Downdetector
Downdetector collects user reports and monitors other online sources so consumers can check service status and businesses can see when customers report problems. It identifies an incident when reports rise significantly above the average for that time of day over the prior six months, and updates monitored service status every four minutes. Downdetector says it covers over 36,000 services in 72 countries and processes tens of millions of reports each month. Consumers can use the Free plan for up to five favorites, with outage notifications through the Speedtest app subject to daily limits. Pro costs $13.99 a month and allows up to 10 favorites, offers more daily notifications and removes ads on the web and in the Speedtest app. For organizations, Explorer has a real-time dashboard for multiple services, configurable alerts, geographic breakdowns and historical analysis.
