UptimeRobot alternative
The UptimeRobot alternative that watches your dependencies too
UptimeRobot is a solid, popular uptime monitor with a genuinely generous free tier. We cover the same checks, then add the half UptimeRobot leaves out: the third-party services you depend on, reconciled against their official status pages, and a native app that is a real network instrument. When your outage is actually someone else’s outage, that gap is the whole problem.

Why teams pick us over UptimeRobot
- Third-party dependency monitoring and status-page aggregation, not only your own endpoints.
- Reconciliation: we flag a red probe while the provider’s page still says green.
- A native iOS app with ping, traceroute, and reachability, plus alerts that need no account.
- Programmable primitives (functions, DNS-over-HTTPS, key-value) and an open API.
- Flat pricing with a one-time lifetime Founders option.
