UptimeRobot gives 50 monitors away free, and paid plans start at €10 a month on the euro price list. People leave for a missing check type, more logins, text alerts that renew, or data kept in the EU.
Each tool below is matched to the gap it closes. Prices come from the vendors' own pages, with sources and check dates at the foot of the page.
Why people leave UptimeRobot
- Free plan checks — every 5 minutes from one region, with no SSL or DNS checks.
- Logins — Solo has no extra login seats. Team includes 3; each extra seat costs from $15 a month billed yearly, or from $19 monthly.
- Text alerts — paid plans include a small one-time allowance (30 credits on Team). More come in packs that do not renew, from 10 for $3 to 1,000 for $100. A voice call uses 2 credits.
- Check types — no multi-step transaction, page speed, real-user, server, blacklist or malware monitoring.
- Data location — its DPA allows processing in the US, the EU and other jurisdictions.
- Trying paid features — no trial of paid plans, only a 14-day money-back guarantee.
UptimeRobot is still shipping: 30-second checks start on Team at €35 a month billed yearly, and third-party service monitoring is new on paid plans. If none of the points above affects you, stay.
What to check before switching
- Check types — what you need to monitor that you can't yet: checkout flows, page speed, servers, cron jobs.
- Interval — UptimeRobot Team checks every 30 seconds; several tools below stop at one check a minute.
- People — count everyone who needs a login, not only alert recipients.
- Text alerts — credits that renew each month, or bought once.
- Status pages — included in the plan, or sold separately.
- Data location — where results and account data are stored.
- Moving monitors — whether the vendor imports from UptimeRobot or moves them for you.

UptimeRobot alternatives compared
Uptimia wrote this page, and Uptimia is our product, so it is listed first. The other tools are not ranked: their order is not a verdict on which is better. The evidence section at the bottom gives the source and check date for each competitor figure we cite.
1. Uptimia
uptimia.com
- What it is
- Website, transaction, page-speed, real-user and server monitoring in one plan, with data stored in the EU.
- Check types
- Website (HTTP), Keyword, Ping, Port, UDP, Cron jobs (heartbeat), API, Multi-step API, DNS, SSL certificate, Domain expiry, Browser transactions, Page speed, Real user monitoring, Server agent, Blacklist, Malware, Status pages

Uptimia sells the check types UptimeRobot leaves out: multi-step transaction checks that log in or go through checkout, page speed, real-user monitoring, server monitoring, and blacklist and malware checks. Plans also include HTTP, keyword, ping, port, heartbeat, DNS, SSL and domain checks.
- Professional — eleven people (the account owner plus 10 team members) and 100 monitors at 30-second checks, for $39 a month billed yearly or $45 monthly, with 150 text alerts a month.
- EU data — monitoring results and account data are stored in data centres in France and Germany.
- Alerts — email, SMS, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, Telegram, WhatsApp, PagerDuty and webhooks.
Basic is $10 a month, or $9 billed yearly, for 10 monitors at 1-minute checks. Enterprise is $229, or $199 billed yearly, for 1,000 monitors and the account owner plus 100 team members. There is no import button for UptimeRobot yet: email your monitor list to support@uptimia.com and we recreate it for you.
2. StatusCake
statuscake.com
- What it is
- External monitoring for websites, APIs, SSL certificates, domains, page speed and servers, with status pages sold as a separate product.
- Check types
- Website (HTTP), Keyword, Ping, Port, Cron jobs (heartbeat), DNS, SSL certificate, Domain expiry, Page speed, Server agent, Blacklist
- Free plan
- 10 monitors, checks every 5 minutes

StatusCake is run by TrafficCake Limited in the UK. Unlike UptimeRobot's one-time packs, its SMS credits renew every month: 75 on Superior and 400 on Business.
- Superior — €19.99 a month, or €16.66 billed yearly: 100 uptime monitors at 1-minute checks, 15 page speed monitors, 3 server monitors and white-label reports. The pricing page adds 1 extra team member, but the sub-accounts page says sub accounts are Business only.
- Business — €69.99, or €58.33 billed yearly: 300 monitors at 30-second checks, 10 logins and an audit log.
- Free — no SMS credits. One StatusCake landing page lists fewer free monitors than the pricing page.
Checks run from 43 locations in 30 countries; paid plans choose their own. Status pages cost from €13.95 a month. StatusCake's uptime page keeps detailed results for up to a month, although an older retention page lists overview data for up to 6 years on its top legacy tier. There is no automated import from UptimeRobot, but StatusCake says it may help buy out the rest of an UptimeRobot contract, case by case. The 7-day trial needs no card.
3. Uptrends
uptrends.com
- What it is
- Synthetic monitoring for websites, APIs and multi-step browser transactions, with real-user monitoring as an add-on and public status pages.
- Check types
- Website (HTTP), Keyword, Ping, Port, DNS, SSL certificate, API, Multi-step API, Browser transactions, Page speed, Real user monitoring, Status pages
- Free plan
- None

