The Verdict
Phare Uptime is an Estonian startup that gets the indie hacker ethos: completely free for hobbyists and solopreneurs. When you're ready to monetize, pricing scales from €5/month based on actual usage (monthly events), not arbitrary monitor tiers. Checks run every 30 seconds from 12 regions across Europe, Americas, Asia, and Oceania—genuinely global coverage that indie hackers normally can't afford.\n\nThe product is built on principles indie hackers respect: runs on 100% renewable energy, hosted in Europe on Hetzner infrastructure, and pricing transparently tied to your actual monitoring events. Status pages and incident management included at all tiers. Perfect for indie founders who want global monitoring coverage without American SaaS pricing.
