Pingdom vs Pingometer: What are the differences?
Pingdom: Uptime and performance monitoring made easy. Pingdom is an uptime monitoring service. When problems happen with a site that Pingdom monitors, it immediately alerts the owner so the problem can be taken care of; Pingometer: Uptime monitoring with unlimited checks, multiple locations, and smart alerts. When it comes to downtime, seconds count. We monitor your site around-the-clock to make sure it never skips a beat. We offer HTTP, HTTPS, RUM, DNS, ICMP, IMAP, POP3, SMTP, TCP, UDP, and Transaction monitors.
Pingdom and Pingometer can be categorized as "Website Monitoring" tools.
Some of the features offered by Pingdom are:
- Uptime & Response time reports
- Multi-step transaction monitoring
- Email, text & twitter alerts
On the other hand, Pingometer provides the following key features:
- 24/7 Coverage
- Intelligent Monitors (HTTP/S,RUM, DNS, ICMP (Ping), IMAP, POP3, SMTP, TCP, UDP, and Transaction

We needed a monitoring tool to track application uptime, response time and provide a public status page.
After looking at several options including the big ones like Pingdom and Pingometer, we went with updown.io. Their pricing model allowed us to pay for exactly what we needed (number of endpoints and frequency) without selling us anything we weren't going to use.
Their interface is easy to use, service has been rock solid and their public status pages look great.
