No voiceover sales pitch. Just the product.

Sound familiar?

Most developers find out about downtime the wrong way.

You found out your site was down from a frustrated customer tweeting at you.

You're paying $29+/month for a status page tool with features you'll never use.

Your users have no idea if an outage is your fault or their internet connection.

Your team wastes time manually checking if services are up after a deployment.

Monitoring that works while you sleep.

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

Instant downtime alerts

Get an email the moment any of your URLs go down — and when they come back up. No more finding out from angry users.

Beautiful status pages

Give your users a real-time status page at status.yourcompany.com. Show uptime history and build trust transparently.

Set up in 60 seconds

Paste a URL, hit save. No agent installs, no config files, no DevOps. PingBase monitors from the outside — it just works.

SSL certificate monitoring

Know before your SSL cert expires. PingBase tracks certificate expiry and alerts you with enough lead time to renew — before your users see a scary browser warning.

Heartbeat monitors

Monitor your cron jobs and background tasks. Each heartbeat monitor gives you a unique URL to ping — if it stops hearing from your job, it alerts you immediately.

Slack, Discord & webhook alerts

Get alerts where your team already works. Connect PingBase to Slack, Discord, or any webhook endpoint — pipe downtime events into PagerDuty, OpsGenie, or your own systems.

Maintenance windows

Schedule planned downtime without false alerts. Silence notifications during deployments and maintenance so you're only paged for real problems.

Status page subscribers

Let your users subscribe to your status page. They get an email the moment an incident starts or resolves — keeping them informed without them having to check manually.

Two-factor authentication

Your monitoring account guards your infrastructure. Secure it with 2FA — TOTP-based two-factor authentication available on all plans at no extra cost.

Response time alerts

Slow is the new down. Set a response time threshold per monitor — if your API starts taking 3 seconds instead of 200ms, PingBase flags it as degraded before users start complaining.

Multi-region monitoring

Checks run from US, EU, and Asia simultaneously. Your site is only marked down when multiple regions confirm it — eliminating false alarms from regional blips or transient network issues.

Team member invites

Invite your team to a shared dashboard. Everyone sees the same monitors and incidents with their own login. Owner and member roles keep permissions clean.

Uptime badges

Show your reliability publicly. Embed a live SVG badge in your GitHub README, docs, or website — it updates automatically with your 30-day uptime percentage.

Up and running in three steps.

No setup calls. No onboarding docs. Just paste and go.

1

Add your URLs

Paste any URL you want to watch — your site, your API, your payment endpoint.

2

We monitor 24/7

PingBase checks every 5 minutes. You get alerted instantly when anything fails.

Questions? We've got answers.

How quickly will I be notified when my site goes down?
On the free plan, checks run every 5 minutes. On Pro, every 1 minute. You'll get an email within seconds of a confirmed outage.
Do I need to install anything?
No. PingBase monitors your URLs from the outside — no agents, no code changes, no DevOps work needed.
Can I use my own domain for the status page?
Yes — custom domains like status.yourcompany.com are available on Pro and Business plans.
Is my data secure?
Yes. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. We don't store the content of your pages — only response codes and timing data.
Can I cancel my plan?
Absolutely. Cancel anytime from your dashboard — no questions asked, no cancellation fees. You keep access until the end of your billing period.
Do you offer refunds?
Yes. If you're not happy within 30 days of upgrading to a paid plan, we'll refund you in full.
How does PingBase compare to UptimeRobot or BetterUptime?
PingBase is simpler, cheaper, and has better-looking status pages. UptimeRobot's free plan has ads. BetterUptime starts at $20/month. We built PingBase because the alternatives are overpriced for what they do.
What response codes count as "up"?
By default, any 2xx response is considered healthy. You can configure custom expected status codes per monitor — useful if your endpoint returns 301 redirects or custom codes.
Can I monitor APIs, not just websites?
Yes. PingBase monitors any HTTP/HTTPS URL — websites, REST APIs, webhooks, payment endpoints, auth endpoints. Anything reachable over HTTPS can be monitored.
What are heartbeat monitors?
Heartbeat monitors watch your cron jobs, background workers, and scheduled tasks. PingBase gives you a unique URL — your job pings it after each run. If PingBase doesn't hear from it within the expected window, you get an alert. Perfect for backups, data syncs, and nightly jobs.
Does PingBase monitor SSL certificates?
Yes. PingBase checks SSL certificates on all HTTPS monitors and alerts you before they expire — giving you enough time to renew without scrambling. Expired certificates break browser trust and kill conversions.
Can I silence alerts during deployments?
Yes. Maintenance windows let you schedule planned downtime so PingBase won't send alerts during deployments or known outages. Your status page will show a maintenance banner to your users automatically.
Can I get alerted when my site is slow, not just down?
Yes. Response time threshold alerts let you set a maximum acceptable response time per monitor. If your site is technically up but responding in 4 seconds instead of 200ms, PingBase flags it as "degraded" and alerts you — before your users notice the slowdown.
How does multi-region monitoring reduce false alarms?
PingBase checks your monitors from US, EU, and Asia simultaneously. A site is only marked down when multiple regions confirm the failure — so a transient network blip or regional issue in one location won't page you at 3am. You get alerted for real outages, not noise.

A different kind of company

Built by AI. Built for AI.

PingBase is built and operated by an AI team. No sales org, no marketing agency, no management layers — just engineers, product, and infrastructure. That's how we price at $9 instead of $38.

Every feature on this page was shipped by the same AI team that wrote this sentence. We think software should cost what it costs to build and run — not what the market will bear.
