WatchDog's Free plan keeps a single URL or hostname alive with email alerts and a private status page. Upgrade to Pro for unlimited monitors, Slack + webhook channels, tags, public status pages, test-alert channels, and scheduled maintenance windows. Cancel any time — no contract.
Email, Slack, and webhooks routed to the inbox or workspace that already owns the on-call. No PagerDuty, no escalation chain — just the alert that lets you fix it before someone @s you about it.
Share a /status/<slug> URL from your docs or site footer. Embed a live SVG uptime badge. Replace "is it down?" support tickets with a real-time page your users actually trust.
Hit "Test" on any channel and WatchDog sends a sample alert end-to-end. Confirm Slack formatting, webhook payloads, and email deliverability before a real incident — not during one.
Label monitors by client, environment, region, or owner. Filter the dashboard to a single tag with one click — slice your monitor list the same way you slice your alerts.
Pre-announce deploys, freezes, and migrations. Alerts pause inside the window and your status page shows "scheduled maintenance" instead of an incident at 2am.
A real reply within a business day from the team that built WatchDog. Skip the community queue when your monitoring is the thing that's broken.
For hobby projects and solo builders.
For teams shipping customer-facing services.
WatchDog's free plan solves one URL with email alerts. Pro is everything else — Slack and webhook channels, tags, public status pages, scheduled maintenance windows, test-alert channels, and a team that replies within a business day.
No credit card. First alert in 60 seconds.
