Black Friday in 14 days: will your customers be able to pay? 25% off the first year and free setup, until 30 NovemberSee the offer →

Your site responds. Your Pay button doesn’t.

A basic check sees a site that is online. It doesn’t see a cart or a checkout that is stuck. Pathly walks through your site like a customer, in a real browser, and sends you a screenshot of the step that breaks.

Email on every plan. Slack and Teams from Freelance.

The problem

Online doesn’t mean open

Pathly watches the path. Ping if it’s up. Flow if a user can walk it. Chain if the services behind it hold.

In a shopA basic check makes sure the shop door is open. Pathly makes sure people can buy.

Ping
The shutter is up and the door opens.
Flow
A mystery shopper fills a basket and walks to the till, without paying. If the till is down, you get the photo.
Chain
Behind the counter, the card terminal reaches the bank and the stock system answers.

The journey, end to end

A real browser replays cart and checkout, and captures the step that breaks.

Brochure websites

Forms, login, customer portal

Does your agency build brochure websites on WordPress or Drupal? Pathly goes beyond the checkout. A Flow tests the contact or quote form, the login and the customer portal, just as a visitor would. If a step breaks, you get a screenshot of it.

Common questions

Before you start

What is Pathly, exactly?

Pathly watches the path your business depends on. Ping: an address answers (status, time, text, headers, JSON, GraphQL, SSL, domain). Flow: a visitor can still click (real Chrome, EU). Chain: the calls behind it hold (login then API). Email alerts on every plan; Slack, Teams, Discord, PagerDuty and Opsgenie on every paid plan. On Freelance, Pro and Business, an on-demand AI explanation summarises the failure (EU region, never automatic, Solo: none). One measurement origin. Escalation after N consecutive failures (default 3). Status page, badge and monthly report complete the picture.

My uptime monitoring is green — why would I need Pathly?

A 200 response only means the server answered. It does not mean the “Sign in” button still works, that a script has not broken checkout, or that a step now takes 12 seconds instead of 2. Pathly replays the journey exactly as your visitor experiences it. If uptime monitoring is green while the journey is red, your customers are blocked even though the hosting looks healthy.

What’s the difference between Ping, Flow and Chain?

Ping sends an HTTP request and checks status, time, text, headers, JSON or GraphQL — without Chrome. Chain sequences several calls (login then a protected route) and counts as 1 run from the same pool as Flow. Flow opens real Chrome: clicks, typing, cart, cookies. Solo: 1 Flow / 24 h. Freelance: morning and evening (~12 h) + 25 Ping addresses. Pro (800 runs / month) and Business (2,400) for continuous coverage. You can link Ping and Flow: if the API is down, Pathly does not open Chrome.

Which plan should I pick? Prices?

The short answer: one site → Freelance (€29, morning and evening). Several sites → Pro (€69, 800 runs) or Business (€199, 2,400 runs). Slack, Teams, Discord, PagerDuty, Opsgenie and webhooks: included from Freelance. 50 addresses on Pro, 200 on Business. Beyond the quota, packs of 100, 500 or 2,000 runs (€9, €39 or €129 excl. VAT), one-off purchase valid 12 months. Solo €0 = 1 site / day, 5 alerts.

Where is data hosted?

Your data and the checks are stored in Europe, inside the European Union. Integration secrets are encrypted: Slack, Teams and Discord webhook addresses, PagerDuty and Opsgenie keys, Azure DevOps access token, HTTP authentication credentials of your checks. Passwords and tokens typed by a Flow are encrypted too, and the app shows them masked. Other typed values (email, name) stay readable to the members of your workspace, who need them to repair a step: use a dedicated test account rather than a real customer account. No secret appears in technical logs or in our code. Two-factor authentication and backup codes are configured in Settings. A session lasts 14 days.
