Modern uptime + incidents + on-call platform with clean UX — popular with developer teams.

What it does well

Integrates uptime monitoring, on-call scheduling, and status pages in one product.
Free tier includes 10 monitors with 3-minute checks and basic status pages.
User interface is clean and focused on developer workflows and incident response.

Where it falls short

Check frequency is limited to 3 minutes on the free plan; 30-second checks require payment.
Fewer global monitoring locations compared to some larger, more established competitors.
Lacks the deep application performance monitoring (APM) features of more specialized tools.
