Real browser checks.
Flat-rate price.
PathWatch runs complete user journeys (sign-in, checkout, any multi-step flow) in real Chromium, Firefox and WebKit, alongside uptime, SSL, DNS and eight other check types. No per-check charges. No per-run fees.
Free plan available. No credit card required.
Monitoring built for the middle ground
Enterprise platforms price browser testing out of reach. Free tools do not offer it at all.
PathWatch combines ordinary uptime checks with real browser tests on selectable engines (Chromium, Firefox, or WebKit) so you can verify the journeys that actually earn money, not just that a server answered a request.
Run those checks from our global cloud locations, or from inside your own network with a self-hosted Docker runner. Same platform, same dashboard, same API.
What that buys you
- Flat-rate pricing Competitors bill per browser run. Every PathWatch plan includes its limits outright. Use them all and the price does not move.
- Your network, your runner Monitor internal services, staging, and VPN-protected apps from a container you control. The same image we run in the cloud.
- The API is the product The dashboard is built on the same public REST API you get. Nothing is reserved for internal use.
- Hardened by default TLS 1.3 with AES-256-GCM encrypted runner traffic, read-only containers, SSRF protection, and full audit logging.
- UK company Built by Vertexion Platforms Ltd in the United Kingdom. GDPR-compliant by design.
Ten check types, one platform
From a single HTTP request to a full multi-step journey. Every type is built in, available on every plan, and usable from any location you have access to.
