What Moonitor is
Moonitor is a paid monitoring service for websites, APIs, servers, and cron jobs. It checks for failures across eight monitor types: Website/API, Keyword, Ping, TCP Port, Cron/Heartbeat, DNS, SSL certificate, and domain expiry. For eligible network monitors, a suspected failure is checked from other countries before an incident opens. Alerts can be sent by email, webhooks, Slack, Discord, or Telegram. Users can publish branded public status pages with uptime history and incident timelines. Monitor data and history can be exported and accessed through the public API, while the REST API manages monitors, incidents, status pages, and maintenance windows with organization-scoped keys. Plans bill monthly: Solo is $14 a month for 20 monitors and one user; Team is 26.00 USD for 100 monitors and unlimited users; Max is 49.00 USD for unlimited monitors and unlimited users. A 7-day trial is available, but there is no free plan. Webhook deliveries use HMAC-SHA256 signatures, and support is provided by the founders via [email protected].

Verdict
Moonitor combines broad monitor coverage, multi-channel alerts, status pages, and API controls in three monthly plans. The absence of a free plan and the monitor limits on lower tiers should guide plan selection.
