15 Best StatusCake Alternatives In 2026

Uptimia puts uptime, speed, transaction, real-user, server and security checks in one account, with status pages in every plan. It suits anything from a small website to a large company.

Main Features:

• Uptime monitoring for HTTP, HTTPS, Ping, Keywords, TCP, UDP, DNS, SMTP, POP3 and IMAP, as often as every 30 seconds on Professional and Enterprise.
• Speed monitoring.
• SSL certificate expiration and health monitoring and domain expiration monitoring.
• Multiple-step transaction monitoring for logins, sign-ups and checkouts.
• Real user monitoring.
• API monitoring, heartbeat monitoring for cron jobs and server monitoring.
• Public status pages.
• Security monitoring for malware, outdated software and weak TLS, and blacklist monitoring for domains and IPs.
• Alerts by email, SMS, WhatsApp, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, Telegram, PagerDuty and webhooks.

Why is Uptimia better than StatusCake?

1. Status pages in the plan: Basic includes one public status page and Professional 10. StatusCake sells its full status pages (StatusCake Pages) as a separate product. Its monitoring plans get only a public reporting page with 7 days of uptime history.
2. Multiple-step transaction monitoring: every paid plan checks sign-in or checkout forms step by step in a real browser. StatusCake's login test sends form data in one POST request and checks the page that comes back; it does not list multi-step browser transactions.
3. Real user monitoring: Basic includes 150,000 real-user pageviews. StatusCake does not sell real user monitoring.
4. Virus monitoring: alerts when a website is infected with malware or viruses. StatusCake's pricing page does not list malware checks.
5. Longer detailed history: Basic keeps 90 days of monitoring data and Professional 365 days. StatusCake's uptime feature page says it keeps uptime test results for up to a month. An older StatusCake retention page lists 30 to 60 days of detailed data and up to 6 years of overview data on legacy tiers, and its reporting page keeps downtime history back to the creation of the test.
6. Cheaper for teams: Professional costs €45 a month, or €39 a month billed yearly, and adds 10 team members to the account owner, with 5 user roles. StatusCake Business, which adds 9 team members to the account owner, costs €69.99 a month, or €58.33 a month billed yearly.
