EU-focused synthetic monitoring with a permanent free plan and browser workflows.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
XICTRAQ is a hosted website-monitoring platform for freelancers, small businesses, marketing teams, and agencies. It combines uptime monitoring from multiple EU measurement nodes with SSL, security-header, GDPR, accessibility, SEO, analytics, API, heartbeat, browser-synthetic, status-page, reporting, and alerting features. Its web and API access suit teams that want website checks, endpoint validation, scheduled job monitoring, and customer-facing status pages in one product.
The plan structure starts with a permanent Free tier at €0 per month. It includes 1 website, a 5-minute uptime interval, daily SSL, security, and compliance checks, email alerts, 2 heartbeats, and a public status page. Starter costs €12 per month and expands coverage to 3 websites, 1-minute uptime, cookieless analytics, 10 heartbeats, and 10 API endpoints, while adding Slack, Discord, Telegram, and Teams notifications. Business costs €29 per month and adds 10 websites, heatmaps, session recording, browser monitoring, multi-step escalation, on-call rotation, webhook and API keys, and PDF reports. Agency costs €79 per month for 50 websites, 30-second uptime, white-label branding, a client portal, branded PDF reports, and dedicated onboarding.
The standout capability is synthetic coverage across APIs, cron jobs, and browser journeys. API checks support assertions and JSON-schema validation; heartbeat monitoring covers cron jobs, backups, and pipelines; and Chromium workflows can handle multi-step login, checkout, and form flows. Failure screenshots and per-step run history give teams useful evidence when a journey breaks. Alerts can reach email, Slack, Discord, Telegram, Teams, and webhooks, with Stripe also listed among the integrations. XICTRAQ fits buyers prioritizing EU measurement and a low-cost path from basic uptime checks to agency monitoring. Teams needing browser checks on the entry plan, broader site coverage, or white-label delivery should choose a higher tier.
