Core Capabilities

Simple tools. Real monitoring.

Checks every 30 seconds

Set a monitor and PingVault pings your URL on a schedule, every 30s on Team, every minute on Pro, every 5 minutes on Hobby. You pick.

Alerts on Slack, Discord, or email

When a check fails, you get notified immediately, Slack, Discord, or email. Whichever channel you actually read. And again when it recovers.

Public status pages

Give your users a place to check — a clean, hosted status page showing uptime history and live incident status. Each page gets a unique public URL.

What is PingVault?

Stop finding out about downtime from your users.

PingVault is an uptime monitoring tool that checks your websites, APIs, and backend services automatically, every 30 seconds to 5 minutes, depending on your plan. The moment something stops responding, you get an alert.

No complicated setup. No enterprise contracts. Just add a URL, pick your alert channel, and you're covered. Built for indie hackers, startups, and small SaaS teams who want real monitoring without paying for features they'll never use.

FAQ

Common questions about PingVault

Is PingVault actually free?
Yes, the Hobby plan is free forever with 50 monitors, 1 status page, and 5-minute check intervals. No credit card required. Paid plans (Pro at $7/mo, Team at $19/mo) unlock faster checks, more status pages, Slack and Discord alerts, and more monitors.
What is uptime monitoring and why do I need it?
Uptime monitoring means a tool automatically checks whether your website or API is online and working, so you find out about problems before your users do. Without it, you typically learn about downtime from a frustrated user, tweet, or support ticket. PingVault checks your endpoints on a schedule and alerts you the moment something breaks.
How fast will I know when my site goes down?
On the Team plan, checks run every 30 seconds. On Pro, every 60 seconds. On Hobby, every 5 minutes. As soon as a check fails, PingVault sends an alert, so your worst case response time is equal to your check interval.
Does PingVault monitor SSL certificates?
Yes. PingVault tracks SSL certificate expiry for your monitored endpoints and alerts you before they expire, so you never wake up to a browser warning page. SSL monitoring is included on all plans.
Can PingVault send Slack or Discord alerts?
Yes. Connect your Slack workspace or Discord server via webhook and PingVault will post a message the moment a monitor goes down, and again when it recovers. Slack and Discord alerts are available on the Pro plan and above.
What's the difference between website monitoring and API monitoring?
Website monitoring checks that a URL returns a successful HTTP response. API monitoring goes a step further, you can specify the HTTP method (GET, POST), custom headers, and the expected status code. PingVault supports both, so you can monitor a homepage and a specific API endpoint from the same dashboard.
Can I create a public status page?
Yes. All plans include at least one status page. Hobby gives you 1, Pro gives you 3, and Team gives you unlimited. Status pages show real-time uptime history and current incident status, each accessible via a unique public URL.
Is this better than just using UptimeRobot?
A few ways PingVault is ahead: 30-second checks at $19/mo vs UptimeRobot's $54+/mo for the same. Port, ping, and DNS monitoring on all plans including free (UptimeRobot locks those behind Solo+). Discord alerts on Pro+ (UptimeRobot doesn't support Discord at all). And unlimited monitors at $19 vs UptimeRobot's 100 at $29-34.
Can I monitor multiple websites?
Yes. Hobby gives you 50 monitors (free), Pro gives you 50 with faster checks and alerts, and Team gives you unlimited. Each monitor can be a website, API endpoint, TCP port, ping target, or DNS domain.
How do I monitor an API endpoint?
Add a new monitor, paste your API URL, choose the HTTP method (GET, HEAD, or POST), and set the expected status code. PingVault will alert you if the API returns an unexpected response or fails to respond within the timeout window.
