Looks nice! I currently use a free version of Uptime Robot and have no idea how they monetize.

A helpful piece of info on your landing page would be to include the frequency with which you'll ping my server. UptimeRobot does every five minutes for free so more frequently would be nice.

In general though it would be hard for me to switch because Uptime Robot is free and gives me adequate service.

Thank you very much for your comment.

You are right, Uptime Robot is very similar and it's free.

Currently Monitoria supports only 5-minute monitoring frequency. But it would be pretty easy to allow 1-minute intervals.

You said you are getting only adequate service from Uptime Robot. What features are you missing? Is there anything groundbreaking which would make you switch?

Thanks, Robert

From time to time I consider paying for their pro plan but haven’t pulled the trigger yet because of the infrequency of downtime on my sites vs. the monthly cost.

You could build a bare bones version of uptime robot with minute interval checks and charge maybe $36/year for fifty checks and I would start to consider it. But like with uptime robot I’m not sure!
