Oh Dear

paid From $22/mo · Founded 2018 · cloud

All-in-one site health by Spatie team — uptime + SSL + broken links + sitemap monitor.

What it does well

  • Combines uptime, SSL, broken links, and cron monitoring in one package.
  • Clean, developer-friendly interface and well-documented API for integrations.
  • Built and maintained by Spatie, a trusted name in the Laravel/PHP community.

Where it falls short

  • No free tier is available; the entry price may be high for single-site owners.
  • Uptime check frequency is fixed at 1 minute, with no faster options.
  • Lacks advanced application performance monitoring (APM) features found in larger platforms.
