Uptime.com splits its product into separate priced modules — Website Monitoring, Real User Monitoring, and Status Pages each carry their own cost. Meaningful monitoring generally requires a paid plan.
A side-by-side on the details that matter most when picking between the two.
| Upzilla | Uptime.com | |
|---|---|---|
| Free plan | 10 monitors, any type, no time limit | Limited free tier; core monitoring needs a paid plan |
| Status pages | Included on every monitor, every plan | Priced as a separate module |
| Real User Monitoring | Not a separate product | Priced as a separate module from uptime monitoring |
| Starting paid price | Free tier covers most small setups | Uptime Monitoring starts around $7–9/month, before add-ons |
| Alert channels on free | Slack, Telegram, Messenger, email, SMS, voice call | Meaningful alerting generally requires a paid plan |
Competitor pricing and plan details are based on publicly available information as of 2026 and can change — check the vendor's own pricing page for current terms before deciding.
The core difference is how much is bundled together versus sold as separate modules.
Uptime.com prices its Status Page product on its own. Every Upzilla monitor includes a status page by default.
Uptime.com splits Website Monitoring, RUM, and Status Pages into separately priced modules. Upzilla keeps monitor types, alerts, and status pages under one plan.
Upzilla's free plan includes 10 monitors of any type with full alert channels, rather than a limited entry point that pushes you toward a paid module quickly.
Uptime.com's dedicated RUM module may be a better fit if real-user performance data, not just uptime, is your primary need.
Uptime.com's free tier is limited; most meaningful monitoring capability sits on paid plans, according to publicly available pricing information.
Status Pages are priced as their own module separate from Website Monitoring, based on Uptime.com's public pricing.
Your existing Uptime.com history stays in that account; start fresh monitors in Upzilla and let both run in parallel until you're confident in the switch.
10 monitors free, any type, no card required.
