StatusCake alternative · migration-friendly

Every up4 plan includes status pages.

Q: Why does the seat limit matter?

StatusCake Superior includes two seats; a third person needs Business at €58.33, with ten seats. Here every plan has unlimited seats, so inviting the whole team costs nothing extra.

For 100 monitors checked every minute, up4 Team costs €19 a month or €15.83 billed yearly. StatusCake Superior costs €19.99 or €16.66. A status page costs extra there, from €11.63, or €36.63 without their logo. A third user or 30-second checks require the Business plan at €58.33. up4 Team includes all of this, plus intervals down to 10 seconds.

100 monitors, checked every minute. Both columns use annual billing: StatusCake’s public EUR list prices, and up4 Team billed yearly at €15.83 a month, which includes all four options. On pay as you go and during the starting credit, a status page without our logo costs €10 per page and month.

I need monitoring: 100 monitors, every minute a public status page without the vendor’s logo (white-label) three people in the account checks faster than a minute

Public EUR list prices, checked 26 October 2026. Both columns lead with the price billed yearly. Their free plan covers 3 monitors checked every 15 minutes, so an outage can go unnoticed for almost a quarter of an hour. What that means in practice.

Migration

The move in three steps

Paste your monitors

Copy your uptime tests out of StatusCake and paste the URLs into the batch import. Every line becomes a monitor; choose an interval down to 10 seconds and review the usage preview before saving.

Set up the alerts

Slack, email, PagerDuty or any of the 16 alert channel types, with alert plans on top. up4 charges nothing per message; SMS and voice run on your own Twilio account.

Publish the status page

The status page is part of every plan. Pick the monitors, set a slug and import subscribers via CSV (after your first payment).

FAQ

Questions about switching

StatusCake has a free plan. Why would I pay you €3?

If three monitors checked every 15 minutes are enough for you, their free plan is the cheaper choice. With 15-minute checks, an outage can go unnoticed for up to a quarter of an hour. Here, the same three monitors checked every minute stay within the €3 monthly minimum. The full calculation, with a button that simulates the outage.

Why does the seat limit matter?

StatusCake Superior includes two seats; a third person needs Business at €58.33, with ten seats. Here every plan has unlimited seats, so inviting the whole team costs nothing extra.

Does a status page cost extra at StatusCake?

Yes. StatusCake Pages is a separate product: Bronze at €11.63 a month shows their branding, Silver at €36.63 removes it. At up4 every plan includes public status pages with subscribers. Removing our footer is included in Team and Agency and costs €10 per page and month on pay as you go and during the starting credit.

What StatusCake features do you not have?

Dedicated page-speed monitors with Lighthouse scores. up4 does not offer those. Expiry warnings are included: every HTTP monitor can alert you before the TLS certificate or the domain registration runs out, and a TLS failure is a failed check. If per-certificate dashboards and Lighthouse scores are the reason you buy monitoring, keep that part.

Can I bring my subscribers and history?

Subscribers move via CSV import once you have made your first payment. History does not transfer between vendors; up4 builds its own from the first check and keeps it per plan: 62 days on pay as you go, 90 on Team, 365 on Agency.

Where does up4 run?

The application and primary database run in Germany. Checks run from the regions you choose per monitor (Germany, US, Singapore, Australia), from published egress IPs. Results stay in the EU: in Germany, and after seven days in an archive in Paris. See security and data locations and the current DPA status.
