Pingdom alternative for browser journeys

Pingdom excels at HTTP uptime and SLAs. Pathly adds or replaces the “does the customer journey still work?” layer with a no-code recorder.

Pingdom + Pathly

Many teams keep Pingdom for infrastructure and add Pathly on business flows (login, checkout, booking). An “HTTP 200 but dead cart” no longer goes unnoticed.

What Pathly adds

A screenshot of the step that breaks, sent with the alert. Data hosted in Europe (Google Cloud europe-west1), with a public DPA. A monthly PDF report to pass on to the client. And a free Solo plan, no card, to try it on a real site before choosing.

What Pathly does not do

Pathly checks from Europe, not from dozens of countries. It does not measure your site’s real visitors (RUM): it replays a journey on a schedule. If you need either, keep the tool that does it and add Pathly on the journey.

Common questions

Can Pathly replace Pingdom?

On many sites, yes: Ping checks that the address responds, Flow replays the journey. No if you rely on checks from many countries or on real-visitor tracking: Pathly does neither.

How do I build a journey without code?

You click through the journey once in the recorder. On WooCommerce, Shopify, PrestaShop, Magento, WordPress, Joomla and Drupal, Lumi prepares it for you and replays it before showing it. You validate each step.

Where is the data hosted?

On Google Cloud, in Belgium (europe-west1): the app, the checks and the screenshots. The DPA is public, on the Security and GDPR page.
