About
FlareWarden is an uptime monitoring service that automatically discovers related dependencies after a user enters a website URL. It scans for SSL certificates, DNS providers, payment gateways, CDNs, content checks, cron jobs, and other third-party services, then runs checks from multiple regions and continents before sending alerts.
The free plan includes 15 monitors, 5-minute checks, 1 status page, 2 team members, and 2 webhooks with no credit card and no expiration. The pricing page also states that paid plans start with a 7-day trial and that the free plan remains available indefinitely.

- 5-minute monitoring interval

Free Tier Value
This free tier is genuinely usable and perpetual: it needs no credit card, never expires, and includes a meaningful starter quota rather than a short trial. Compared with the $10 Starter plan, it gives about 15/30 monitors plus the same core monitoring types, status page access, team access, webhooks, and multi-region verification, but with slower checks and tighter limits, so its practical value is about $4/month.
