Spectate is a monitoring and incident management platform for websites, APIs, servers, infrastructure, and applications. Website checks track uptime and performance, can run globally, capture screenshots, and alert on SSL certificate expiry. Its custom-built server agent is described as open source, dependency-free, and designed to add no server load. Incident tools include merging, collaboration, AI-assisted root cause analysis, postmortems, interactive alerts, and status page publishing. Status pages can use branding and custom domains, accept user issue reports, and support subscriptions and postmortems. Alerts can be sent through Slack, Discord, or Pushover, as well as by voice or SMS. The free Hobby tier allows five monitors or servers and one status page. Paid plans start at $12.00 per month for Solo, billed $144 billed yearly; higher listed tiers cost $24.00, $72.00, and $169.00 per month. Enterprise is custom-priced. On-call scheduling and incident escalation policies are marked as coming soon.
