Even with 40% off I cant justify $120 to monitor hosting packages I paid less for lol. I prefer Hetrix to Uptime Robot, but it's a hard sell when Hetrix is more expensive /with/ the discount.

hetrix offer 15 free uptime and server monitor. It's suitable for monitoring your shared hosting website.

I have 10 websites, maybe 2 more as the year ends. Got a paid plan with the discount coupon:
USD 30 for 12 months for 10 websites
=
3 US Dollars for a month for 10 websites
=
30 US Cents per website per month
Maybe I am just dumb to think the paid plan is not that expensive.

Unfortunately there's never going to be a package that'd suite everyone's needs and budgets... at least not in a sustainable way for the provider.

Sure, but I can quickly see I'd be paying for 600 SMS credits which I would have zero use for. Same for extra locations. I dont need additional features, just monitors.
Obviously you know your market better than I do, it's just too expensive for /me/ I realise that.

I have ~40 different shared hosting packages
I do not want to crap on this offer thread by @Andrei but if you message me, I can send you a link to my blog post. There are many other services which offer upto 50 free monitors. Or just follow link in my signature and search for monitors.
I already use a service with 50 free monitors I use hetrix free as a second opinion, although admittedly I think it performs better. Which is why I would have been interested in paying (something, but not $120 USD (or 199!))

I doubt that SMS credits take a huge chunk of the price. It's just - people want to make an honest, decent living.
If you have many websites to monitor - you could teach your friends how to do it (if you're doing it for friends, for free), or calculate the cost of tools you use (if you're charging for that as a service).
HetrixTools do offer a good quality service - and tech. support (at least in my experience - as a free - non-paying customer!). But bikes & hoes don't come for free!
Well, there are many choices for monitoring for free and I'm aware these free plans are to get people on board for the upsell. That's not really my point though, I'd be prepared to pay for the service if it means they can operate at a profit and hopefully stick around in the market, but just not $120 per year, that's too much for /me/. I'm aware for others, its a good value proposition if you can make use of the additional features.

For the client side monitoring agent it's worth it even at full price. Service is genuinely set and forget... up there with MXRoute.
Get an iOS app ???

yep!
edit: maybe ~50 across ~40
Now this would be great. @Andrei are there any plans to add an app?
Okay, I'm gonna give it a try. Maybe I am one of the lucky guys.

I can hardly keep track with 5 providers.
Not in the immediate future, no.
Cheers.
@Andrei do we have some winners already?
An Android / iOS native app would be a nifty little thing to have to monitor our boxes. Just saying
Well, Andrei posted it here too. So I guess I'll just delete my copy of it.
