Every plan is the whole product. Paid tiers differ by operational scale —
monitors, people you can page, history kept — never by which features you
deserve. Prices are flat, never change without 30 days' notice, and annual
billing is two months free.

free, no card, no clock
Serious monitoring for one person's projects.
10 monitors, every 60s
Email alerts; a failed availability check is re-probed before paging
Every paid trial is 10 days — cancel before day 10 and pay nothing.
Prices include VAT where it applies, and businesses with an EU VAT ID are reverse-charged.
Enterprise is a conversation, not a card.
Custom limits, invoice billing, a security review, migration help.
We'd rather shape it around your fleet than print a number here.
The numbers below render from the same table the product enforces — the
page can't promise what a gate won't honor.

Free means free — no card, no clock, no "your trial has ended" email.
Every plan speaks the same API, MCP and Terraform surface. Cert-expiry and
subdomain-takeover safety checks run for everyone; charging for the thing
that stops an account being stolen is the practice this product exists to
be the alternative to.
The parts others sell separately.
Part of the plans above from the tier each names, never sold beside them.
On-call included
From Solo: schedules, rotations that email whoever is on call, plus
ladders whose chat-channel pages repeat, up to 20 rounds, until someone acknowledges. From Team, teammates are
unlimited — there is no per-seat price.
Deep checks
Every plan watches certificate expiry and subdomain takeover.
From Solo: CT logs, DNS depth with RDAP and domain
expiry, SPF, DKIM and DMARC, the crawler, and a relay for private networks.
Live browser execution is temporarily unavailable — no run is queued.
Built for AI agents
On every plan: an MCP server, /llms.txt, OpenAPI 3.1, the qb CLI, and a
Terraform provider — your agent can create monitors and run the account.
Four bills for one incident
What this replaces
One thing goes down. Something has to notice, something has to tell your
customers, something has to wake a human, and something has to run the hour
that follows. That is one workflow — and four invoices, two of which get
bigger every time you hire.

you stop paying — and one bill instead of four.
Team pages 5 people. Take the rota past that and you are comparing against a plan we have not shipped yet — we would rather say so than let the comparison flatter us.
Where we could have made our number look better and didn't:
— incident.io sells on-call at +$10/user/mo on top of the line above. Not added — PagerDuty is already doing that job here.
— PagerDuty Business is $41/user/mo. We quote Professional at $21.
— Atlassian Statuspage Startup is $99/mo, Business $399. We quote Hobby at $29.
— Better Stack meters monitors past 10 at $21/mo per 50, and extra status pages at $12/mo. Not added.
— Every line is the annual rate where annual is cheaper than monthly.
Example pricing from each vendor's own public plans, as of 2026-08-22.
We quote the cheapest plan on each line that
honestly does the job, at the annual rate where annual is cheaper — a
comparison built on somebody's enterprise tier is a comparison nobody
should believe. These four vendors are all good at their piece; the claim
here is about the number of invoices, not the quality of the software.

The honest FAQ.
Do you charge per teammate?
No. Invite as many teammates as you like from the Team plan up — the price
does not move when you hire. Nothing is billed per message either: email, Telegram, Slack, Discord,
Microsoft Teams and webhooks are included, with a hand-off to PagerDuty.
What makes an alert "verified"?
A failed check is re-probed before anything pages — from a second
region when the fleet has one online, and otherwise a fresh probe
from the same vantage moments later. Verification is a guard
against false alarms, not a gate on real ones: if the confirming
vantage stays unreachable while the failures continue, the incident
opens on the accumulated local evidence rather than staying silent
through a real outage. Every incident records which vantages
actually observed the failure, so "confirmed globally" is only ever
claimed when more than one vantage agreed.
Where does Quietbeat run?
In Germany, in the EU, operated by an EU company. Optional Google
Analytics measures public-page visits
only after you accept it; status and account pages are excluded.
Is the free plan a trial?
No. 10 monitors with 60-second checks, email alerts, and full API and MCP
access, for as long as you want — no card required.
