Simple pricing

Start free. Upgrade to Pro when you need more journeys, faster checks and a second region confirming before you’re paged. Flat monthly pricing, never per seat.

The price on this page is the price on your invoice. No per-host meters, no metered browser runs, no usage tier that spikes the month something goes wrong. Detection, alerting and incidents are one product here, not three.

Questions, answered

The things people ask before signing up.

What is journey monitoring?

A journey is a short script — click Sign in, fill Email, click Checkout, expect Order summary — that PylonMon runs in a real browser from outside your network every few minutes. If a step fails you are paged with the step, the error and a screenshot. It catches the failures an uptime check cannot see: a login that errors, a checkout button that does nothing, a signup form that stopped submitting.

Is there a free plan?

Yes — Free is free forever: one customer journey, 20 monitors, 1-minute checks, heartbeat, HTTP/S, TCP and ping monitors and one alert channel. No credit card required.

What is heartbeat (dead-man's-switch) monitoring?

Your cron jobs, backups, and scripts send a quick HTTP ping to a unique URL when they finish. If PylonMon doesn't hear from a job inside its expected window, it pages you — the silence is the signal, so you catch jobs that die quietly.

Do I need to install an agent?

No. PylonMon watches from off-site: journeys run in our browsers, heartbeats are a single curl line, and HTTP, TCP and ping checks run from our side. The open-source pylon-beacon agent is optional, for CPU, memory, disk and logs from inside a machine.

How is PylonMon different from UptimeRobot or Healthchecks.io?

It does both at once — outbound uptime checks and inbound heartbeat/cron monitoring — plus escalation ladders on every plan, multi-region outage confirmation on every paid plan, on-call rotations on Team, Prometheus and Alertmanager support, and alerts to email, Discord, Slack, SMS, WhatsApp and voice.

What alert channels are supported?

Email, Discord, Slack, Teams, Webex, Telegram, ntfy.sh, web push, SMS, WhatsApp, voice calls, Zapier and any webhook — with escalation on every plan and one alert per state change, no 2am nag loops.

Can it monitor cron jobs and backups?

Yes — heartbeat monitors are built for exactly that. Add one curl line to the end of your job; miss the schedule and you're alerted with how long it's been silent.
