“Pingdom (pricing opacity, dated UI, and lower ratings)”DeepSeek V4 Flash · Negative question · warning
“some reviews note it's pricey for basics, with occasional alert fatigue or integration glitches... lingering caution around security and bloat”Grok 4.20 · Negative question · warning
“Good for mid-market but pricier (no free plan; tiers start higher, often 3x UptimeRobot for similar monitor counts) and can feel dated in UI.”Grok 4.20 · Direct question · warning

How it is countedHide how it is counted
Every page pingdom.com exposes, subdomains included. Kind is read from the address and title. The last 90 days, the latest date and the twelve months count pages by when they were published, from the site's feeds, a date in the address, or the page's own publication date, read from up to a hundred of its most recently changed pages; a page that says only when it last changed is counted in its kind but not in when, so the recent counts are a floor, and a kind none of whose pages gives a publication date reads undated. An event counts as online when its address or title says so (webinar, on demand, virtual or online summit); a conference, summit, trade show, expo or roadshow that does not say so is counted as a conference or event, which on a vendor's site is mostly in person.
