koigrid vs Checkly
Uptime & synthetic monitoring — the flat-rate alternative to Checkly.
Checkly pioneered monitoring-as-code, but pricing scales with check runs and it lives apart from your infra. koigrid Checks gives you URL & API checks with assertions and alerting at a flat rate, right next to the apps and databases it watches, all drivable by an AI agent.

Frequently asked questions
Is koigrid cheaper than Checkly?
koigrid is flat-rate with bandwidth included — no per-GB egress or per-request fees. For a comparable setup you usually pay a lot less (see the estimate above).
Can I migrate from Checkly without lock-in?
Yes. koigrid runs on portable primitives — standard PostgreSQL, S3-compatible storage and containers — so you can move in (or out) whenever you want.
Where is my data hosted?
In data centers in the EU, on servers we run ourselves. The privacy policy says exactly where.
Can I run everything from an API or an AI agent?
Yes — koigrid is API-first and agent-native: every action has an API and a scoped token, with llms.txt and OpenAPI so an LLM can operate it end to end.
