Uptime monitoring for agencies, without Datadog, without a ping toy

The problem

You only find out a site is down when a client or user messages you. Cheap ping tools don’t sit next to SSL, cron, or webhook health. Datadog is overkill for a freelancer’s roster.

How it works

1. Add a project, then attach an uptime URL.
2. OpsRunr runs scheduled HTTP checks and records latency and status.
3. Alerts fire on DOWN or DEGRADED. Not on vanity noise.
4. Share a public status page when you want clients to see the same truth.

Who it is for

• ·Agencies watching client sites
• ·Indie founders watching their SaaS
• ·Freelancers who need a status page they can show a client

Compared with specialists

  Fine for a free ping. OpsRunr is the health desk when SSL, cron, and webhooks also matter.

• Better Stack

  Deeper incidents; OpsRunr is the mid-priced desk for builders and small agencies.

• Checkly

  Strong synthetic checks; OpsRunr is project-centric health (uptime + expiry + silence + webhooks) without Checkly’s platform weight.
