SiteBrief vs Pingdom

Pingdom charges $40+ for uptime.
SiteBrief gives you more for less.

Pingdom is a solid uptime tool but has no white-label reports, no client portals, and no accessibility scanning. SiteBrief is built for agencies that need all three.

Why agencies switch from Pingdom

Pingdom monitors performance. SiteBrief monitors performance AND reports it to your clients.

White-label PDF reports

Pingdom has no client reporting. SiteBrief generates branded PDF reports with uptime, SSL, PageSpeed, and AI summaries — ready to email to clients every month.

More affordable

Pingdom starts at $40/mo for basic monitoring. SiteBrief Pro is $29/mo with more features — white-label reports, accessibility scanning, and DNS monitoring included.

Client-facing portals

SiteBrief includes a branded client portal per client on your own domain. Clients can log in and see their site's status — without accessing your main dashboard.

Accessibility & security scanning

Pingdom only monitors uptime and speed. SiteBrief also scans for WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility violations and security headers on every client site.

Built for agencies

Manage all client sites in one dashboard. Bulk operations, team roles, per-site permissions, and white-label everything — Pingdom is built for DevOps, not agencies.

GDPR compliant

SiteBrief stores all data in the EU and is fully GDPR compliant — critical for European agencies handling client data.

Common questions

Is SiteBrief cheaper than Pingdom?

Yes. SiteBrief Pro is $29/mo vs Pingdom's $40+/mo — and SiteBrief includes white-label reports, client portals, and accessibility scanning that Pingdom doesn't offer.

Does SiteBrief check uptime as frequently as Pingdom?

Yes — SiteBrief checks every 1 minute on paid plans, matching Pingdom's standard interval.

Can I white-label reports with my agency logo?

Yes. Upload your logo, set your brand color, and every PDF report and status page will show your branding — not SiteBrief's.

Does SiteBrief have a free plan?

Yes. Free plan includes 20 sites, 2-minute checks, and email alerts. No credit card required.
