Same nine. Six times the attention.

UptimeRobot Solo is $9 for 50 monitors checked every 60 seconds. up4 Team is €9 for 100 monitors with a 20-million-check monthly budget — enough to run the monitors that matter at 10 seconds — EU-hosted, unlimited seats, custom domain and SSL included. And if you are on their free plan: the reason to pay at all is the blind spot. Five-minute checks miss short outages entirely, and free tiers have a habit of being retired. Your whole fleet, same cadence, is €3.89 a month here — and tightening any monitor is a slider, not a sales call.

Worked examples

Three UptimeRobot fleets, repriced on the meter.

A 30-day month has 2,592,000 seconds; the meter is €9 per million checks with a €3 minimum. When a flat plan would be cheaper, the receipt says so — the switch itself is monthly, in both directions, and stays your click. Full formula on the pricing page.

The free fleet · 50 monitors · every 5 min
432,000 checks × €9 / million€3.89
same cadence you have today—
total / month€3.89

The price of knowing nobody retires your fleet.

The Solo fleet · 50 monitors · every 60 s
2,160,000 checks × €9 / million€19.44
our recommendation: Team, 100 monitors€9.00
with the Team plan€9.00

Solo money, twice the monitors — and seats for the whole team.

The upgrade they gate · 50 monitors · every 10 s
12,960,000 checks × €9 / million€116.64
fits Team’s 20-million budget€9.00
with the Team plan€9.00

Their price for 10-second checks: Enterprise, from $69.

The cost preview in the product makes the same recommendation — it argues for the flat plan the moment the flat plan wins. The switch itself stays yours.

Cadence, in practice

A sixty-second gap is where outages nap.

Every dot is one check across a five-minute window. Between two checks, nothing is watching. The gap is the product.

up4 every 10 s · 30 checks
UptimeRobot Solo every 60 s · 5 checks
UptimeRobot Free every 5 min · 1 check
0:002:305:00

A five-minute outage is 30 chances to catch it — or one. Curious what that feels like? Start an outage yourself and watch the three cadences race to notice.

Migration

Move in an afternoon. A short one.

01

Paste your URLs

Copy your monitor list out of UptimeRobot, paste it into the batch import. Every line becomes a monitor.

02

Wire the alerts

Connect Slack, email, PagerDuty or nine other channels; group them into alert plans per project.

03

Publish the status page

Pick the monitors, choose a slug, done. Subscribers move with a CSV; custom domain when you want it.

04

Tighten the screws

Drop your critical monitors from 60 to 10 seconds. The cost preview shows the difference before you commit.

FAQ

Switching questions, answered plainly

Can I bring my UptimeRobot monitors over?
Yes. Export or copy your monitor list, paste it into the batch import, and every line becomes a monitor — intervals, alert channels and a status page follow in minutes. Fifty monitors move in well under an afternoon.
Is there a free plan like UptimeRobot’s?
No — deliberately. A free plan is paid for by someone, and monitoring should not have a quiet funding problem. Instead you get 15 trial days with everything unlocked and €3 of real credit, no card. After that, a typical free-plan fleet — 50 monitors at the same 5-minute cadence — costs €3.89 a month. The free monitoring page shows the whole argument.
Do I really get 10-second checks?
Yes. On pay as you go every check is simply metered — set any monitor to 10 seconds and the cost preview shows the price before you save. Flat plans draw from an included check budget (Team 20 million a month, Agency 66 million); 10-second checks just spend it faster. At 100% nothing breaks and nothing is billed on top — your monitors keep running, you just cannot add load until the month resets or you upgrade.
What about my status page?
Status pages are included on every plan, with subscriber notifications. Custom domains and SSL are included from the Team plan up — not sold back to you as an add-on.
Where do your checks come from?
German infrastructure in the EU, from published egress IPs with an honest user agent — see where checks come from. A signed DPA is available for your client contracts on the data processing page.
What happens to my data if I stop paying?
Your monitors pause and everything else waits: configuration, history, status pages. Nothing is deleted and nobody runs a dunning sequence. Top up or restart the plan, and checks resume where they left off.

Same nine, rather more monitoring.
