GoPinger
GoPinger monitors websites, APIs, and SSL certificates and notifies users when monitored endpoints have issues.
What GoPinger is
GoPinger monitors websites, APIs, and SSL certificates and notifies users when monitored endpoints have issues. This hosted service runs scheduled HTTP, API, and browser checks from external locations, without requiring agents, browser extensions, or code changes. API monitoring includes a request builder with authentication helpers, custom headers, body types, and response validation. Alerts can use verified email, Slack Incoming Webhooks, or generic HTTPS JSON webhooks; Microsoft Teams and Freshdesk channels are available on Starter and above. Each plan, including Free, has status pages with email subscriptions for incidents, updates, and scheduled maintenance. GoPinger also provides incident lifecycles; on-call schedules and escalation are available on Pro. The Free plan costs $0/month and includes five monitors, five-minute checks, 30-day data retention, one team member, one status page, and SSL monitoring. The service is synthetic monitoring, not real-user monitoring. Pro has a 99.9% monthly uptime SLA target and Enterprise 99.95%; Free has no SLA or uptime guarantee.
