Developers, Marketing agencies, Managed service providers (MSPs). Anyone who is responsible for a website/web service and needs to know if the website goes down.
UptimeRobot is built for businesses of all sizes, including freelancers, hobbyists, and small to medium businesses that need to keep an eye on their online presence and important services.
This is a great software that helps you monitor your web applications regularly. You get the notification as soon as they are down and this helps you manage your web application effectively.
API to warn about future maintenance and history of failures or maintenance.
The fact that there are no unnecessary features and that it is entirely focused on its primary purpose is a great advantage.
That was fixed once I raised it to their support desk. However, when switched off, the check still failed as the type of SSL error the site was throwing was still picked up.
Ability to integrate with a status page for free is a big advantage. Growing with a company is a good business model for people who are just starting out.
I sometime get confuse while selecting a date range for report.
Huge number of checks, very short intervals, a comprehensive integration, super fast support, very reliable and quick with notifications.
Loading the page is not super fast. Alerts logic is sometimes weird (eg, keeps sending me email alerts when DNS is down... but no DNS means no email for the same domain).
This service is great, it has saved me many times and I want to thank everyone at Uptime Robot for producing and offering such an important and reliable service.
The UI can be be improved and sometime when there is network issue its gives some wrong error.
UptimeRobot is an effective, budget-friendly solution for basic uptime monitoring. While it may lack advanced analytics, it delivers where it matters most: reliability and ease of use.
We use Uptimerobot to monitor 50+ websites. With API integration the setup for a new monitor is automatic and no human is necessary.
Overall, Uptime Robot is an outstanding tool for anyone needing reliable website uptime monitoring, and I highly recommend it for both professionals and beginners in the digital arena.
The information cannot be relied upon unfortunately.
What I appreciate most about Uptime Robot is the peace of mind it brings. The platform is simple yet powerful, monitoring my websites round-the-clock and ensuring they're operating optimally.

Andrew: Hello, I'm Andrew, owner. Today, I'm rating Freshping. I give it a rating of five. For more reviews like this, click below. For me, I really didn't have a software to tell me when websites were having errors. To be honest, Freshping opened up my eyes to new softwares where it would actually make it easier for the website to send me an email versus my clients calling me going, "Hey, my website's down. Why is it down?" It usually would give me the chance to find out the website's down, fix it, and then send the customer a short email saying, "Hey, your website went down. This is what was wrong, and we're already back up and running." Basically chose Freshping because it's the only one I really found on the market that was an easy tool to use. It made my life easier when I can set up a, "Hey, this is the error 404 message for this website. Why is it offline?" And it would send it to me instead of the client getting upset going, "Hey, my website's down. I'm losing business. Why is my website down?" It was definitely simple to set up Freshping. You follow the step-by-step guide. For their initial system set-up, you can literally set up 50 websites at first, and anything above 50 websites is when they actually start billing you for it. For me, as a small-time website developer, getting set up with something easy was the best thing for me. To be honest, Freshping was the best thing that happened to me and my company, so I would recommend it to anybody and everybody, even if you're just starting out as a web developer and you only have five websites. That five could turn into 15, could turn into 20. If you've got that alert system that's going to tell you when a website goes down, it just makes you look more professional.
