About
Pinglight is a lightweight monitoring tool designed specifically for solo founders and small SaaS teams. It offers an uncomplicated solution to track the uptime of applications and critical background jobs such as cron tasks and nightly backups. The tool eliminates the need for a complex observability stack by providing straightforward uptime checks for main app and API endpoints, and heartbeat URLs for job monitoring. It also features a clean, easily shareable status page to transparently communicate with customers about service health. Pinglight is ideal for early-stage SaaS businesses that need reliable monitoring without the complexity of larger tools. Setup is quick, with two types of monitors and default configurations, making it accessible even without DevOps expertise. The service offers a free tier for up to three monitors and a paid plan for more advanced features like custom domain status pages and increased monitoring capacity.
