Thanks for the reply. I just wondering why uptime monitoring Saas services have a pricing model about the count of monitors (25, 50, etc). I got that they trying to separate hobby users from companies but for me sounds more reasonable to have tiers about a count of servers, IPs, projects (limited by some resources cap) or tiers about additional features like grpc, graphql support, alerts filtering, etc. Also, if you have a serious project usually it makes sense to set up rich monitoring tools so maybe users of such services have specific cases. Probably they have something like a lot of simple sites, or need a cover of API endpoints by monitors but don't wanna use complex tools.

It's simple. The number of checks converts to consumption of application resources. The lowest subscription plan includes a low number of checks and simple features (like only uptime monitoring). The higher plans offer more checks and more advanced features that need even more resources (like page speed monitoring or transaction monitoring). That way, if you need only simple monitoring for your small website you don't have to pay too much. And if you're a web agency or a large e-commerce store, you still can find a plan that suits you.
