I Built a Betterstack Alternative. Here's Why.

The Problem

If you're running a SaaS, a side project, or a handful of client sites, you need uptime monitoring. The monitoring companies know this — which is why they charge you for every single endpoint.

Betterstack starts at $24/mo for 10 monitors. Need 50? That's going to cost you. UptimeRobot's free tier only checks every 5 minutes. Atlassian's Statuspage starts at $29/mo and the UI looks like 2019.

The Insight

What if monitoring was just... simple? One price. Unlimited monitors. A status page that actually looks good and stays fast when your customers are panicking.

What You Get

• Unlimited monitors — $15/mo flat. Add 5 or 500, same price.
• 1-minute check intervals — Know within 60 seconds.
• Multi-region monitoring — US East, US West, and EU West included.
• Edge-cached status pages — Millisecond loads during outages.
• Incident management — Create, update, resolve. Auto-notify subscribers.
• HMAC-signed webhooks — Secure integrations you can verify.

How It Compares

Let's be transparent.

Betterstack has 30-second intervals — that's genuinely better on that metric. But at $24/mo for 10 monitors with per-monitor pricing, the cost adds up fast. We give you unlimited at 1-minute intervals for $15/mo flat.

What's the Catch?

We're early. PingBase is in beta. The product works — monitors check, alerts fire, status pages load — but we're still adding features. SSL monitoring, more regions, and team accounts are on the roadmap.

Get In Early

We're opening 500 founding spots. Founding members lock in $15/mo for life — even when we raise prices. Free tier included: 3 monitors, 3-minute intervals, email alerts. No credit card.
