Bottom line
Pingdom is a well-established tool with strong multi-location monitoring and detailed performance reports. But at $40–80/mo for a meaningful plan — with the status page as an add-on — it's simply not priced for indie SaaS founders. StillUp gives you 95% of what most founders actually use for $9/mo.
