Hey Product Hunt, I'm one of the makers of Uptime Umbrella.
We wanted an uptime monitoring service that focused more on simplicity than adding features. With Uptime Umbrella, you put in a website url and we send you an SMS — for $1 a month per url.
As much as big price tags seem to imply reliability, we realized the only real cost to HEAD a ton of sites async was the SMS notification, which is still pretty cheap. So why not pass that savings on to end users and add some fun (emojis! ☂️🎉) to help cut the stress of bad news? Uptime Umbrella is intentionally simple, and we hope you enjoy using it!

Hi @4lpine
So if I'm correct - the main advantage here is the speed of notification when something goes wrong with the website?
What was the reason choosing your brand name and claim ? It takes me a little longer to find out what is your service really about.
Anyway good luck with the product! :)
Hey @ivanlucansky, the main advantage here is that the pricing is not based around notification limits or buckets of urls. It's only $1 a month per url you add. We also found that most people we talked to through preferred an SMS notification so that's currently the only notification method we support (we also have plans to add Email and Slack notifications, too).
We chose the brand name because we like the alliteration that it provided. Though, based off your feedback it looks like we need to continue to improve our copy. We definitely don't want it to take long to find out what the service is about. We will try to update our copy today.
Thanks for checking it out!
