The 80/20 uptime monitor for teams who just want answers
PingPuffin is an uptime monitor that provides reliable uptime monitoring for website monitoring and API monitoring. Drop in a URL, pick a checking cadence, and we give you the essentials—no agent install, no labyrinth of alert policies. It's the friendly uptime monitoring sidekick for teams that never quite finish configuring the big enterprise tool. With uptime monitoring, you get instant downtime alerts when issues are detected.
We're proudly minimalist: roughly 80% of the uptime monitoring power you'd get elsewhere, delivered with about 20% of the setup. If the idea of an endless onboarding checklist makes you want to take another "coffee break," PingPuffin is your shortcut to reliable uptime monitoring with downtime alerts and status pages. As an uptime monitor, PingPuffin excels at website monitoring and API monitoring.
Simple incidents you can actually reuse
When downtime is real, PingPuffin's uptime monitor confirms it from multiple regions and auto-builds a tidy timeline. You can annotate it for your post-mortem, share it with leadership, or point a curious client straight to the facts. No more spelunking through chat logs at 2:00 a.m.
Downtime alerts arrive through the channels you already live in—email by default, Slack/Teams/SMS/webhooks when you're ready. Recovery notices close the loop automatically, so the team isn't left wondering if the sky is still falling. With uptime monitoring, you get instant downtime notifications when website monitoring or API monitoring detects issues.
Bring the whole crew without bringing the hassle
Invite developers, marketers, agencies, or that one client who always asks for proof. Unlimited teammates plus permission presets mean you can keep things organised without becoming the Uptime Police. Group monitors by brand or environment and let everyone see exactly what matters to them.
Maintenance windows mute alerts while you deploy (with a polite status page update, naturally), and quiet hours make sure weekends stay sacred. You’ll still get the data you need—just without the guilt-driven Slack apologies.
Free during launch, because reliability shouldn’t be gated
Every PingPuffin workspace includes unlimited monitors, unlimited history, and as many notification channels as your heart desires. During our launch period it’s all $0—pricing will arrive later, and we’ll give plenty of notice. If you ever need the final 20% of enterprise bells and whistles, we’ll help you switch. Until then, enjoy the calm.
FAQ
How fast can we get monitoring in place?
Usually under five minutes. Paste an address, choose a cadence, decide who gets nudged, and that’s it. No agent installs, no YAML therapy.
Will PingPuffin annoy us with false alarms?
We verify incidents from multiple regions and only escalate when the problem is real. You can also add retry buffers, quiet hours, and maintenance windows to keep alerts civilised.
What if we outgrow the minimalist approach?
Then we’ll toast to your success and help you upgrade. Until then, stay productive with the 80% of features you actually use and none of the “we’ll configure that later” debt.
