The ErrorDetector column is the product as shipped today: every number comes from the same constants the app enforces. A HetrixTools cell appears only with a source and the date we checked it; we do not restate HetrixTools's plans from memory. Their plans change — the link in each unverified cell goes to their current page.

Where HetrixTools wins

Questions people ask when switching

Does ErrorDetector do blacklist monitoring like HetrixTools?

Yes, on paid plans: a blacklist monitor queries the DNS-based blocklists we are allowed to query commercially, names each list in the result, and records "unknown" rather than "clean" when a query is refused. It is checked twice a day by design, because listings change over hours, not minutes.

Does ErrorDetector monitor servers (CPU, RAM, disk)?

No, and it will not: that is infrastructure monitoring for sysadmins. ErrorDetector monitors what a client of yours would notice: the site, its certificate and domain, its API, its scheduled jobs, its mail reputation.
