What is the difference between uptime monitoring and heartbeat monitoring?
Uptime monitoring checks if an endpoint is reachable from the outside. Heartbeat monitoring checks if your scheduled tasks, cron jobs, background workers, batch processes, are actually running. Your server can be "up" while your nightly backup has been failing silently for a week.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. The Free plan includes 15 monitors with 5-minute checks, SSL monitoring, heartbeat monitoring, and a branded status page. No credit card required. Upgrade when you need faster checks or more monitors.
How fast will I know when something goes down?
On the Free plan, within 5 minutes. On Solo ($12/mo), within 1 minute. On Team ($29/mo), within 30 seconds. You choose the check interval per monitor.
Can I use PingWatchdog alongside my existing monitoring?
Yes. Many teams use PingWatchdog as a second opinion alongside tools like Datadog or Grafana. Our API lets you pull check results into your existing dashboards, so you get the benefit of a dedicated uptime monitor without replacing your stack.
