Website uptime monitoring
We ping your URLs every 5 minutes (or every minute on Pro) from a global edge. Status code, response time, and body hash are recorded for every single check — no sampling, no averaging.
Website uptime checks, API monitoring, and a public status page in one calm dashboard. Free tier covers three URLs forever — no card, no trial, no expiry.
No credit card required.
We ping your URLs every 5 minutes (or every minute on Pro) from a global edge. Status code, response time, and body hash are recorded for every single check — no sampling, no averaging.
Every account gets a public status page at pingpane.com/s/your-slug, auto-generated from your monitors. 90 days of uptime history, an incident log, and a custom domain on Pro.
Email alerts the moment something breaks, after two consecutive failed checks so a single blip won't wake you. The recovery email arrives the same way.
Paste any URL — your homepage, an API endpoint, a webhook receiver. We verify it resolves and start checking immediately.
Synthetic HTTP requests run from a global edge. Every result is recorded in full and rendered live on your dashboard and public status page.
Email arrives within seconds of the second failed check. A second email confirms recovery. No alert fatigue, no flapping.

You start on Free. Upgrade to Pro at any time — you only pay from the day you upgrade, prorated. Cancel from billing settings, no retention call.
PingPane is new. The first 100 customers can lock in lifetime access — all current Pro features, no recurring fee, ever. After that, the offer is gone.

UptimeRobot is feature-rich and free for many monitors but its UI was built in 2010 and looks it. PingPane keeps the surface area small — three monitors free, twenty for $7/month — and ships a public status page in the box rather than as an upsell. If you want a dashboard you can read in three seconds and a status page you can share without embarrassment, that's the trade.
No. The free tier is genuinely free, forever, for 3 monitors. You only enter card details if and when you upgrade to Pro.
Free monitors are checked every 5 minutes. Pro monitors every 60 seconds. Each check records the full HTTP exchange — status code, response time, and a body hash — from a global edge.
An email lands in your inbox within seconds of the second consecutive failed check. We require two failures back-to-back before alerting so a single network blip won't wake you up. When the service recovers, the all-clear arrives the same way.
You can set the title, description, and ordering of monitors. Pro plans can point a custom domain (e.g. status.yourco.com) at the page via CNAME. We deliberately don't ship a theme editor — the page is supposed to look like PingPane so it stays trustworthy and fast.
Yes. Any URL that returns an HTTP response is fair game — REST endpoints, GraphQL servers, webhooks, health checks. We follow redirects, honour 5xx as down, and flag 4xx as down by default (configurable per monitor).
One click in your billing settings. No retention call, no clawback. Your data stays available in read-only form for 30 days afterwards in case you change your mind.
Your monitors and check history are private by default — only you can see them in the dashboard. Public status pages are opt-in per profile (you can flip the is_public flag off and the page is delisted immediately, including from our sitemap). We don't share data with third parties.
Three URLs. Free forever. No credit card.
