Everything Pingdom Does,
at 1/3 the Price
Pingdom charges $95/mo for 100 monitors. GoPinger gives you the same — plus API monitoring, WordPress security checks, and incident management — for $25/mo. With a free plan Pingdom doesn't offer.
Why Teams Leave Pingdom
Pingdom was a pioneer — but the product hasn't kept up with the market.
Expensive at Scale
Pingdom's pricing escalates quickly. 100 monitors costs $95/mo. 1000 monitors is $830/mo. There's no free plan to even try the product.
Dated Interface
Pingdom's UI hasn't had a major refresh in years. Slow page loads, cluttered dashboards, and a workflow that feels like 2015.
GoPinger: Modern & Affordable
100 monitors for $25/mo with 30-second checks. A modern interface built with Angular, real-time updates, and a developer-first experience.
More Features, Less Cost
API monitoring, WordPress security, email schedule monitoring, on-call scheduling, and SLO tracking — features Pingdom charges extra for or doesn't offer at all.
