Question 1

Is monit.rs free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The free tier monitors 3 endpoints with the full feature set — schema-aware regression detection, OpenAPI contract testing, AI incident analysis, status pages, mobile triage, security fuzz testing. No credit card. Paid tiers start above 3 endpoints.

Question 2

How is monit.rs different from Pingdom or Uptime Robot?

Accepted Answer

Traditional uptime monitors check status code and response time. monit.rs additionally learns the schema of each endpoint's responses and detects when fields change, types drift, or status codes break — catching API regressions that look fine to a status-code check but break clients downstream.

Question 3

What does "schema-aware" mean?

Accepted Answer

monit.rs records the JSON shape of each endpoint's responses as a baseline, then compares every subsequent response against it. When a field is removed, added, or changes type, you get an alert before any downstream client breaks — a class of regression that status-code monitors miss entirely.

Question 4

Can monit.rs replace Statuspage.io for public status pages?

Accepted Answer

For small-to-mid teams, yes. Every monitored endpoint can be added to a public or private status page at <slug>.status.monit.rs with automatic uptime history, incident timelines, and a per-page social preview. Statuspage.io enterprise features like subscriber notifications and component grouping are planned.

Question 5

Does monit.rs work with OpenAPI / Swagger?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Import an OpenAPI spec via URL or file and monit.rs creates one monitored endpoint per operation, with the spec as the contract baseline. Subsequent responses are validated against the spec; drift is flagged as a contract regression.

Question 6

Where is the data hosted?

Accepted Answer

All monitoring data is stored in PostgreSQL in the United States. Account email and name are the only personal data collected. Account deletion is one-click via https://monit.rs/delete-account and complies with GDPR Article 17.

Question 7

Is there an iOS or Android app?

Accepted Answer

Android (Play Store) is in internal testing. iOS pending Apple Developer enrollment. Both apps allow acknowledging, assigning, and resolving incidents from the lockscreen via push notification — triage without unlocking.

Question 8

How are AI incident summaries generated?

Accepted Answer

When a regression opens, monit.rs runs the diff plus recent context through an LLM (OpenAI or Anthropic) to produce a plain-English likely-cause and suggested next step. The summary appears in every alert email and on the incident detail page. Disabled per-account if preferred.
