Elastic Uptime

freemium From $0/mo · Founded 2019 · hybrid

Heartbeat + Synthetics in Elastic Stack — free if self-hosted, paid Elastic Cloud.

Free tier: Self-hosted Elastic Stack

What it does well

  • Self-hosted Basic license is free forever — uptime + synthetics included.
  • Native integration with logs, metrics, traces in the same Elastic stack.
  • Playwright-based synthetics support real browser flow testing.

Where it falls short

  • Requires running and maintaining the full Elastic Stack — high ops overhead.
  • Elastic Cloud managed option starts at $95/mo — premium pricing tier.
  • Not a standalone product — only makes sense if Elastic is already in use.
