7 days with everything unlocked, no credit card — then one journey checked daily, free forever.
A plugin update ships on Tuesday. The site stays up, the dashboard stays green, and checkout throws an error on the payment step. Nobody notices until the client calls on Thursday.
NorthDuty runs that checkout on a schedule and tells you on Tuesday.
Pick a flow, let NorthDuty run it in a real browser on a schedule, and get the failing step with a screenshot — not a status code. Here is what that looks like, start to finish.
Add a URL and NorthDuty proposes the site-specific happy paths — add to cart, checkout, signup, login, contact form — as concrete steps. Enable the ones you care about, or describe your own in plain text. No scripts.
Every run keeps a step timeline with screenshots, latest duration, and success rate. When the submit step starts throwing an error, you see that exact step and its screenshot — not a generic 'site down'.
Alongside the step result, NorthDuty compares the latest screenshot against the previous baseline and highlights the changed area, so you can show a client exactly what moved.
Set thresholds for failed journeys first, then add health score, response time, visual difference, and SSL expiry if you want them. Email, Slack, SMS, and more.
Enter your URL and NorthDuty checks the pages and flows customers actually use — no scripts to write, nothing to install.
7 days with every feature unlocked, no credit card required — then keep monitoring on the free forever plan.
Journeys are the reason to switch. Everything an uptime tool would give you runs on every project too, at no extra setup — so you don't need a second tool.
Full access for a week, no credit card. After that, plans are sized by the number of journeys you monitor — pages and health checks scale with them.
Every journey, API monitor, visual diff, and alert channel unlocked on your own site. No credit card.

See user-flow plansAnswers to common questions about NorthDuty and website monitoring.
An uptime tool tells you the server answered. It cannot tell you the payment step started throwing an error, because it never reaches the payment step. NorthDuty runs the flow itself — add to cart, checkout, signup, login — in a real browser, and reports which step failed. Use an uptime tool if you only need to know an endpoint responds; use NorthDuty when a silent break in a flow costs you money.
No. NorthDuty runs Playwright and Chromium behind the scenes, but you never touch them. It suggests 2-5 journeys for a new project, and custom flows are described in plain text.
Yes, and there is no plugin to install — NorthDuty drives the site from the outside in a real browser. That is also why it catches the WordPress failure mode that hurts most: an update that leaves the site up and responding while checkout, login, or a form quietly stops working.
The trial is 7 days with every feature unlocked and no credit card. After it ends the Free plan keeps one site, 20 monitored pages, health checks every 5 minutes, one journey checked daily, and email notifications. More journeys at faster intervals, API monitors, page stability monitoring, and the full set of alert channels start on Starter.
NorthDuty is intended for sites, flows, and services you own, operate, or are authorized to test. For authenticated or transactional journeys, use test-safe accounts and inputs, and keep secrets, payment data, and other sensitive data out of URLs, journey steps, reports, and alerts.
Enter your URL and NorthDuty starts checking the flows your revenue depends on — checkout, signup, login — and tells you the moment one breaks.
