A monitor checked every minute or slower counts as 1, heartbeats included. Every 30 seconds counts as 2, and every 15 seconds as 4. The certificate and domain checks that come with a website monitor count as 0, and so do paused monitors. **Every 15 seconds** Team and Agency Counts as 4 **Every 30 seconds** Indie and up Counts as 2 **Every minute** The usual choice on paid plans Counts as 1 **Every 5 minutes** Every monitor on Free Counts as 1 **Scheduled jobs (heartbeats)** And certificate or domain monitors on their own Counts as 1 **Certificate and domain of a site you watch** Watched with the site, automatically Counts as 0 **Paused monitors** Keep them as long as you like Counts as 0 ### Example: Nimbli on Indie 1 project · 16 monitors 15 checked every minute or slower **15** nimbli.app, checked every 30 seconds, counts as 2 **2** Certificates and domains of its sites, watched with them **0** Counts as **17 of 50 monitors** **Room for 33 more** ### Example: an agency on Agency 640 monitors 580 checked every minute or slower **580** 60 checked every 30 seconds, 2 each **120** Counts as **700 of 1,500 monitors** **Room for 800 more every minute, or 400 every 30 seconds** Every client shares the plan's 1,500, so a busy client can use room a quiet one doesn't. ### Work out your plan **Every minute or slower** Count as 1 each Monitors every minute or slower: 20 **Every 30 seconds** Count as 2 each Monitors every 30 seconds: 0 **Every 15 seconds** Count as 4 each Monitors every 15 seconds: 0 **Projects** One for each product or client Projects: 2 Team holds 10 projects, and the projects you add here count against it. Agency holds as many clients as you have, with client viewers and white-label reports. These count as **20** monitors, in 2 projects 20 of Indie's 50 monitors: 40% Indie fits, with room for 30 more and 3 more projects $9 [Choose Indie](https://app.badgerbell.com/upgrade) Free: 20 is over 10, and Free has 1 project $0 Add 30 more, checked every 30 seconds Indie: 80 is over 50 Team fits, with room for 320 more $29 Or 30 projects, one for each client Team: 30 projects is over 10 Agency fits: $2.63 a client $79 Compare plans ## Everything, side by side.

Write to [support@badgerbell.com](mailto:support@badgerbell.com) and a person will answer. ### Can I use the free plan for my business? Yes. Free means free, for any use, business included. It's in section 3 of our [Terms](https://badgerbell.com/terms.md#terms-3), and a free account nobody logs into keeps running. ### What's a project? One product, or one client. Each project has its own monitors, status pages and alert settings: who gets alerted, escalation, quiet hours and who gets the monthly report. The plan is shared by all your projects: its monitors, status pages, email subscribers and AI explanations. Free has 1 project, Indie 5, Team 10, and Agency as many as you need, called clients. ### What does the plan lock cover? Your plan's price and what it includes, for as long as you stay subscribed. If we ever change a plan, you get 90 days' notice by email, and you either keep what you have or leave with a pro-rata refund. The lock stays for 60 days if a card fails or you downgrade, so a bank problem or a quiet month doesn't cost you your price. If you leave and come back after 60 days, you pay the price that day. Upgrading never takes anything away: no paid plan has fewer monitors than the free one. ### When am I charged? By card, through Stripe, monthly or yearly. Every plan bills on the 1st of the month. Your first charge covers only the days left in that month: choosing Indie on 9 November is about $6.60 that day for the 22 days left, then $9 on 1 December. A yearly plan is charged the same way: the first charge covers only the days left until the 1st, a small part of the year's price, and the full year's price comes on that 1st and every year after. Cancel anytime from Plan and usage. ### What if my card is declined? Nothing pauses and no status page goes offline until 30 days after the first failed charge. Every owner of the team is told from the first failure, so someone can fix the card. After that, the team moves to Free and monitors past its 10 pause. Your plan and price stay locked for 60 days. ### Do you charge for seats, branding or a custom domain? Seats are free on every plan. A custom domain and removing "Powered by BadgerBell" come with any paid plan, for every page, at no extra charge. ### What happens if I go past my plan's limit? Your monitors never stop, and nothing costs extra. You can't add more monitors, or make one faster, until there's room. Past your texts for the month, alerts keep coming by email, Slack and webhooks; texts start again on the 1st. Each plan sends up to 300, 2,000, 4,000 or 9,000 emails a month. Past that, your own alerts come as one email an hour, and subscriber emails wait until the 1st; your status page keeps updating. A quarter past that, email alerts wait until the 1st too, while Slack, webhooks and texts keep going. Past your AI explanations, incidents still show every fact; only the written summary waits for next month. Your team's owners get an email at 80% and at 100% of each limit, saying what stops and when it starts again. ### Is paying yearly cheaper? Yes: a year costs 10 months, so 2 months are free. Indie is $90 a year instead of $108, Team $290 instead of $348, and Agency $790 instead of $948. Moving from monthly to yearly starts at your next renewal. ### What happens if I move to a smaller plan? We list everything that changes first, and you choose which monitors and projects keep running. The rest pause, with their alert rules and status pages kept. Only daily totals older than the new plan keeps are deleted, after 60 days, so you can come back or export them. ### Can I bring my setup from another tool? Not your monitors yet. Your assistant can move your UptimeRobot monitors through MCP with the prompt on [our home page](https://badgerbell.com/index.md#ai-agents). Status page subscribers come in from Statuspage or a CSV file. ### Why is the free plan 10 monitors, not 50? So we never have to cut it. Raising it later is good news; cutting it would break our promise. ## Badgers work nights. So you don't have to. Ten monitors, a status page and alerts to Slack, free for as long as you like. Upgrade when you outgrow it.
