Uptime monitoring that shows what broke

Every 30 seconds on the Team and Business plans and every 60 seconds on Starter. You can also choose longer intervals of 2, 3, 5, 10, 15 or 30 minutes, or 1 hour, per monitor. A failed check is repeated a few seconds later before the monitor is marked down.

The checker repeats the check a few seconds later from the same region. If it fails again, Spectate marks the monitor down, records the response and a screenshot, and starts the escalation path: it notifies channels such as email, Slack or SMS, pages whoever is on call and can open an incident. When the site recovers, the alert resolves itself.

Spectate has checkers in four regions: Europe (Amsterdam), North America (New York), Asia (Singapore) and Oceania (Sydney). Each monitor is checked from one region that you choose, so pick the region closest to your users or your servers. You can change the region at any time in the monitor's settings.

Yes. HTTP(S) monitors can send GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE or HEAD requests with custom headers and basic, bearer or digest authentication. They check the status code, can require or forbid a keyword in the response, and measure each phase of the request, so they work for JSON health endpoints as well as web pages.

Yes, on every plan. When an HTTP(S) monitor goes down and the server still sends a response, the checker opens the page in a headless browser from the same region and stores a screenshot next to the response body and headers. Screenshots are kept for 90 days and shown on the alert page.

No. Spectate has no free plan, but every new team gets a 14-day trial of the Team plan without payment details. After that, Starter costs €0.75 per monitor a month with a minimum of 20 monitors, Team €0.60 with a minimum of 80, and Business €0.50 with a minimum of 250. Prices exclude VAT.
