You need uptime monitoring, not an enterprise incident platform. Get more for less.
$25/mo for features most people never use. You just want uptime checks, not an enterprise observability suite.
Incident management, logging, on-call scheduling... all bundled in when you just want to know if your site is up.
Too many config options, dashboards, and integrations to wade through for a simple monitoring tool.
