For engineers that care.

A Script Run (see docs) is a full execution of a Script's project source files (see docs). For example, if you have a test file with the following 3 requests and assertions, a single Script Run includes them all.

GET https://www.skybear.net/
HTTP 200
GET https://www.skybear.net/pricing
HTTP 200
GET https://www.skybear.net/docs/
HTTP 200

Other tools and services might refer to these requests as "API test steps" or "API checks".

We do not charge for individual requests, or how many assertions you do, or how complex your Scripts are; just on the Script Runs you make. This means that if your Script project has tens or hundreds of requests, even across multiple source files, they are all included in a single run.

You will sometimes pay 10x/100x less compared to other request/check-based tools.

It really depends on the complexity on the tests you want to do, and how you integrate Skybear.NET into your Continuous Integration (CI) pipelines. See a few common use-cases below to get an idea of what you might need:

• 1 Script making 10 HTTP requests every 5-minutes: (60/5)*24 = 288 runs per day
• 10 Scripts, each making 20 HTTP calls every 10-minutes: 10*(60/10)*24 = 1440 runs per day
• 1000 deployments per day, each invoking an HTTP Hook trigger for API validation: 1000 runs per day

We only charge for Script project runs, not individual requests made by your test files. Each of your tests can do everything it needs to do without worrying about extra charges.

Skybear.NET Scripts support the full Hurl plain text syntax, and therefore enable you to write multi-step tests and workflows, with multiple and exhaustive assertions for the HTTP responses, including headers and body.

This means you can write extensive Synthetics tests ensuring all your important API use-cases are working correctly. Each Script can have hundreds of requests (steps), and can chain requests together, that is extracting and capturing data from a response and passing it to subsequent requests.

You can also use Skybear.NET Scripts for adhoc HTTP workflow automation, like orchestrating tens or hundreds of HTTP calls, that you run manually or configure to run periodically.

Nope! Skybear.NET can do uptime checks, but it’s a lot more than just an uptime checker.

Skybear.NET enables you to write multi-step tests and workflows, with multiple and exhaustive assertions for the HTTP response headers and body. Even though you can use Skybear.NET Scripts just as uptime checkers, you are limiting yourself if you only do that.

Frankly, if you just want a simple uptime checker you will be better off with a dedicated uptime tool that lacks functionality but is cheaper. Email us and we can suggest such tool if needed.

Keep this in mind when comparing multiple tools, especially in terms of pricing, since traditional uptime checkers might be cheaper, but they are also extremely more limited.

Every signed-in account has a free quota to use every month, but most features are heavily rate-limited. These limits are subject to change without notice, and therefore you should not depend on the free quotas for anything important.

We provide the FREE tier to let you try the platform and write your first Scripts without having to pay anything up-front. We don’t want your money until you feel comfortable with our platform.
