UptimeRobot's Pro plan went from roughly $4/month to $22/month — a 425% increase. The free tier still exists but with growing limitations. Many developers are looking for alternatives that won't pull the same pricing switch in a year. ProxyKit was built with simple, sustainable pricing from day one.
