uptime monitoring service · HetrixTools
HetrixTools
Low-priced uptime monitor with 15 free monitors, one-minute checks and status pages on every plan.
In short
- The free plan has 15 uptime monitors with checks every minute1.
- Professional costs $99.95 a year (about $8.33 a month) for 30 monitors1.
- Every plan checks once a minute, from 4 to 12 locations depending on the plan1.
- Alerts reach SMS, phone calls, Slack, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty and webhooks3.
- Public status pages are included on every plan, and you can serve them on your own domain1,7.
HetrixTools suits small teams that want a lot of monitors for little money, with SMS and phone alerts and a status page included1,3. Professional is $99.95 a year for 30 monitors1. The catch: the fastest check is one minute on every plan, Professional includes only one sub-account, and the terms give no uptime guarantee1,8.
Best for: Small teams that want many monitors and phone or SMS alerts at a low price.
