Bottom line

UptimeRobot is the market leader with 3+ million users. If you need 50 free monitors for personal projects, it's still the biggest free tier. But if you're monitoring commercial sites, OpenPing gives you more features at a lower price — $5/mo for 50 monitors vs $7/mo for 10. And our free plan allows commercial use.
