--- title: HetrixTools canonical: https://saasranked.com/software/hetrixtools/ category: Uptime Monitoring Software points: 66 rank: 5 of 10 facts_checked: 2026-10-09 --- # HetrixTools Low-priced uptime monitor with 15 free monitors, one-minute checks and status pages on every plan. 66 points out of 100. #5 of 10 uptime monitoring services. Vendor: HetrixTools. Website: https://hetrixtools.com/ - The free plan has 15 uptime monitors with checks every minute [1]. - Professional costs $99.95 a year (about $8.33 a month) for 30 monitors [1]. - Every plan checks once a minute, from 4 to 12 locations depending on the plan [1]. - Alerts reach SMS, phone calls, Slack, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty and webhooks [3]. - Public status pages are included on every plan, and you can serve them on your own domain [1][7]. Verdict: HetrixTools suits small teams that want a lot of monitors for little money, with SMS and phone alerts and a status page included [1][3]. Professional is $99.95 a year for 30 monitors [1]. The catch: the fastest check is one minute on every plan, Professional includes only one sub-account, and the terms give no uptime guarantee [1][8]. Best for: Small teams that want many monitors and phone or SMS alerts at a low price. ## Points | Criterion | Line | Value | Points | Note | |---|---|---|---|---| | Monitoring | Fastest check on the entry plan | 60 | 8/10 | Every plan lists checks 'Every minute'; no faster interval is shown [1]. | | Monitoring | Check types | Ping, TCP port, Keyword or response check | 6/8 | Ping and any-port checks are one monitor type; keyword matching is on the website monitor.
