Robotalp uptime monitoring, $5K a month, self-reported in 2022: one place to watch
Robotalp monitors service availability, speed, security and content integrity from one place. Its $5K a month was founder-reported on the Indie Hackers product page (not independently verified), as of April 2022.

Robotalp monitors services' availability, speed, security and content integrity from one place. It gives users status pages and monitoring history they can share with clients. It also detects website changes and sends timely alerts.

Where it sits in the data
Robotalp's $5K a month is higher than 58% of the 6,604 projects with founder-reported monthly revenue in our dataset; the median across them is $2K. Snapshot: 2026-09-30. The dataset only covers founders who chose to publish their numbers, so it leans toward businesses that work; use it for scale, not as an average.
Currency
All figures are in US dollars as published. A rough yuan or euro conversion is not applied here because prices, taxes and acquisition costs differ by country.
Could you build something like this?
In my view, demand would come from developers, teams and large companies that need to watch service availability, speed, security and content integrity. Distribution would need a clear route to those buyers through the product's own free plan, affiliate program, knowledgebase and FAQ. The site also supports a view that a new entrant would need to explain how it reaches individual developers, teams and large companies.
Verdict: Needs real work.
One thing to take from it
Robotalp combines a free monitoring plan, pay-as-you-go credits and paid plans with all robot types, all integrations and unlimited alerts. The product presents several monitoring functions in one place, including status pages, history, website-change detection and alerts.
