Paid plans start at €14.33/mo.
Pingdom lists two entry plans at €14.33 per month each when billed annually: Synthetic Monitoring and Real User Monitoring. The pricing page offers monthly and annual billing, but publishes no monthly rate. The plans are separate, with different allowances: 10 uptime checks and 50 SMS alerts on Synthetic, or 100,000 pageviews on Real User Monitoring. Enterprise pricing is custom. No free plan is listed, and a free-trial offer is not published.

04Is Pingdom worth the money?
Pingdom can be worth the entry price when you need one monitoring type and fit its stated allowance: €14.33/month billed annually is clear for either entry plan. The catch is that synthetic and real-user monitoring are sold as separate plans, monthly rates are undisclosed, and Enterprise needs a quote. We can't call it cheaper than the category from this pricing data; overage terms and competitor prices aren't provided.
