Show HN: Pingr – Uptime Monitoring

tillcarlos · on Aug 23, 2020

I saw this product earlier on HN. I use uptimerobot but it always looked a bit too simple to me.

So I just subscribed to the trial of pingr.io. It looks very complete. Also the early bird option is appealing.

There was a small bug and the founder already shipped a fix, on a Sunday. He definitely knows the hustle.

What's cool: it can also check for keywords and headers. I guess I could also use basic auth with it. Perfect to check on my backups, which are a behind a basic auth.

Thank you!

Indeed, it was a bug.

I work on this product every day, and bugs is like an alarm for me, these I try to fix ASAP.

Seems expensive compared to something like uptimerobot

Pricing was always a pain for me.

My excuse is that I include all features in all plans.

If you need to monitor 1 site and its SSL certificate it'll be 7$/mo for uptime robot. Or if you need to setup custom headers etc.

I take the pain away, like any feature is included and I'm going to constantly improve it.

But yeah, Uptimerobot is kind of big player on the market
