Pingometer vs updown.io: What are the differences?
Developers describe Pingometer as "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. On the other hand, updown.io is detailed as "HTTP monitoring solution with a clean UI and cheap and simple pricing". updown is an online service that checks your website's status by periodically sending an HTTP HEAD request to the URL of your choice. It then notifies you by email or sms when your website is not responding correctly.
Pingometer and updown.io belong to "Website Monitoring" category of the tech stack.
Some of the features offered by Pingometer are:
- 24/7 Coverage
- Intelligent Monitors (HTTP/S,RUM, DNS, ICMP (Ping), IMAP, POP3, SMTP, TCP, UDP, and Transaction
- 12+ Locations
On the other hand, updown.io provides the following key features:
- One-click sign in
- Fast checks
- Email/SMS alerts
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.
