Website Uptime Monitoring for SaaS Teams Who Ship on Call
You ship on call, so an outage is your page at 2am, not a support ticket the next morning. UptimeHub watches your app, your API, and your dependencies from six regions and tells you first.
Checked from regions with auto-retry. No single-location false alarms.
All systems operational. Steady pulse across every region.
api.example.com returned no response from all 6 regions. Auto-retry confirmed the outage, then we alerted your team.
api.example.com is back up. The incident is logged to your status page history automatically.

In short
Website uptime monitoring checks whether your site and services are reachable and responding correctly, on a set interval, from outside your own network. UptimeHub runs those checks from six global regions and auto-retries from a second region before it alerts, so a single blip in one location does not wake your team. When something is genuinely down it reaches you in seconds over Slack, email, SMS, or webhook, and your users see a branded status page you did not have to build. HTTP, API keyword and JSON checks, SSL expiry, and cron heartbeats all live in one flat plan, so the whole stack is covered from day one.
Why teams pick us
Uptime monitoring built for how you actually work
SaaS and product teams who carry the pager and need to catch outages before customers report them.

A status page for your users
Point status.yourapp.com at UptimeHub and your customers get a live, branded status page instead of flooding your inbox during an incident.
Cover the whole stack
HTTP and API checks, SSL expiry warnings, and cron heartbeats are all in the one per-monitor plan, so your app, endpoints, and jobs are watched together.
What the cloud provider's own uptime checks cost
Most SaaS teams already pay AWS, Google Cloud or Azure, so the first question is usually whether the uptime check built into that console is good enough. All three sell one, and all three bill it by the meter rather than by the monitor. The price depends on interval, region count and which options you switch on, which is why the same URL can cost $2.75 or $39 a month depending on where you set it up.
The table prices one production URL on each provider using the vendor's own published rates, against one monitor on UptimeHub Pro.
| Provider check | How it bills | One URL, a month | What it leaves out |
|---|---|---|---|
| AWS Route 53 health check | $0.75 per outside endpoint plus $2.00 for each option | $2.75 with HTTPS, $4.75 with a content match | No SSL certificate expiry check, no status page |
| Google Cloud uptime check | $0.30 per 1,000 executions after 1 million free per project | $39.42 at one minute from 3 regions, past the 7 checks the free tier covers | Each extra region multiplies the bill, no status page |
| Azure Application Insights test | $0.0005 per standard test execution, plus data ingestion | $21.90 every 5 minutes from the 5 locations Microsoft recommends | Five minute interval at that price, no status page |
| UptimeHub Pro | Flat plan, $49 a month billed yearly for 100 monitors | About $0.49, checked every 30 seconds from 6 regions | Status page, SSL expiry and keyword checks included |
Cloud rates are read from the AWS Price List, the Google Cloud Monitoring pricing page and the Azure Retail Prices API. UptimeHub figures are from our pricing page.
Each figure is worked through on its own page, with a calculator for your monitor count and interval: Route 53 health check pricing, Google Cloud uptime check pricing and Application Insights availability test pricing.
Route 53 is genuinely cheap for a basic check, and if all you need is DNS failover inside AWS it is the right tool. The cost picture flips once you want a one minute interval from several regions, a content assertion and somewhere to tell customers what is happening. There is also a practical point for a team on call: a check that runs outside the cloud account it watches does not share that account's console, billing or permissions on a bad day. The full side-by-side is in our cloud uptime check pricing comparison for AWS, Azure and Google Cloud.
Teams that already run an observability platform ask the same question about it. Sentry uptime monitoring pricing is short to read: every Sentry plan, free and paid alike, includes exactly one uptime monitor and one cron monitor, and everything past that is metered. Grafana Cloud gives Free and Pro the identical synthetic monitoring allowance, so the Grafana Cloud synthetic monitoring pricing calculator is about runs and run time, while Grafana Cloud pricing per user covers the $8.00 charge for each active user above the three included.

FAQ
Questions teams ask about SaaS teams
Most SaaS teams run external checks on their app, API, and critical dependencies from multiple regions on a short interval. UptimeHub checks every 30 seconds from six global regions, auto-retries from a second region before alerting, and pages you over Slack, email, SMS, or webhook the moment a check genuinely fails.
Most SaaS products publish a 99.9 percent monthly SLA, which allows about 43 minutes of downtime a month. Serious infrastructure aims for 99.95 or 99.99 percent. The right number is one you can actually measure and defend, which is why external monitoring and a status page matter as much as the target itself.
Point a check at each endpoint and assert on the response, not just the status code. UptimeHub can match a keyword or JSON value in the API body, verify SSL expiry, watch DNS, and confirm background jobs ran through cron heartbeats, so your whole stack is covered in one flat per-monitor plan.
Yes. A public status page cuts support load during an incident because customers check it instead of flooding your inbox, and it signals reliability to prospects evaluating you. UptimeHub includes a branded status page on your own domain in the same plan, powered automatically by your monitors.
