Frequently asked questions
How is PingGuard different from UptimeRobot?
PingGuard offers 1-minute checks on the Pro plan at $7/mo (UptimeRobot charges $7/mo too but with fewer integrations). We also include cron monitoring and beautiful status pages at no extra cost.
What happens when my site goes down?
We immediately send alerts to your configured channels (Slack, Discord, email, SMS). You'll know within 1 minute on Pro, 5 minutes on Free.
Can I monitor APIs, not just websites?
Yes! Monitor any HTTP/HTTPS endpoint. Check status codes, response bodies, headers, and SSL certificates.
Do you support cron job monitoring?
Absolutely. Create a heartbeat monitor, add one line to your cron script, and we'll alert you if it stops running.
Is there a free plan?
Yes! 3 monitors with 5-minute checks, forever free. No credit card required.
Can I create public status pages?
Yes, every plan includes a customizable public status page you can share with your users.
