Why pay $15/mo for 10 monitors when you can get unlimited for $10? Ditch the SolarWinds enterprise bloat and get clean, fast, edge-powered monitoring.
$15/mo for just 10 monitors. Need 50? That jumps to $41/mo. Enterprise pricing for indie-scale needs.
SolarWinds ownership means corporate feature creep. What was once a simple tool now feels like navigating an ERP system.
They killed the free plan years ago. You cannot even test the product without pulling out your credit card first.
