For me, you need to be able to provide more sophisticated services. Just because you can ping a server is not a valid reason to think you can charge money for it. These are the additional services I need to see included in order to pay $10 /month:
1. Time the download of resources on each page, similar to what you get from HTTPWatch. Report on which ones are blocking and which ones are giving 404s
2. Provide a way to script the call, with user name and password, and the ability to store cookies and follow the redirect URL, up to N(5?) levels. This makes sure that not only the home page is up but a (test) transaction can also complete as expected.
3. This is more optional, but provide a sample page that users can host on their end or an API they can leverage to restart app or take similar actions, so that if the monitoring finds a problem, the answer is not calling the admin's phone.

You mean long download times, or literally blocking the browser, script-wise? #2 Any transactional test would obviously maintain cookies across each step. I would definitely want to bring transactional tests into the picture. V1 might be a URL sequence. V2 could be actual browser simulation. #3 That's be easy, for sure.
