What’s Included

The Free plan includes all core PingPilot features:

Multi-Channel Notifications

  • Telegram: Instant messages to your Telegram account with formatted event details
  • Email: Professional email notifications for every event

Quota Management

Your monthly quota resets on the 1st of each month. You can monitor your usage in the dashboard:
  • Current usage vs. limit
  • Events remaining this month
  • Quota reset date
When you reach your monthly limit of 100 events, the API will return a 429 status code:
{
  "message": "Monthly quota reached. Please upgrade your plan for more events"
}
See quota.ts:84-99 for implementation details.

Limitations

While the Free plan is great for getting started, consider these limitations:
Event Limit: 100 events per month may not be sufficient for production applications or frequent monitoring
Category Limit: Only 3 event categories means less organization for complex projects
No Priority Support: Community support only, no guaranteed response times

When to Upgrade

Consider upgrading to Pro if you:
  • Need more than 100 events per month
  • Want to create more than 3 event categories
  • Require priority support
  • Are using PingPilot for production applications
