Broad protocol and synthetic monitoring starts at $9 per month.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Uptime.com brings website, API, and infrastructure availability monitoring into a web-based platform for engineering, operations, and SRE teams. It checks HTTP(S) sites at intervals as short as one minute and also monitors TCP, UDP, ping, DNS, SSH, FTP, SMTP, and IMAP. SSL certificate expiry alerts and expected-string content validation help teams catch certificate and page changes alongside outages. This range makes it a fit for teams responsible for services across several protocols, rather than only a single public website.
The monitoring scope extends beyond availability checks. Uptime.com includes API and synthetic transaction monitoring, page speed and real-user monitoring, plus dashboards, status pages, SLA reports, and root-cause analysis. Alerts can go through email, SMS, mobile app push notifications, voice calls, third-party integrations, or webhooks. Named integrations include PagerDuty, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Opsgenie, Datadog, Splunk On-Call, Pushover, and Zapier; REST API access and webhooks support additional workflows. Teams that need monitoring signals alongside incident response and reporting can draw on this breadth, while buyers interested only in basic uptime checks may not need the wider set.
According to the vendor's pricing page, the Website Monitoring offer starts at $9 per month, billed monthly. Its listed highlights include uptime, transaction, API, and page speed monitoring, email and SMS alerting, and 20+ integrations. The vendor says plans are based on check quotas rather than website counts, so buyers should assess expected check volume when considering the starting price. The offer is configurable, but the published pricing information does not state the starting offer's quota or included location count. Uptime.com suits teams seeking broad protocol and synthetic coverage with reporting and alerting; those choosing primarily on a clearly stated check allowance should compare plan specifics before deciding.
