This market is crowded like hell. Check the two posts I'm linking below. https://www.supermonitoring.com/blog/the-updated-list-of-website-monitoring-services/

  So here's a question, These services obviously didn't all appear at the exact same time. So ... at some point there were 20 of them around, then a bunch of people launched new ones so now there were 30. This trend continued. At some point there were 90 of them around, people built more, now there are 100+. See where I'm going? Just something interesting to think about. Your service could also be among the "100 solutions already exist" group. When there were only 99, someone still built the 100th one. I feel like in 2018 the internet is so saturated you almost have to ignore the fact that other solutions exist.

    I think there numbers are large because of two things: 1. People are not aware that there are so many services already. It's not enough to google for "website monitoring" to get the entire picture. 2. Entrepreneurs think that such service is a piece of cake to implement and to maintain. But the first 50 customers verify that wrong assumption. Plus, with that numerous competition, led by a few giants (like Pingdom with 700,000+ customers), it's very hard to get noticed.
