Synthetics Pricing that Won’t Break the Bank.
Based on the amount of monitor’s you get with each plan, Sematext’s cost-per-monitor ends up being significantly cheaper. Even at scale, you’re getting a lot more value for your money. On top of that, with Sematext, there’s no annual contract. Cheaper Synthetics, more features, and zero commitments.
Robust and Insightful Real User Monitoring
Pingdom might offer a seemingly great deal with their RUM plans, but if you take a look closer, it is extremely limited. For 100,000 pageviews, you're looking at only $10 per month, but it doesn't come with any notable features.
Sematext offers a full catalog of helpful and useful features that will make your RUM experience a breeze. Get valuable alerts when something goes wrong, see all the details on each user session, save filtered views, and a lot more.
Logging, Synthetics, and Real-User Monitoring
Pingdom only offers real user monitoring and synthetic monitoring. This might be useful for some, but for those who want full visibility, you'll have to invest in another one of SolarWinds expensive tools.
