I've been using Pingdom's free plan to monitor one site for many, many years. I'm guessing that SolarWinds has had this in the plan for a while, as the free tier likely has very few conversions since going from free to paid is a bit of a jump to ~$10/month ($120/year). For someone who just wants to know if a site is up or down, and has a dozen cheap or free services to choose from (I also sometimes use UptimeRobot), it's not a market Pingdom really caters to anymore. Anyways, this is also the reason I built Server Check.in[1] a few years back[2]; mostly for my use, and it's been a fun ride! Building a distributed, microservice-ish thing over the course of 7 years has been interesting. Would love to answer questions about it if you have any.
