I built a cheap uptime monitor for indie projects — what would actually make you switch off your current stack?

Hey r/Observability,

Solo dev here. I've been running a few side projects and got tired of paying for uptime monitoring, so I built my own: Pingory.

It's intentionally boring — HTTP/ping/TCP/SSL/DNS/keyword/API checks, alerting to email/Slack/Telegram/Discord/webhook/PagerDuty, status pages with incident timelines. $4/month for 100 monitors with 1-min checks, $6 for unlimited with 30-sec checks. Self-hostable too.

I know this space is crowded — someone told me on r/SideProject that ~20 similar tools launched this year alone. So I'm not here to claim it's revolutionary. I'm here to ask a real question:

If you already have monitoring you're reasonably happy with, what would it take for you to switch? Price alone? Or is there something specific — status page, alert noise, multi-region checks, pricing model — that would actually move you?

Honest answers welcome. I'd rather know now than after building more.

(Disclosure: I'm a non-native English speaker and used AI to help polish the wording of this post. The project itself I built and shipped solo.)

If anyone wants the self-host link, I'll drop it in the comments.
