UptimeRobot's free plan covers 50 monitors from a single region at 5-minute checks, with email and SMS alerts and basic integrations. Multi-region probes, 60-second checks, DNS, UDP and API checks, SSL and domain-expiry monitoring, Slack, webhook and PagerDuty alerts, full-featured status pages and team seats are all paid-tier features.
UptimeRobot is a hosted service, not open-source or self-hostable. Its Terraform provider ships from its own GitHub organization though it carries the registry's community badge, and it added a hosted MCP server.
Verified against uptimerobot.com/pricing in July 2026. SaaS plans change, so check their current pricing before you decide.
Monitoring and status page in one
Checks and a public status page are the same product here, not an add-on. Flip any monitor public and it lands on your subdomain with a 90-day history.
Checks that explain themselves
HTTP, TCP, DNS, TLS, domain, ping, heartbeat and flow, every minute. When something is slow, the timing is split across DNS, connect, TLS and time-to-first-byte, so you see why, not just that.
Alerts tuned for humans
Per-monitor Slack, Telegram, PagerDuty, SMS, email and webhook channels with dedupe and flap-suppression, so a brief outage doesn’t page anyone.
Where Uptimepage fits
Everything on this page is one product and one account: HTTP, TCP, DNS, TLS, domain, ping, heartbeat and browser-flow checks every 60 seconds, a branded status page on your own subdomain, and incidents that open themselves when a check fails. Teammates get their own logins with roles, customers subscribe by confirmed email or signed webhook, and the whole configuration can live in Git through a Terraform provider, a REST API and an MCP server. Hosted free with no card, or self-hosted under AGPL when you would rather hold the data yourself.
