In short
An uptime monitor is a tool that repeatedly checks whether your website or service is reachable and responding correctly, then alerts you the moment it stops. UptimeHub checks your endpoints every minute from 6 global regions and, when a check fails, retries automatically from other regions to confirm the outage before it pings you, usually within seconds. It supports eight check types in one flat plan: HTTP, ping, TCP port, SSL, DNS, keyword, and cron heartbeat. Every check runs read-only from the outside, exactly as a real visitor would experience your site, so there is nothing to install and no agent to run on your servers. When something recovers, you get a clear all-clear too.
What you get
Uptime monitoring for developers, SaaS teams and agencies
Checks every minute
UptimeHub probes your endpoints on a tight interval so a real outage is caught in the same minute it starts, not fifteen minutes later.
Multi-region by default
Every monitor runs from 6 regions with automatic cross-region retry, so a single flaky path never turns into a false alarm.
All check types, one plan
HTTP, ping, TCP, SSL, DNS, keyword, and cron heartbeat checks are all included, so you monitor everything without upgrading tiers.
Priced per monitor, never per seat
Add your whole team at no extra cost and pay only for the monitors you run, so growing headcount never inflates your bill.

What one uptime monitor costs at five smaller vendors
Plan prices hide the number that matters, which is what a single monitor costs you once the plan is full. Each vendor below publishes enough of its price list to work that out, and the answer ranges from 20 cents to $3.50 a month for the same basic job: request a URL on a schedule and tell you when it stops answering. Every figure comes from the vendor's own pricing page, and each row links to our full breakdown with the calculator.
| Vendor | How it bills | What one monitor costs |
|---|---|---|
| Hyperping pricing | Plans at $29, $89 and $299 a month ($24, $74 and $249 billed yearly), plus $7 to $12 per extra seat | $0.74 a month on Pro billed yearly (100 monitors for $74) |
| Pulsetic pricing | Plans at $9, $19 and $49 a month, with a published rate for every add-on | $0.20 a month per add-on monitor, plus $8 per teammate |
| Uptrends pricing | Credits at $7 a year on Core and $10 on Pro; an uptime monitor uses 6 | $3.50 a month on Core ($42 a year), $5.00 on Pro |
| Uptime.com pricing | 22 quantity tiers from 10 to 30,000 checks, $9 to $13,343 a month | $0.60 a month per check billed yearly, flat from 50 to 1,000 checks |
| Oh Dear pricing | Nine plans priced by site count, $17 a month for 2 sites to $439 for 200 | $5.50 a site a month at 10 sites, $2.20 at 200 |
| UptimeHub | Starter $24, Pro $49, Business $99 a month billed yearly ($49, $99, $199 monthly) | $0.49 a month on Pro billed yearly (100 monitors checked every 30 seconds for $49) |
Two things stand out. Pulsetic's add-on rate is the cheapest unit price on the table, and if you need a handful of extra monitors on top of a small plan and one person on call, it is hard to beat. The picture changes when the team grows, because Pulsetic and Hyperping both charge per seat and UptimeHub Pro includes unlimited seats. Oh Dear and Uptrends sit at the other end: Oh Dear bundles broken link, Lighthouse, DNS, domain expiry and cron checks into each site, so its per-site figure buys more than a single HTTP check, while Uptrends prices every monitor type in credits and charges the most for plain uptime.
If the thing you are protecting is a revenue website rather than a bare endpoint, a status code alone will miss the broken deploy that still returns 200. The failure-to-check table and the starting settings for a marketing page versus a checkout path are on our site monitoring for uptime, content, SSL and response time page.
If you are comparing the bigger names instead, the uptime monitoring pricing comparison puts UptimeRobot, Pingdom, StatusCake, Better Stack and Site24x7 on the same per-monitor basis.
FAQ
Questions buyers ask about Uptime monitoring
An uptime monitor sends a request to your URL or host on a fixed interval from outside your network and records whether it got the expected response. If a check fails, a good monitor retries from other locations to rule out a network fault on its side, then raises an alert only once the failure is confirmed from more than one place.
Once a minute is the practical standard for anything that generates revenue, because it caps how long an outage can run before you know about it. Five minute intervals are acceptable for low-stakes sites, but they cannot support a 99.99 percent availability target, since the entire monthly downtime budget is shorter than one check gap.
No. UptimeHub sends the same kind of request a visitor would, once a minute, which is a negligible fraction of normal traffic for any real site. Checks run read-only from outside your infrastructure, so there is no agent consuming CPU or memory on your servers and nothing installed that could affect performance.
Uptime monitoring checks your service from the outside and answers whether customers can reach it. Server monitoring runs an agent on the machine and reports internal metrics such as CPU, memory, and disk. They answer different questions: a server can look perfectly healthy on its own metrics while a DNS or certificate fault makes it unreachable.
Usually because the outage was brief, regional, or intermittent, and had cleared by the time you checked. That is why cross-region confirmation matters: a failure seen from one location and confirmed from another is a real problem your visitors in that region experienced, even if the site loads normally from your desk.
