Creator here. As a developer, I use a number of tools to monitor our applications and setup alerts. When incidents happen, it affects small and medium companies the same as enterprises in terms of customer loss and reliability issues. The current solutions just seem dated and not built for startups.
So, I built one myself. Spike.sh is a minimalist alternative (https://spike.sh/features) focused more towards simplicity, ease of use and un-complicated pricing catered for non-enterprises.
I built all of the backend and frontend myself. I took some help from friends with regards to design and integrations. Also, took full use of Fiverr in terms of building integrations as a plug-n-play.
Previously, I worked with Wingify which was born here 10 years ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23466470). I have been seeking inspiration from them and couldn't wait to show what I have been working on full-time for the past year.

That's one thing I definitely feel very strongly about.
Also for $7, how would it work
I think $7 works fine with just alerting. A consistent pricing is important - makes it easily affordable to get started
