# Uptrends

Credit-based website monitoring with real-browser checks, 10 users and ISO 27001, from $42 a month.

55 points out of 100. #10 of 10 uptime monitoring services. Vendor: Uptrends. Website: https://www.uptrends.com/

- Core starts at $42 a month on annual billing ($46 monthly) and includes 10 users and 10 status pages [1].
- Uptime checks run every 2 minutes on Core and every 1 minute on Pro, from $60 a month [1].
- Alerts reach SMS, phone, Slack, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty and webhooks, with 240 SMS credits on Core [1][5].
- There is no free plan, only a 30-day free trial [1].
- Uptrends says it is ISO 27001 certified [6].

Verdict: Uptrends suits small teams that want real-browser checks, a full set of alert channels and ISO 27001 from $42 a month [1][5][6]. 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 [1]. SAML single sign-on is limited to the quote-only Enterprise plan [1]. Best for: Small teams that want browser checks and many alert channels and can pay from $42 a month.
