I built StatusPing: Uptime monitoring that doesn't cost $79/mo

Source: Dev.to

Overview

I was paying $79/mo for BetterUptime to monitor my side projects. That felt insane for a simple “is my site up?” check, so I built StatusPing – the same core features for just $9/mo.

Features

• HTTP/HTTPS monitoring (checks every 60 seconds)
• Email, Slack, and Discord alerts
• Public status pages
• 90‑day uptime graphs
• Modern UI built with Next.js and Tailwind CSS

Pricing

• Free – up to 3 monitors
• Pro – $9/mo for up to 20 monitors

Tech Stack

• Framework: Next.js 14
• Database: PostgreSQL
• Hosting: Vercel

The entire stack costs roughly $5/mo to run, allowing the low pricing.

What features would you want in an uptime monitoring tool? I’m iterating based on feedback!
