UptimeRobot

freemium From $0/mo · Founded 2010 · cloud

Most popular free uptime monitor — 50 free monitors at 5-min intervals.

Free tier: 50 monitors, 5-min checks

What it does well

  • Extremely generous free tier with 50 monitors and 5-minute check intervals.
  • Simple, intuitive interface that is very fast to set up and use.
  • Offers public status pages, even on the free plan, to communicate with users.

Where it falls short

  • The free plan is limited to 5-minute check intervals; 1-minute checks require payment.
  • Lacks advanced performance metrics and root-cause analysis tools found in other platforms.
  • Alerting integrations on the free tier are limited, with many (like SMS) costing credits.
