Why Now?

More solo developers shipping products than ever. Each product needs monitoring. Enterprise tools are overkill. A simple, $9/mo monitor fills the gap perfectly.

Revenue Model

SaaS: $9/mo Starter (5 monitors, email alerts), $19/mo Pro (25 monitors, SMS), $49/mo Business (100 monitors, status page, API). SMS costs ~$0.01/alert.

Competitive Landscape

UptimeRobot

Most popular free tier. But free plan has 5-min intervals and no SMS. Paid starts at $7/mo with limited SMS

Pingdom

Solarwinds product. Starts at $15/mo but complex UI and enterprise-focused

Better Uptime

Modern UI, good product. But $29/mo minimum and focuses on incident management over simple monitoring
