Is It Down watches your sites and APIs and alerts you the moment something breaks — without the noise, complexity, or enterprise price tag of tools built for teams ten times your size.
Is It Down is a simple solution created by an SRE at a top 10 tech company — built out of genuine frustration with noisy, bloated monitoring tools, for the solo devs and small teams who just want to know when something's actually wrong.
Paste in the site or API you want watched. Takes about ten seconds.
Pinged roughly every 2 minutes, day and night, no setup required.
Email (and webhook, if you want it) the moment status changes — down, or back up.
Status badge, 24h uptime %, and last-checked time for every monitor, at a glance.
One flat price. No tiers, no surprises, no per-host math.
