Work on Checkly? Verify this listing (free)Code-first Playwright monitoring for APIs and critical user journeys
Active reliability platform that turns Playwright tests and API checks into production monitoring from 22+ regions. Define monitors as TypeScript/JavaScript (CLI, Terraform or Pulumi), run Playwright Check Suites without a rewrite, alert to Slack/PagerDuty/SMS, publish status pages, and get AI root-cause analysis (Rocky AI). Built for agents too: Checkly CLI, MCP server and Agent Skills. Pricing is modular (Detect / Communicate / Resolve): Hobby free forever (1 user, 10 uptime monitors, 1,000 browser check runs, 10,000 API check runs, 10 AI RCA invocations); Starter Detect from $29/mo ($24 annual); Team Detect from $80/mo ($64 annual); Enterprise custom.
Best for: Teams that already write Playwright tests and want the same scripts watching production from the outside in

Why this score: Best fit when you already have Playwright tests and want monitoring-as-code after deploy: free Hobby tier, native Playwright suites, CLI/Terraform/Pulumi, plus MCP and agent skills. Below Playwright itself (a free framework) and below Better Stack on ownership because Checkly is proprietary SaaS; paid Detect starts at $29/mo and status pages / AI RCA are separate modules.
