Since November 2024, UptimeRobot's free plan is for personal use only. If you're monitoring commercial sites, you need either their $7/mo plan — or something better. OpenPing gives you a free tier that actually works for business, and a $5/mo upgrade that beats UptimeRobot's Solo plan.

UptimeRobot's free plan explicitly prohibits commercial use. Their Solo plan starts at $7/mo but only gives you 10 monitors. OpenPing's free plan allows commercial use with 25 monitors, and our $5/mo Pro plan gives you 50 monitors with 1-minute intervals. You get more for less.
Monitor your business, client sites, and SaaS products without paying. We don't restrict free plans by use case.
$5/mo vs $7/mo for the same features. 50 monitors, 1-minute checks, all alert channels. No tricks.
Our status pages look modern out of the box. No tweaking needed. Custom domains on Pro.
UptimeRobot changed their terms retroactively. We won't do that. Our pricing is our pricing.
No credit card. No commercial restrictions. Just monitoring.
