The monitor can be any type: a URL, an API endpoint with headers, a port, a DNS record, a host to ping, a certificate, a domain, or a cron job's heartbeat. The page draws every check with its response time and every failure with its reason, the same strip the paid plans get, and an incident opens on the page by itself when the monitor goes down.
What it leaves out
One monitor, so a site and its API need Hobby ($4 a month, 10 monitors, checks every minute, 90 days of history). Checks every 5 minutes rather than every minute, so the first failed check comes within five minutes and the outage counts, and alerts, on the second. 7 days of history rather than 90 or a year. Alerts by email only; Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, Telegram, PagerDuty, Opsgenie, Pushover, ntfy and webhooks are on the paid plans, as are subscribers, a password on the page, and your own domain. The pricing page has every row.
Free with no limits
The core of StatOSS is open source under MIT. Run the standalone on your own server and there is no limit on pages or monitors, checks run every minute, and alerts go to email, Slack, Discord and a webhook through your own SMTP server. The standalone checks from its own server alone and has no dashboard, and the server is yours to keep up. The self-hosting guide has the steps.
Other free tiers
Some competitors' free tiers hold more monitors: UptimeRobot holds fifty at five-minute checks, Instatus fifteen, Better Stack ten. Ours holds one, and stores every check on it for the strip rather than a daily square. The comparisons list the free tiers side by side.
