PingBase is dead-simple uptime monitoring and status pages for developers and small teams who find tools like Pingdom or Datadog overkill — both in complexity and price. Get HTTP(S) checks every 1-5 minutes, heartbeat monitoring for cron jobs, a public status page to share with customers, and alerts via Slack, webhook, or email. Free for 3 monitors; paid plans start at $7/mo for 20. No enterprise sales calls, no bloated dashboards — just know when something breaks.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I built PingBase after one of my side projects went down for 6 hours before a friend happened to tell me. I looked at existing monitoring tools and they were either enterprise-priced ($50+/mo) or so packed with features I'd never touch that I gave up setting them up.
PingBase is intentionally simple: HTTP(S) + heartbeat monitoring, a public status page you can share with customers, and alerts to Slack/webhook/email. Free for 3 monitors, $7/mo for 20.
Still pre-launch — I'm using this as a way to gauge real interest before finishing the backend. Would love your feedback: what would make you actually switch from whatever you're using today?

Would love to see maintenance windows you can schedule in advance so the alert noise stays quiet during planned deploys.

Finally something that doesn't make me click through five menus just to set up a basic ping check. The public status page came together in under two minutes.

Love that you capped the free tier at 3 monitors instead of forcing a card to trial the product, that's rare for monitoring tools. The whole pitch reads like someone who actually got frustrated by Datadog's pricing and built the thing they wanted.
