Why teams choose SiteFlux over StatusCake
No agents to install
SiteFlux reads CPU, memory, disk, load and network stats straight over SSH — Linux or Windows. Nothing to deploy, nothing to update on your servers, nothing that breaks your next OS migration.
One dashboard, one bill
Uptime, SSL, servers, SEO and e-commerce flows live in the same place with the same alert rules. No separate products, no add-on pricing, no 'contact sales' for features.
Transparent low pricing
€2.99 for 20 monitors, €9.99 for 50 at 1-minute intervals with SMS included, €29.99 for 200 at 30-second intervals with phone calls. Simple math, published prices, cancel anytime.
Frequently asked questions
How does agentless SSH monitoring work?+
You provide host, port and credentials (stored encrypted). On every check SiteFlux opens an SSH session and collects system metrics — no agent, no daemon, no installation on the server.
What's in the free plan?+
3 monitors checked every 10 minutes from 1 location, email alerts, SSL monitoring, one status page and 14-day history. Paid features are free for 7 days on trial, no credit card required.
Can StatusCake users keep their data?+
Uptime history can be re-established by running both tools in parallel for a few days — and your monitoring URLs import in minutes. CSV export on SiteFlux means you keep your data going forward.
Do you support keyword content checks?+
Yes. Any monitor can assert that a keyword is present or absent in the response body, which is often the difference between 'server up' and 'site actually working'.
