Same nine. Six times the attention.

UptimeRobot Solo is $9 for 50 monitors checked every 60 seconds. up4 Team is €9 for up to 100 monitors with a 20-million-check monthly budget. A single-region monitor at 10 seconds uses 259,200 checks in a 30-day month, so that budget covers about 77 running continuously at that cadence. Every additional region counts again. And if you are on their free plan: your whole fleet at the same five-minute cadence is €3.89 a month here.

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 price of knowing nobody retires your fleet.

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.

12,960,000 checks × €9 / million€116.64

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 twelve more 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 and receive incident updates.

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 a trial with every released feature and €3 of real credit, no card required. Its runway depends on usage and the monthly minimum. 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 — but 10 seconds is an available interval, not an unlimited allowance. Pay as you go meters every execution and supports up to 50 monitors. Team supports up to 100 monitors and 20 million checks a month; Agency up to 500 monitors and 66 million checks. One single-region monitor at 10 seconds uses 259,200 checks in a 30-day month, and every additional region counts again. At 100% of a flat plan’s check budget, you cannot create or resume monitors, shorten intervals or add regions until the next UTC calendar month or an upgrade. Monitors already active keep their current cadence; no overage is charged.
What about my status page?
Status pages are included on every plan, with subscriber notifications, translations and white-label. Publish on a stable up4 URL, or point your own domain at it — we verify DNS and issue the certificate. Team includes one custom domain, Agency ten; on pay as you go you add them from the wallet for €2 a month each.
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?
First a 7-day grace mode: every monitor keeps running at a 5-minute cadence, free, with alerts and status pages live. Only then do monitors pause — and everything 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.
