About Probecast
Intelligent API monitoring for companies that value reliability and transparency with their customers.
Our Story
Probecast was born from a real need: helping companies keep their services online and ensuring their customers are always informed about the status of the APIs they depend on.
We observed that many companies struggled with two main challenges: quickly detecting when their API integrations failed and transparently communicating issues to their customers. Existing tools were too complex, expensive, or focused only on internal monitoring.
We created Probecast to solve this: a simple, accessible, and powerful platform that monitors APIs 24/7 from multiple global regions, alerts immediately when issues are detected, and offers public status pages for complete transparency with customers.
Our Mission
"Empower companies of all sizes to build and maintain reliable services, with complete visibility over their API dependencies and total transparency with their customers."
What We Do
Global Monitoring
We check your APIs every 5 minutes from 3 continents (Americas, Europe, Asia), measuring latency, availability, and performance.
Instant Alerts
Real-time notifications via Email, SMS, Slack, Teams, or custom webhooks when issues are detected.
Detailed Analysis
Complete incident reports with timeline, technical diagnosis, impact, and action recommendations.
Public Status Pages
Customizable public status pages to show transparency to your customers about the health of your services.
Why We Exist
Reliability is Essential
In the modern world, applications depend on dozens of third-party APIs. A single API going down can bring down your entire service. You need to know immediately when this happens.
Transparency Builds Trust
Customers appreciate transparency. When you proactively show the status of your services through a public page, you demonstrate professionalism and confidence.
Simplicity Matters
Complex tools require too much time to set up and maintain. We believe API monitoring should be simple: add URLs, configure alerts, and you're done. We take care of the rest.
Accessibility for Everyone
Startups and indies deserve the same tools that large companies use. That's why we offer a generous free plan and fair pricing for paid plans.
