UptimeRobot offers a free basic monitoring plan with 50 monitors for life, while Oh Dear only has a 10-day trial version. UptimeRobot prices are also much cheaper compared to Oh Dear.
UptimeRobot's free plan is the cheapest way to monitor a production site properly: 50 monitors, checks every 5 minutes, public status pages, and email plus five integration alert channels, with no time limit and no card. Paid plans start at 60-second checks (Team 30-second, Scale 15-second, Enterprise custom intervals). Most competitors either have no free tier at all, or cap it well below 50 monitors. Uptime Kuma is free to license but you pay for the server it runs on and the time to maintain it.
UptimeRobot charges per monitor, based on the plan you choose. The Team plan includes 3 login seats and Scale includes 5, and extra login seats start at $15/month billed annually. Per-seat tools like Better Stack charge for every user, so a five-person team pays for five subscriptions before monitoring anything. If your team grows faster than your monitor count, per-monitor pricing keeps the bill lower.
No complex setup. No extra tools required.
Just reliable monitoring done right.
