Is losclouds really free?
Yes. Free forever covers live status across thousands of services, downtime alerts, custom uptime monitors, and the public API on the Free account limits.
When can I actually pay you?
We're not taking payments yet. The Plus, Pro, and Business tiers are listed for transparency so contributors can see the limit ladder. Sign in and we'll keep your tier upgrade-ready for when billing ships.
What counts as an 'alert subscription'?
One service, scope, or component you watch by email. The cap is account-scoped for signed-in users and per email address for anonymous visitors.
What is a custom monitor?
A custom monitor is a URL or HTTP endpoint you ask losclouds to probe on a schedule, with response-time history and email alerts when it goes down. Sign in to create them from your dashboard, up to your tier limit.
How is API quota counted?
API quota is account/tier-scoped. API keys are credentials; creating more keys does not create separate request buckets.
Will my Free account stop working if I do not upgrade?
No. Free forever is a real product, not a trial. We only gate creation past the account caps; existing alerts continue to run.
Can I see the underlying data?
Yes. The public API surfaces every public catalog signal we collect on tier-scaled account limits. API keys live in the authenticated dashboard.
