Congrats on your first project, landing page looks nice and clean!

My first thought checking the product: The pricing is insane.

Second thought: There is no list of features. It only pings a URL? How does it send notifications? Do I receive SMS alerts?

Who is the target audience? Why would I choose this over any other uptime monitoring solution, especially considering the much higher pricing (as someone else mentioned, UptimeRobot and others even have free plans). Some alternatives also provide multi-location monitoring, which makes sure that your website is up globally, not only in a specific region, without this feature I wouldn't pay for a monitoring system.

This space feels pretty crowded, with many interesting alternatives: https://uptimerobot.com/ https://www.pingdom.com/product/uptime-monitoring/ https://uptime.com/ https://www.statuscake.com/ https://pingr.io/
