Introducing Spectate's new (more affordable) pricing
At Spectate, we're committed to helping you improve the reliability of your websites and applications. We believe that reliability shouldn't come at a high cost, which is why we're excited to announce that today we announce a major update to our pricing plans making them more affordable and accessible for businesses of all sizes to improve their reliability and efficiency in incident management.
Why the change?
The honest answer: Pricing is hard.
We have received a lot of feedback since we launched with our original pricing, mostly about the steep upgrade from the (now old) Solo to the Pro plan. This made us realise after all this time that we have to change things around to accelerate our growth.
After all this time, we have a clearer picture of what our costs are in practice, and how to scale healthily (we are still a bootstrapped business after all.). Because of this, we have revisited our pricing strategy and have come up with new plans.
Our new plans
we've introduced four new plans to satisfy different business needs and sizes. Here's a brief overview of each plan:
Solo (starting at $12/month)
- Perfect for small teams or solo developers
- 1 user, 15 monitors/servers, 1-minute checks
- Unlimited domains, 1 public status page, and status page customization
Pro (starting at $24/month)
- 5 users, 50 monitors/servers, 30-second checks
- Unlimited domains, 2 public status pages, status page customization, and 25 Voice/SMS credits included
- AI-features for more efficient incident management and root cause analysis
Scale (starting at $72/month)
- Unlimited users, 100 monitors/servers, 30-second checks
- Unlimited domains, unlimited public status pages, and status page customization
- 100 Voice/SMS credits included, AI-features, and password-protected status pages
Business (starting at $169/month)
- Unlimited users, 250 monitors/servers, 30-second checks
- Unlimited domains, unlimited public status pages, and status page customization
- Unlimited Voice/SMS credits included, AI-features, and password-protected status pages
Simplified
Next to introducing cheaper pricing, we have also made some changes to certain limits. For example, monitors and servers (both a resource for website & infrastructure monitoring respectively) are now combined.
This makes each plan more flexible and fits more business this way. Maybe even yours!
What did not change?
Let's start off by saying we're still the same. We're still bootstrapped, have not been influenced by external investors (nor have received any) and always aim to provide the most reliable observability platform out there.
Legacy plans
Current customers who are on a legacy plan do not have to worry: your plan stays as-is until you decide to change plans yourself. Same price with the same features.
Also, we still have a free forever plan to get you started.
Rounding up
We have made lots of huge changes and improvements over the last couple of months and have a bright future ahead of us.
If you have any questions or feedback, do let us know! We do appreciate honest feedback a lot. It is what makes us better for all of you.
