Uptimia Professional covers a team of ten with 30-second checks, browser checkout tests and real-user monitoring for $39 a month. StatusCake needs Business at ≈$66.23 a month for that team and interval, and has no real-user monitoring. Both billed yearly.
Uptimia costs less for one or two people with up to 10 monitors, and once you need 30-second checks or a third person. At 1-minute checks StatusCake costs less for more than 10 and up to 100 monitors. Past 100 monitors, up to 300, StatusCake Business costs less.
For the same setup, StatusCake costs $66 a month and Uptimia $39.
Start free trial →StatusCake prices are in euros; the dollar view is an estimate at the ECB rate of 29 Sep 2026. A StatusCake landing page lists Superior at $24.49 a month to US buyers, billed monthly.
StatusCake tests a login by posting form data to one URL. Uptimia clicks through login or checkout in a real browser and adds real-user monitoring, which StatusCake does not have.
On StatusCake, 30-second checks or more than 2 logins need Business. Uptimia Professional covers eleven people at that interval for less.
Both re-check a failure before alerting. Uptimia's alert also carries a screenshot, headers and traceroute; StatusCake's downtime detail lists status codes, ping and test locations.
Uptimia Professional against StatusCake Business, prices billed yearly. Uptimia leads on 10 rows, StatusCake on 4, 11 are level.

Weighing more than two tools? StatusCake alternatives
For a team that needs 30-second checks or browser tests, yes. 100 monitors with ten people cost $39 a month on Uptimia and ≈$66.23 on StatusCake Business, billed annually, and Uptimia adds real-user monitoring and status pages.
At 1-minute checks with more than 10 monitors, Superior covers 100 for ≈$18.92 a month billed yearly, against Uptimia Professional at $39. Above 100 monitors, up to 300, Business costs less too.
Uptimia Basic costs less for one or two people with up to 10 monitors, and a third person or 30-second checks move you to StatusCake Business, which costs more than Uptimia Professional. StatusCake's pricing page includes a second login on Superior, but its sub-accounts page says Business only.
Only a simple public page with 7 days of uptime, on plans StatusCake does not name. StatusCake Pages, with subscribers, is a separate subscription from ≈$13.21 a month billed yearly, and a password needs Silver at ≈$41.59; Uptimia Professional includes 10 with both.
StatusCake's guide posts form data to the login URL and checks the reply for a phrase and the final URL; no browser runs the page, so a JavaScript login or multi-page checkout is out of reach. Uptimia replays the steps in a real browser and saves a screenshot of the failed step.
Uptimia stores customer data, monitoring results and billing records in EU data centres. StatusCake is a UK company whose data processing agreement says personal data may be processed outside the UK or EEA, on DigitalOcean, Google Cloud and AWS.
