Will the free plan be pulled or restricted after I build on it?

Users of a free monitor were told to pay with little notice. What SoloNOC’s free plan covers, and what protects it today.

Updated 2026-10-24. Every quote links to where it was published.

In admins’ own words

“They are closing free accounts, you need to pay going forward.”

“I'd certainly expect at least 30 days.”

“restriction was a retroactive change to their terms of service”

“they silently changed their terms for the free tier.”

What it is

A free plan is only worth building on if it stays. When a vendor withdraws or narrows one at short notice, every check, dashboard and habit built on it has to move at once.

How SoloNOC does it

• The Free plan covers 1 site and 10 devices and needs no card. (pinned by: tierPurchasePath.test.tsx)
• The terms say pricing changes only with 30 days’ notice. (pinned by: answers.test.tsx)

What admins report from other tools

Users of free uptime monitors describe free accounts closed and restricted by retroactive changes to the terms, with less notice than they expected.