- $42 a month, billed yearly

Uptrends, part of the London-based ITRS Group since 2020, suits sites whose pages load but then break: Pro adds multi-step transaction monitors, recorded in Chrome or Edge, and chained API checks. UptimeRobot offers neither.
- Core — from $42 a month billed yearly ($46 monthly) for one uptime monitor; each further monitor adds to the bill. 10 users, uptime checks every 2 minutes from US and EU regions, browser checks, 10 status pages, 240 SMS credits and 180 days of summary statistics.
- Pro — from $60 billed yearly ($66 monthly), again for one uptime monitor: 25 users, 1-minute checks from 230+ checkpoints, transaction and API monitors, unlimited status pages, 600 SMS credits and 365 days of summary statistics.
- Alerting — errors are double-checked before an alert goes out, with escalation levels. Phone alerts exist, but Uptrends does not say which current plan includes them.
Pricing uses monitoring credits that represent a year of capacity; monthly billing costs 10% more. Individual check results are kept for at most 90 days on any plan; the longer figures above cover trend metrics and summaries only. Core's 2-minute interval is slower than UptimeRobot Team's 30 seconds, and real-user monitoring is an add-on. The 30-day trial opens with full Enterprise access, needs no card and does not charge when it ends.
4. Site24x7
site24x7.com
- What it is
- Website, synthetic, real-user, server, cloud and network monitoring from Zoho's ManageEngine division, with hosted status pages.
- Check types
- Website (HTTP), Keyword, Ping, Port, UDP, Cron jobs (heartbeat), API, Multi-step API, DNS, SSL certificate, Domain expiry, Browser transactions, Page speed, Real user monitoring, Server agent, Blacklist, Malware, Status pages, Logs, APM / tracing, Network devices
- Free plan
- 50 monitors (another Site24x7 page says 5)
- Paid plans from
- $9 a month, billed yearly
- Fastest check
- 10 seconds
- Prices checked
- 8–12 Oct 2026
Site24x7's draw is range: transaction, real-user, server and network monitoring from one vendor, and every web plan keeps data for years. Logins are less clear: the pricing page lists role-based access for several users on Web Uptime and Web Perf, but marks multi-user support as not available below Enterprise Plus Web. Confirm with Site24x7 before your team moves off a shared UptimeRobot login.
- Web Uptime — $10 a month, or $9 billed yearly, for 25 websites at 1-minute checks, 3 status pages and 2 years of data.
- Web Perf — $39, or $36 billed yearly: 40 websites, 8 transaction monitors, 100,000 real-user page views, 10 status pages and 3 years of data.
- Free — HTTP, SSL and ping checks, email alerts and 1 status page. Site24x7's website-monitoring page lists fewer free monitors than the pricing page.
Site24x7 has 130+ monitoring locations, but Web Uptime polls from its primary location only; Web Perf uses 8 and Enterprise Plus Web 16. A 30-second interval uses two licences per website, and the plan table lists checks as often as every 10 seconds on Enterprise Plus Web. Server, application, log and network monitoring are separate infrastructure plans, from $10 a month for 2 servers. EU customer data is stored in Amsterdam, with a backup in Dublin. Zoho, which runs Site24x7 through its ManageEngine division, has renamed its wider observability suite OpManager Nexus; Site24x7 continues as the website monitoring product, with prices unchanged. The 30-day trial needs no card.
5. Uptime.com

Uptime.com, a US company founded in 2013, prices by number of checks.

- UserView — multi-step transactions in a real browser, scripted with the EveryStep recorder.
- Private agents — run checks from inside your own network on paid plans.
The Subscription plan uses 25 locations and keeps a year of data; Enterprise, priced by quote, adds Premium Locations and keeps data longer. Texts and phone calls are billed per message, $0.15 each worldwide, on top of the subscription. The free plan checks from 2 locations, with email alerts and 21 days of data. The 30-day trial needs no card, and changes are prorated with no long-term contract.

cronitor.io
- What it is
- Monitoring for cron jobs, background workers, heartbeats, websites and APIs, with real-user monitoring and status pages.

- Business — $2 a month per monitor plus $5 per user, with no base fee: SMS and on-call alerts, 12 months of data and 11 alert integrations.
- Hacker (free) — email and Slack alerts, no SMS.
- Checks — HTTP, TCP, UDP and browser checks that run JavaScript in Chrome, with assertions on status code, content, response time and certificate expiry.
A failure is verified from a second region, out of 11. Browser checks cost $1 per 1,000 runs, and real-user analytics $10 per 100,000 events. Per-monitor pricing favours small setups. There are no ping or DNS checks. A hosted MCP server lets AI tools manage the account. The trial lasts 14 days.

Pingdom covers checks UptimeRobot does not sell: browser transactions, page speed tests and, as a separate product, real-user monitoring. Its owner, SolarWinds, was taken private by Turn/River Capital in April 2025.
- Synthetic, 10 checks — $18 a month, or $16.50 billed yearly, with 1 advanced check and 50 SMS credits.
- Synthetic, 100 checks — $149 a month, with 20 advanced checks and 350 SMS credits.
- Every plan — unlimited users, one public status page per organisation, and transaction and page speed monitoring.
SolarWinds is moving Pingdom accounts to SolarWinds Observability SaaS over 30 to 60 days. After the move the Pingdom account becomes read-only and history does not move over. In SolarWinds Observability, text alerts work on paid plans for websites, URIs and synthetic transactions, with credits set by the number of bundles bought; until the move, Pingdom's SMS credits refill on the 1st of each month. Uptime checks run once a minute at the fastest from 100+ probe servers, transactions every 5 minutes and page speed tests every 30. There is no heartbeat or domain-expiry check, so cron jobs need another tool. Real-user monitoring starts at $18 a month for 100,000 pageviews. The 30-day trial includes synthetic checks and real-user monitoring.
