Free Tier Value
This free tier is a genuinely usable starter package: it includes a small but real set of monitors across uptime, page speed, domain, and SSL, plus integration alerts, while staying capped well below the paid tiers. The cheapest paid plan starts at about $20.41/month, and the free plan delivers roughly a quarter to a third of that practical monitoring capacity, so about $3/month is a fair buyer-side estimate. The page also offers a 7-day trial on paid plans with no credit card required, but the free tier itself is perpetual and capped rather than unlimited.
