Unique service
Meets a need not met by other services. Operating a SOHO means not knowing if/when the uplink is unavailable when away. This service solves that problem.
CONSWish I'd learned about it sooner. Very handy to have something to monitor my Internet link from afar so I can know proactively if it fails when I'm away.

A simple enough open source health check monitoring service
It has been a reliable service since we started using the hosted version. We really needed a way to monitor how processes and tasks have been going and its configuration and integration is easy and straightforward. With this service, we have been able to solve issues in half the time we spent previously.
PROSHealthchecks.io is an easy to use health check monitoring service, based on HTTP pings. Creating a new check is easy with its integrated cron expression editor, as well as monitoring how checks are going. Pricing is easy and cheap and the amount of integrations it has is pretty useful. Also, the ability to self host is a big plus for environments with restricted access to the outside internet. Finally, documentation is well written and easy to understand, something a lot of open source software projects miss.
CONSThe software doesn't have much cons, however, just as HTTP pings are simple and straightforward, they can also be a bit tricky to use in situations where there is no internet connection and are a bit complicated to integrate when you want to send more than just an OK to the application. Self-hosting the application is also a little bit complicated, as we suffered sudden downtimes and unresponsiveness of the application.

Healthchecks.io does one thing and does it well
Healthchecks.io does one thing and does it well. What I like most about Healthchecks.io is that it doesn't bother me unless something is wrong. Aside from a monthly wrap-up email with a quick status, I only receive notifications when I want them; when something happens to my server farm.
CONSThe reporting capabilities of Healthchecks.io are very barebones. It is limited to text-only reporting of uptime and could potentially benefit from some graphical reports.

Great free tool for up to 20 cron jobs
It's just been great. I absolutely love using this tool and have told my friends about it. It's really a set it and forget it kind of tool. The interface is easy to understand and the software is so easy to customize. I'm a big fan of this service.
PROSI love how easy it is to set up and make it work exactly the way you want to. It's so easy to be creative with this tool as well. I use it a lot in my home automations as it helps me track down faulty configurations quickly. For example, when an automation doesn't trigger as it should, Healthcheck.io alerts me immediately via Pushover since it didn't receive the ping it was supposed to get. It's also self-hostable and really easy to set that up via Docker or pip.
CONSI honestly can't complain about anything with this software. It's free, it's reliable and it's great - what's not to love. Is it maybe a bit simple? Yes, but I really don't need a super-advanced tool (a lot of times I feel like you sign up for a service with so many features but only use one)
Reasons for switching to Healthchecks.io
It was a great tool, but it had so many features I didn't need.

Does the job and gets out of the way
Generous free tier for personal or side projects, easy to set up
CONSServers such as nginx or kubernetes don't have built-in integrations so you need to do some setup work. Not difficult, though.
Reason for choosing Healthchecks.io
Ease of use, free tier
