Question 1

How does Pingzo confirm a real outage vs a false alarm?

Accepted Answer

Pingzo uses a sliding-window failure detection algorithm. If 60% or more of the last 5 checks within a 30-minute window fail, we confirm an incident and alert you. This eliminates false positives from momentary network blips — you only get notified about real, sustained outages.

Question 2

Do I need a WhatsApp Business account?

Accepted Answer

No! You just need a regular WhatsApp number. Pingzo handles the Business API integration on our end through Meta-approved BSPs. Simply enter your phone number, verify it, and you're ready to receive alerts.

Question 3

Is the free tier really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, forever. You get 1 monitor with 15-minute check intervals, email alerts, and a public status page with Pingzo branding. No credit card required, no time limit. Upgrade only when you need more monitors, faster checks, or WhatsApp/Telegram alerts.
