Why Agencies Switch from Pingdom

Simple Pricing

Pingdom charges based on how many "checks" you need. If you land 5 new clients, your bill goes up. Calculating costs becomes a monthly headache.

With isMyWebOk: One price. Unlimited Clients. Growth is free.

Lighthouse First

Pingdom is great for "Is it up?". But clients ask "Is it fast?" (Core Web Vitals). Pingdom's speed tools are secondary and often distinct from Google's metrics.

With isMyWebOk: We put Core Web Vitals front and center, because that's what affects SEO and user experience today.

Client-Ready Reports

Pingdom dashboards are technical. They show latency graphs and network errors. Great for SysAdmins, confusing for a restaurant owner.

With isMyWebOk: We summarize the data into clear, business-friendly reports that validate your maintenance work.

From DevOps to Growth

DigitalGrowth Agency used Pingdom for years. "We were paying $250/mo just for uptime checks. Nobody looked at the dashboards except when the server crashed."

The Change:

Switched to isMyWebOk Agency Plan (€69/mo).
Started sending Weekly Health Reports to clients automatically.
Result: Reduced costs by 70% and increased client retention by visible value reporting.
