Uptimia Professional is $39 a month for checks every 30 seconds, browser checkout tests, real-user monitoring, a server agent and logins for eleven people. Uptrends Pro starts at $60 a month for 1-minute checks, and 30-second checks need an Enterprise quote. Both billed yearly.

For the same setup, Uptrends costs from $60 a month and Uptimia $39.

Weighing more than two tools? Uptrends alternatives
For a team that wants checks every 30 seconds and a predictable bill, yes. 50 monitors, ten people and 1-minute checks cost $39 a month on Uptimia Professional, billed yearly; Uptrends Pro starts at $60, and the bill is that or more.
Uptimia also includes real-user monitoring and a server agent; Uptrends sells them as an add-on and a separate product.
Core starts at $42 a month and Pro at $60, billed yearly. Monthly billing costs 10% more, and Enterprise is a custom quote.
Each monitor uses credits, browser monitors and transaction steps the most, and Uptrends publishes no price per credit.
Only on Enterprise, which has no public price. Pro runs 1-minute checks and Core 2-minute checks. Uptimia Professional checks every 30 seconds.
When more than eleven people need logins (Pro includes 25), you need checks from inside your network, or you monitor database, SFTP or FTP servers by protocol. Pro also offers 230+ checkpoints.
Uptimia stores monitoring results in EU data centres. Uptrends says it is ISO 27001 certified and GDPR compliant, but does not publish where data is stored.
