I might use something like this, I have a few small sites. The cheapest pingdom plan is $15/mo which seems like too much for what I'd need.

I figured out that all of them were charging ludicrous amounts of money to do a simple task like alerts via SMS or email. While they do offer much more features - I realized, after having built a couple of websites that I don't really need fancy features. I also did a SWOT analysis of the idea and where my app would lie in the spectrum, and the amount I could charge to a customer.
