Frequently asked questions
Does Uptime have a free plan like UptimeRobot's trial?
It's better than a trial — Uptime is free forever, not for a limited time. The free plan gives you 1 monitor, with no card required and nothing that disappears if you never subscribe. A typical trial on tools like UptimeRobot, by contrast, usually expects a card up front and ends after a set number of days.
Is Uptime actually comparable to UptimeRobot?
For the everyday case, yes — Keep an eye on your site or app so you're the one who notices it's down, not the last one to find out. Uptime deliberately covers what most small businesses actually use rather than every advanced feature UptimeRobot has, which is exactly how it stays cheaper.
Why is Uptime cheaper than UptimeRobot?
Uptime is priced flat at $5/mo à la carte with no per-seat or per-response fees, and it's one of 8 tools you can bundle under a single $20/mo subscription — the shared login and billing is what keeps the cost down, not a stripped-down product.
Can I switch from UptimeRobot without moving everything else at once?
Yes. À la carte pricing lets you replace just UptimeRobot first — you don't need to move your whole stack to Multitool on day one.
