I prefer healthchecks.io, mainly because cron job monitoring was all I
was looking for, and the software is open source.

There is a comparison with cronitor at
https://healthchecks.io/docs/healthchecks_cronitor_comparison/.  That
page only talks about cron job monitoring, though, and cronitor has
other functionality as well.

Source for healthchecks.io is at
https://github.com/healthchecks/healthchecks, so you could potentially
host it somewhere yourself.  I like having that possibility, but at the
moment, I'm just using the instances at healthchecks.io.

Everyone's called Thomas? I doubt it ... 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doubting_Thomas

[In Wales, Thomas is quite a common family name - there are probably *lots*
of sets of twins surnamed Thomas :) ]

Which is a pity, ain't it ;-)

Imagine the clerk at the civil registration office:

 Q: "But... but both your kids are called Thomas?"
 A: "Well, yes. They are twins!"

Thanks, Tomas, I was not savy enough to think of that!

P.S. We share a good, Biblical name, don't we?

Gah. My eyes hurt now after having looked at the web site.

Besides, it looks a bit like a bait-and-switch SaSS.

No, I wouldn't use it.
