How many websites can I monitor with Pingbreak and how often are they checked?
Updated
Pingbreak beta testers can monitor an unlimited number of URLs, and each website is checked once per minute. That combination — no cap on sites, one-minute interval — is the core of what Pingbreak offers, and it applies to anyone who joins the open beta.
Monitoring limits and check frequency
| What you get | Detail |
|---|---|
| Number of websites | Unlimited URLs |
| Check interval | Every 1 minute |
| Who it applies to | Beta testers |
| Alerts | Twitter DM, plus optional Slack, Discord, Mattermost, email, or Webhook |
The site states that beta testers "can monitor an unlimited amount of URLs, checked every minute." It also notes that its robots are "watching thousands websites per minute," which is a description of overall platform activity rather than a per-account limit.
What this means in practice
A one-minute interval is a high-frequency check compared with services that poll every 5 or 15 minutes. If a site goes down, the gap between the failure and your alert is measured in roughly a minute, not a quarter hour.
Unlimited URLs matters most if you run many small sites, side projects, or client properties and don't want to pick and choose which ones get monitored. You can add everything and still get the same one-minute cadence on each.
How to get these limits
- Join the open beta. The site notes a Twitter account is required, and you can sign in with Twitter or create a free account with a password.
- Add your website URLs to your monitoring list.
- Configure notifications. Twitter DM is the default real-time channel; you can also add Slack, Discord, Mattermost, email, or a Webhook.
- Expect a check every minute per URL, with an alert sent when a failure is detected.
Points to keep in mind
- The unlimited-URLs, one-minute-interval terms are described specifically for beta testers, so they're tied to beta participation rather than a general published plan.
- Twitter permissions are required because the service sends alerts via Direct Message.
- The site says it is free and will stay free, and that current features will never require payment to keep using. It doesn't publish a pricing page — the site explicitly says not to look for prices because it's totally free.
If your need is frequent checks across a large or growing list of sites, Pingbreak's beta terms cover both dimensions directly: unlimited URLs at a one-minute interval.
