1-minute checks on every plan
1,440 checks per day. Set each monitor anywhere from every minute to every 60 minutes — every minute for web pages, less often for things like email.

Website monitoring that tells you first.
BinaryCanary checks your websites and servers every minute from multiple locations and confirms every failure from a second location, so the first person to hear about a problem is you — not a customer. Simple to live with, and priced to stay in your stack.

Uptime monitoring you can rely on
Fast checks, no false alarms, and every feature on every plan.
Every failure confirmed twice
When one monitoring node detects a failure, a separate node on a different network confirms it before any alert is sent, so a temporary network problem doesn't trigger an alert.
Websites, email, servers & more
Web pages, round-trip email, databases, routers, and any device on a custom port — watched from California, Oregon, Virginia, and Ireland.

What our customers say
“We’ve been using Binary Canary since 2010 and as an agency with a high number of individual client sites to manage, Binary Canary is invaluable for us – it ensures we know first when a site or server goes down. The ability to monitor from multiple locations adds an extra level of reliability, and the service provides excellent value for money.”
Why teams choose it
The useful signal, without the operational theatre.
Monitoring earns its place by answering one question quickly: is the thing I depend on working? BinaryCanary is built around answering it well and getting out of the way.
Understandable on day one
No rollout project, no query language to learn, no platform to migrate onto first. You point BinaryCanary at what you care about and it starts watching.
The part that shouldn't wobble
A monitoring service only has value if you trust it when it stays quiet. Being dependable is the product, not a feature bullet underneath it.
Not the line item you defend
Knowing your site is up shouldn't cost more than running it. Plans start at $2 a month and the largest published plan is $20 a month.
What BinaryCanary watches
Website monitoring and server monitoring, in one view.
The pages your customers actually reach
Your public-facing site is where an outage becomes visible to everyone at once. BinaryCanary watches it so that window stays short.
The machines everything else sits on
Behind the site is the infrastructure carrying it. Keeping both in the same view means you spend less time guessing which layer broke.
A simple philosophy
Complex systems do not need a complicated monitoring experience.
“A canary gives you an early signal. Everything we build is in service of making that signal worth acting on.”
That means fewer things to configure, fewer things to interpret, and a bill that doesn't punish you for watching more of your own estate.
