## 1. Hyperping

Best for: Small teams that want checks, alerts and a status page in one plan. Hyperping suits small teams that want 30-second checks, on-call schedules and a branded status page at about $24 a month. Alerts reach SMS, phone, Slack, Teams, webhooks and PagerDuty. The catch is that Hyperping holds no SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification of its own, and browser checks run only every 5 minutes.

## 2. Better Stack Uptime

Best for: Small engineering teams that want monitoring, on-call and incident alerts in one tool. Better Stack Uptime suits small teams that want fast checks, on-call scheduling and phone and SMS alerts in one product. One licence includes unlimited phone and SMS alerts, Slack and Teams alerts, and one status page. The catch: each person who needs Uptime access needs a paid licence, and more status pages and monitors cost extra.

## 3. NodePing

Best for: Teams that need many monitors and check types at a flat monthly price. NodePing suits teams that want a wide range of check types and many monitors at one flat price. Professional is $25 a month for 200 monitors. The catch: no free plan is listed, no multi-step or browser checks are listed, billing is monthly, and the cheaper Personal plan lacks Slack, PagerDuty, webhooks and the API.

## 4. Oh Dear

Best for: Agencies and teams that watch many client sites. Oh Dear suits agencies and teams with many sites, because every feature, user and status page is included and only the site count sets the price. The catch is cost: 10 sites run about $46 a month, 50 sites about $138, and there is no free plan, SLA or SOC 2 report.

## 5. HetrixTools

Best for: Small teams that want many monitors and phone or SMS alerts at a low price. HetrixTools suits small teams that want a lot of monitors for little money, with SMS and phone alerts and a status page included. Professional is $99.95 a year for 30 monitors. The catch: the fastest check is one minute on every plan, Professional includes only one sub-account, and the terms give no uptime guarantee.

## 6. UptimeRobot

Best for: Small sites that want many free monitors and cheap one-minute checks. UptimeRobot suits small sites and freelancers who want a large free plan and cheap one-minute checks. Solo covers the main check types, SSL alerts, heartbeats and a status page on your own domain. The catch: Solo has no team logins, webhooks or PagerDuty, and the page does not name a SOC 2 Type II report or SAML sign-in.

## 7. OnlineOrNot

Best for: Small product teams that want browser checks and status pages in one plan. OnlineOrNot suits small teams that want fast checks, heartbeat monitoring, browser checks and a branded status page without paying per seat. Pro starts at $15 a month, or $12.50 with a year paid up front. The catch: the free plan is small at 3 monitors, there are only 6 check regions, and the vendor's pages list no phone-call alerts, SAML single sign-on or security certification.

## 8. Checkly

Best for: Developer teams that want checks defined in code. Checkly suits developers who want browser and API checks alongside plain uptime monitors, and a free plan with 10 monitors. Starter costs $24 a month for 50 monitors with 1-minute checks. The catch is that status pages are a separate product, 30-second checks cost more, and SSO and the SLA are Enterprise only.

## 9. StatusCake

Best for: Small sites that want one-minute checks from many locations at a low price. StatusCake suits small sites that want fast checks from many places at a low price. Superior covers the main check types, heartbeats, SSL expiry alerts and all six alert channels. The catch: status pages are sold separately, Superior lists one team member, and no multi-step checks are listed.

## 10. Uptrends

Best for: Small teams that want browser checks and many alert channels and can pay from $42 a month. Uptrends suits small teams that want real-browser checks, a full set of alert channels and ISO 27001 from $42 a month. The catch is price and speed: Core checks every 2 minutes, there is no free plan, and the monitor count is set by credits the pricing page does not state. SAML single sign-on is limited to the quote-only Enterprise plan.
