UptimeRobot review

UptimeRobot is the easiest way to watch a lot of endpoints without spending anything. The free plan covers 50 monitors at 5-minute intervals, allows commercial projects and needs no credit card, and it already includes keyword, port, ping, UDP, DNS and API checks plus basic status pages. Paid tiers are sold as Solo, Team and Scale. Solo moves checks to every 60 seconds and adds SSL and DNS monitoring, three status pages on your own domain and 12 months of data retention. Team cuts the interval to 30 seconds, adds three login seats, white-label status pages and Webhook, Zapier and PagerDuty integrations, and Scale reaches 15-second checks. It also monitors third-party services you rely on and offers a mobile app, API, CLI and MCP server. It ranks below Better Stack because on-call scheduling is lighter and SMS or voice alerts are bought as credits. The pricing page here showed euros, so the USD price is pending.

Who it is for

Freelancers, indie developers and small businesses that need many basic checks for little money.
