UptimeRobot: cost, fit and limits
UptimeRobot is a website and endpoint monitoring service that checks HTTP, keyword, ping, port, UDP, DNS and SSL targets at set intervals, sends alerts and hosts status pages, sold in free, Solo, Team, Scale and Enterprise plans.
What to know first
UptimeRobot prices in euros and gives the largest free allowance in this category, 50 monitors at a 5 minute interval. Paid plans shorten the interval to 60, 30 and 15 seconds as you move from Solo to Scale. The company behind it and its hosting region are not stated on the pages we read, though the security page mentions SOC 2 compliance. An MCP server is linked for outside AI agents.

Who UptimeRobot is best for
Hobby sites and side projects
Fifty free monitors cover a lot of small sites and endpoints before any card is needed, which suits people who just want to know when something is down.
Small agencies that need white label pages
Team adds 100 status pages and white label, so client-facing pages can carry the agency's design rather than a vendor's branding.
Teams that want faster checks without a big bill
The Scale plan lists a 15 second interval at €55 a month on annual billing, a short detection time compared with most priced tiers here.

What UptimeRobot does
- Many monitor types
- HTTP, keyword, ping, port, UDP, DNS, SSL and domain expiry monitors are listed, plus cron job monitoring among the types and dependency monitoring on the Free plan.
- False alert prevention
- Multi-location checking and false alert prevention are advertised, meant to stop a single failed probe from paging someone at night. It is a design choice aimed at reducing night-time noise.
- Status pages
- Status pages exist from the Free plan with basic styling, and custom design, your own domain and white label arrive on higher plans. Pages on lower plans use the default design.
- Pay-as-you-go alert packs
- SMS and voice call credits are sold as one-time packs, with 10 credits shown at $3.00 in the page we read, so phone alerts are metered outside the subscription.
How UptimeRobot handles your data
The security page says SOC 2 compliance is available to customers, and the vendor describes a GDPR-aligned approach with a data processing agreement on request. The privacy policy says EU data may be accessed from outside the EEA by group staff and that data is kept as needed. Solo lists 12 months of data retention. The pages we read name no hosting region and do not say whether customer data trains models.
Where UptimeRobot falls short in practice
- Free interval is slow. The free plan checks every 5 minutes, so an outage can go unnoticed for that long before the first alert fires. Only paid plans shorten that window, starting with Solo at 60 seconds.
- Little incident tooling. The pages we read describe alerts, integrations and status pages, but no on-call schedules, no escalation policy and no AI investigation of an outage. Teams that need an on-call rota must connect PagerDuty or a similar outside service.

UptimeRobot: common questions
How many monitors does UptimeRobot give for free?
The Free plan lists 50 monitors at a 5 minute interval, with HTTP, port, ping, keyword, UDP, DNS and SSL and domain expiry monitors, and basic status pages. No credit card is required. Paid plans shorten the interval and add seats, status pages and retention, as of November 2026.
How much do UptimeRobot paid plans cost?
In euros per month: Solo €10, Team €35 and Scale €65, or €9, €30 and €55 on annual billing at €108, €360 and €660 a year. The page says annual billing saves about 15 percent. Enterprise is a custom quote. SMS and voice credits are sold separately as packs.
What check interval does UptimeRobot offer?
Intervals tighten by plan: 5 minutes on Free, 60 seconds on Solo, 30 seconds on Team and 15 seconds on Scale. Enterprise lists custom intervals. Faster checks reduce the time before an alert, but cost more per month, so match the plan to how costly a missed outage would be.
Does UptimeRobot have an AI feature?
Not for detection, on the pages we read. The site links an MCP server and says its pricing is machine-readable for AI agents, so an outside assistant can read the account. No AI investigation or anomaly feature is described. Vendors such as Better Stack and Oh Dear name AI features of their own.
Is UptimeRobot SOC 2 compliant?
The security page says SOC 2 compliance is available to customers, and the Enterprise plan lists a SOC 2 report with a DPA, MSA and security review. We did not read an audit report, so ask for the current document. The pages also did not name a hosting region.
