We're excited to announce the Snapit SaaS Zoo Suite - a collection of 17+ free, professional web tools designed for developers, marketers, and businesses. Each tool is named after an animal that represents its purpose and personality.

Why Animal Names?

Each animal was chosen to represent the core purpose of its tool. Cheetahs are fast - perfect for QR codes. Tigers are powerful - perfect for HTTP status checking. Unicorns are magical - perfect for transforming long URLs into short ones.

All Free, No Catch

Every tool in the Snapit SaaS Zoo Suite has a generous free tier. We believe essential web tools should be accessible to everyone. Premium features are available for power users, but the free tier covers 90% of typical use cases.

Today we're launching Status Tiger, a professional status page and incident communication platform. Whether you're a solo developer or an enterprise team, Status Tiger helps you keep your users informed about service availability.

Pricing That Makes Sense

Our pricing starts at $3.99/month for the Starter tier, going up to $299.99/month for Scale. Compare that to Statuspage.io (Atlassian) which starts at $79/month. We believe professional status pages shouldn't cost a fortune.

A look at the infrastructure powering the Snapit SaaS Zoo Suite. We prioritize speed, reliability, and cost efficiency.

Why Serverless?

Serverless architecture lets us scale to zero when there's no traffic and handle millions of requests when needed. This means we can offer generous free tiers without going broke on infrastructure costs.

Performance First

Every tool is designed to load in under 2 seconds. We use aggressive caching, lazy loading, and minimize JavaScript bundles. The result? Tools that feel instant, even on slow connections.

Authentication

We use Google OAuth for authentication across all tools. One login works everywhere. For apps that need it, we also support email/password auth with secure PBKDF2 password hashing.

How we organize 17+ web tools into a coherent ecosystem that helps users find exactly what they need.

Brand Hubs

Each major tool category has a "hub" - a comprehensive tool that does everything. HTTP Tiger is the hub for network monitoring. QR Cheetah is the hub for QR codes. Fox Forms is the hub for form building.

SEO Snipers

Supporting each hub are focused "sniper" sites that target specific use cases:

• checkstatus.app targets "website status checker" and funnels to Status Tiger
• is-it-down.app targets "is website down" and funnels to HTTP Tiger
• short-links.app targets "short link generator" and funnels to URL Unicorn

Why This Works

Users searching for "website status checker" have different intent than those searching for "HTTP status code reference". By having focused tools for each intent, we provide better experiences and rank higher in search. Everyone wins.
