PathWatch drives complete user journeys through real browser engines — sign-in, checkout, any multi-step flow — alongside uptime, SSL, DNS and six other check types, from 46 locations worldwide. Flat monthly pricing with nothing billed per check or per run.
Free plan available — no credit card required.
A ping tells you a server answered. It cannot tell you that step three of your checkout is broken. PathWatch scripts multi-step journeys and runs them in real Chromium, Firefox or WebKit — the engine is yours to choose.
Run every check from up to 46 locations across six continents, or from inside your own network with a self-hosted Docker runner. Same platform, same dashboard, same API.
SSL expiry, chain validity, issuer changes, DNS records and domain registration — watched continuously.
Branded public status pages on your own domain, with incidents, maintenance windows and subscriber notifications built in.
Monitor internal services, staging environments and VPN-protected applications from a container you control — the same image we run in our cloud. Traffic back to the API is TLS 1.3 with AES-256-GCM encrypted payloads, from a read-only container with no package managers.

Twelve delivery channels, with escalation policies and exponential backoff so a flapping check never turns into an alert storm.
SMS included on Pro and Business. Every channel is available on every plan.

Prices are shown in your local currency, including any applicable tax, when your region is supported — these are the exact amounts charged at checkout.

Real browser checks on Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit — screenshots, Web Vitals, multi-step flows. Each add-on is a single monitor slot. Cloud checks run on ephemeral containers globally. Self-hosted checks run on your own runner at any interval.
Business plans include 7 Lite + 3 Flow browser monitors · All add-ons stack on top of your plan
Run your checks from the locations your customers are in, across 6 continents. Key locations are backed by multiple cloud providers for redundancy.
Monitoring from 46 locations across 6 continents
We built the monitoring tool we wanted to use. Here's what makes PathWatch different.
Competitors charge per browser run. We include generous limits in every plan. Use them all, pay the same.
Not headless HTTP requests pretending to be browsers. Real browser engines with full rendering, JavaScript execution, and network capture.
Deploy a Docker container inside your private network. Monitor internal services, staging environments, and VPN-protected applications.
Every feature available via REST API. Build integrations, automate workflows, and manage monitors programmatically.
TLS 1.3 with AES-256-GCM encrypted runner communication, tamper-proof read-only containers, SSRF protection, and full audit logging.
Built by Vertexion Platforms Ltd in the United Kingdom. GDPR-compliant by design. Your data stays where you expect it.
Free tier available, no credit card required. Simple, reliable monitoring for developers and teams.
