Hi Daniel, congrats on launching. I found out about your service via the recent ping.gg thread [1]. I have some questions/feedback: * How about a screenshot and feature list before I sign up. e.g. I can't tell if Monitority supports string or regexp checks against the content, custom request headers, etc.
* You mention "Registered users" and "Members" above, is that the same thing?
* I'm left a little skeptical and wondering what's the catch when I see just always free for unlimited URLs. I'd like to at least get some idea on monetisation and what might later be paid services. What would make me switch from my current monitoring service: * Throttle messages. I don't need 27 SMSs in 5 seconds just because the data centre goes down.
* Customer service (theirs is pants though Pingdom's is good I think) 1. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8774257 |

2. registered and members are one and the same. everyone get's unlimited urls. everyone gets sms alerts (and email and tweet)
3. We hear a lot: 'Why is it free' and 'how can you make it reliable and free' - For us, Monitority is an investment. It is our belief that there is huge value in a free monitoring product, and by that I don't mean the bait and catch freemium model - since we didn't find any serious free one, we set out to build it ourselves.
We don't plan to have monitoring paid services - we are focused on getting website owners & startup companies to use it.
What would make you switch? - I don't know exactly what you are getting from your current service - you can try us out (really simple on-board process) and see for yourself how you can save on your monitoring costs.
As we are free service, you are currently talking to customer service ;) feel free to contact me with any problem at daniel@monitority.com
Thanks for trying and for your valuable feedback.
