uptime monitoring service · OnlineOrNot
OnlineOrNot
Uptime, cron job and browser-check monitoring with 30-second checks, unlimited team members and a status page on the Pro plan.
In short
- Pro costs $15 a month ($12.50 a month with a full year, two months free) and includes 10 uptime monitors with 30-second checks1.
- Extra monitors cost $10 per 25 more, so 60 monitors cost $35 a month at the monthly price1.
- Pro includes unlimited team members, a status page with a custom domain, and 3,000 browser check runs a month1.
- The free Hobby plan covers 3 monitors, checked every 3 minutes, with 2 users1,2.
- Checks run from 6 regions: US East, US West, Europe, India, Australia and Japan3.
OnlineOrNot suits small teams that want fast checks, heartbeat monitoring, browser checks and a branded status page without paying per seat1. Pro starts at $15 a month, or $12.50 with a year paid up front1. 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 certification1,9,14.
Best for: Small product teams that want browser checks and status pages in one plan.
