UptimeRobot alternative: monitoring that goes deeper than uptime
UptimeRobot is the tool most people try first, and its free plan is genuinely generous. But once you need paid features — or you want to watch more than a URL returning a 200 — the comparison changes. SiteFlux covers uptime, SSL, servers, SEO and e-commerce flows in one dashboard, with paid plans from €2.99/month.
Starter: 20 monitors, 2 check locations, 5-minute checks

Why teams choose SiteFlux over UptimeRobot
More than just uptime
A 200 status doesn't mean your checkout works or your certificate renews. SiteFlux monitors servers over SSH, on-page SEO health and real e-commerce cart flows — in the same place as your uptime checks.
Priced for small teams
€2.99/month for 20 monitors on 2 locations, or €9.99 for 50 monitors at 1-minute intervals. If you're paying for uptime monitoring today, chances are you're paying 2–5x more for a subset of these checks.
Alerts that reach you
Email, Telegram, Slack, SMS, webhooks and — on the Enterprise plan — automated phone calls with escalation delays, silent hours and per-severity rules.
Frequently asked questions
Does SiteFlux have a free plan like UptimeRobot?+
Yes. The free plan includes 3 monitors checked every 10 minutes from 1 location, email alerts, SSL monitoring and one status page. Every new account also gets a 7-day trial of paid features, no credit card required.
Can I migrate my monitors from UptimeRobot?+
Recreating monitors takes a few minutes since UptimeRobot exports URLs and intervals. There's no lock-in on either side, so you can run both tools in parallel during the 7-day trial and switch when you're satisfied.
How do you avoid false positives?+
Outages are verified from multiple independent locations before an alert fires. From the Starter plan every check runs in 2 locations, Business in 3, and Enterprise in all of them — a single network hiccup in one data center won't page your team.
What alert channels are supported?+
Email, Telegram, SMS, Slack, generic webhooks with secrets, and automated phone calls on the Enterprise plan. Alerts support escalation levels (immediate, +5 min, +15 min) and silent hours.
