires in 6 days
Forward it to whoever holds the DNS. The detail is there if they want it. You did not have to configure a second monitor to get this.
What we watch
- Uptime and a keyword, so a deploy that serves the wrong page still alerts
- SSL certificate expiry
- Domain registration expiry
- Webhooks into the chat or pager you already use, plus email, push, and SMS

Questions
- Do you replace our APM or on-call tool?
- No. We watch the public website — the thing customers and buyers hit — and we can POST a webhook when it needs you.
- Can we watch the API or a cron job?
- Not yet. Heartbeats and API checks are on the roadmap. Today we watch HTTP, a keyword, SSL, and domain expiry.
- Why isn’t there a free plan?
- The market for a free ping is full. We charge so we can include SSL and domain expiry on day one, and so the trial is a serious look rather than a throwaway login.
- What does Business include?
- 15 sites, 5 people, checks every minute, every feature. Yearly billing is two months free.
