Website Monitoring for SaaS Founders

Yes. You get the whole monitoring stack in one place: uptime and performance checks with no agent to install, cron and scheduled-task monitoring, application health checks for the queues and workers your product depends on, SSL and domain-expiry alerts, and a hosted status page. It is flat, founder-friendly pricing instead of enterprise tiers, so you get the coverage a paying-customer product needs without stitching together five free tools.

A free checker pings your homepage and stops there. Oh Dear verifies a failure from a second location before it pages you, checks the response content so a broken signup or billing call is caught (a 200 status is not the same as working), monitors the cron jobs your product runs on, and gives customers a status page during an incident. It is the difference between knowing your marketing site loads and knowing the product works. See how we compare to UptimeRobot.

The moment you have users who would notice an outage, yes. Silent failures, an expired certificate, a stuck queue, a checkout that 500s, cost you the exact early users and trust you can least afford to lose, and you usually hear about it from an angry tweet. Our trial is free with no credit card, so you can have real coverage in place before the first incident, not after it.

We check every minute from multiple global locations. The moment downtime is detected, you get an alert via Slack, email, SMS, or your preferred channel. Most alerts arrive within 60-90 seconds of an outage starting, so you know before customers start tweeting about it.

Yes. SaaS apps run on background jobs: email queues, subscription billing, data syncs, report generation. We monitor scheduled tasks and alert you when they fail or take too long. No more debugging why that email didn't go out or why subscriptions weren't renewed.

A status page shows customers you take reliability seriously. When issues happen, it gives them a place to check without flooding your support inbox. Our status pages run on separate infrastructure, so they stay up even when your app doesn't. One less thing to worry about during incidents.

Absolutely. A 200 status doesn't mean your API is working correctly. Our dedicated API & endpoint monitoring validates response content and checks that endpoints return expected data. When your auth endpoint returns an empty response or your checkout API fails silently, you'll know immediately.

Yes. We built Oh Dear to be accessible for solo founders and small teams. You get enterprise-grade monitoring without enterprise complexity or pricing. Start with our smallest plan and scale as your SaaS grows. No long-term contracts, no hidden fees.
