🚨 nightly-backup missed its check-in and is now DOWN
Cron jobs fail silently
A job that used to run every night just... stops. No error, no log, no alert. You find out three days later when someone asks why the backup is missing.
You don't want to run monitoring infra
Self-hosting Uptime Kuma or wiring up CloudWatch alarms for a side project is its own maintenance burden. You want the alert, not another service to babysit.
SSL certs expire quietly
Auto-renewal fails, nobody notices, and the first sign is a customer screenshotting a browser warning at 2am your time.
Three steps, five minutes
Add a monitor
Incoming heartbeat for a cron/background job, or an outgoing check for a URL you want polled.
Drop in one line
For heartbeats: curl the ping URL at the end of your script. For HTTP checks: nothing to install at all.
Get paged, not surprised
Miss a check-in, fail a status code, or an SSL cert nearing expiry — Slack, Discord, or your own webhook fires instantly.

Questions
How is this different from a status page tool?
Status pages tell your users something's down after the fact. Pingtastic is the thing that finds out first — heartbeats for jobs that should run on a schedule, and active checks for sites that should just always respond.
Do I need to install anything?
No agent, no daemon. Incoming monitors just need one curl/wget call at the end of your script. Outgoing monitors need nothing at all — we poll the URL you give us.
What happens if I outgrow the Solo plan?
Upgrade to Dev Pro for more monitors and faster outgoing check intervals, any time, with prorated billing — no downtime, no migration.
Can I use this for a client project without the agency features?
Yes — Solo and Dev Pro are single-workspace plans with no client portals or branding. If you later need to resell monitoring to clients under your own brand, you can upgrade to an Agency plan.
