With UptimeRobot, you get fast cron and heartbeat checks with robust alerting, plus status pages, uptime, SSL, DNS, and keyword monitoring, all included in clear flat rate plans.
No credit card required!
More status pages and monitoring, easy setup, packed with features, transparent pricing, and a forever free plan.
UptimeRobot includes cron and heartbeat monitors on every paid plan, with flexible intervals, bulk setup, and multi-location monitoring. Cronitor also supports this, but charges per monitor and per user, which gets expensive fast.
UptimeRobot's Team plan is $35/month flat with 100 monitors included. Cronitor Business is $2 per monitor plus $5 per user, so even just 50 cron monitors can cost more than $100/month.
On top of cron checks, UptimeRobot bundles uptime, SSL and domain expiry, DNS, keyword monitoring, and full-featured status pages. Cronitor requires add-ons for branded or private pages.
UptimeRobot offers up to 100 fully customizable status pages on the Team plan and unlimited status pages on the Scale plan (starting at $65/month), with password protection and white-labeling included on the Team and Scale plans.
UptimeRobot gives you an all-in-one solution with no add-ons or third-party monitoring tools needed: cron and heartbeat monitoring on paid plans, 100 monitors and 100 status pages on Team (unlimited on Scale), public, private, branded and multilingual status pages, SSL/domain/DNS/port/ping/HTTP(s)/keyword monitoring, incident timelines with team comments and maintenance windows, multi-location monitoring, and integrations for Webhooks, Zapier, SMS and voice calls. Cronitor's Business plan charges $2 per monitor and $5 per user each month, with branded pages $25 extra and private pages $50 extra.

Free ping & port monitoring
Even our free plan covers all vital monitoring needs including ping, port, and HTTP.
SSL certificate monitoring
Be alerted when your SSL certificates are close to expiring, so your site never runs into a preventable outage.
Re-checks before alerting
A failed check is re-checked from a different data center in the same region before we alert you, so one network hiccup stays quiet.
Response time alerts
Set custom thresholds for alerts when your website or application is taking longer than usual to respond.
