I am trying it out. But I get a 403 error when trying to create my first new monitor. It's a silent error in the background. Had to open the network inspector to see it because it just sits there.

#13Love the idea. Totally understand the business use case. Not in love with the pricing. Feels like paying $49/mo is too high for a marketer to try out, but too low for the fact you can run an effective DDoS of some sites with it I'd suggest changing the buckets - up to 10 monitored pages on free, a Silver Tier of maybe $29/mo of up to 100 pages + frequency of as low as hourly, a Gold Tier of maybe $99/mo of up to 1000…
It looks like at most, you can update every 30 minutes. So you aren't going to be doing any DDoS'ing with this.

I’ll make sure to fix that one on next release.

#17Earlier quoted context omitted.
This is incorrect. You can update up to every minute.
A request every minute is a DDOS attack?
As the creator of the service (which is not proposed as a DDoS service), I can confirm the fastest frequency is every minute.
For on premise deployments, Monitoro supports updating every second.
Using the service to explicitly harm a website is forbidden and the culprits will be banned, free and paid accounts alike.
