# UptimeRobot

Hosted uptime monitor with a free plan of 50 monitors and paid plans from €9 a month.

65 points out of 100. #6 of 10 uptime monitoring services. Vendor: UptimeRobot. Website: https://uptimerobot.com/

- Solo costs €9 a month billed yearly for 10 monitors with 60-second checks [1][2].
- Solo with 50 monitors costs €19 a month billed yearly [2].
- Solo includes heartbeat, DNS and SSL expiry monitoring, 3 status pages and your own status domain [1][2].

Solo covers the main check types, SSL alerts, heartbeats and a status page on your own domain [1][2].
