It monitors our websites consistently and helps us quickly identify downtime. It's a simple and reliable tool that we can count on. Pros UptimeRobot reliably monitors our websites and alerts us when something goes wrong. It's easy to use and gives us peace of mind. Cons I haven't experienced any major issues with UptimeRobot so far. It works well for our needs, and I don't have any particular complaints. There is always room for improvement, but overall, I'm satisfied with the service. Review Source R Reviewer IT Administrator Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Simple, reliable uptime monitoring" October 12, 2026 5.0 We’ve been using UptimeRobot for over a year to monitor our website and other services. It runs quietly in the background and gives our whole team real peace of mind. We’d recommend it to anyone looking for simple, reliable uptime monitoring. Pros For our website, UptimeRobot is really practical: if the site goes down, we get an alert right away and can often react before visitors even notice. The uptime history also gives us a good overview of how reliably the site is running. It’s just as useful for our staff, who can see at a glance which of our services are currently available without having to ask the IT team. Setting up new monitors is quick and easy. Cons Some of the most useful features, such as SSL and domain expiry monitoring, heartbeat monitors and shorter check intervals, are only available on paid plans. For non-profits on a tight budget, that can be a hurdle. Review Source Zach S. Engineering Manager Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Excellent for basic service uptime monitoring" August 27, 2026 5.0 Pros Uptimerobot has been rock-solid as a basic uptime monitoring service for our team at Maisha Meds for years. We've found it easy to set up new monitors as we spin up new services, and have peace of mind about the stability of our production services. Cons No real cons, it does one thing and does it well. It would be nice to have a few more accounts and/or integrations available on the free plan. Review Source R Reviewer Open-source maintainer Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "UptimeRobot has been great for cdnjs" June 3, 2026 5.0 Pros UptimeRobot has supported cdnjs for many years now, being an excellent tool for external monitoring of our services. UptimeRobot not only gives us key alerts for when our services are down, but also provides additional data such as response times so that we can spot when something might be underperforming for our users. Their support team has been incredibly helpful and responsive whenever we've run into issues. Cons We've never had any issues with their service, though very infrequently we see noise in the alerts that appear to be networking issues on UptimeRobot's side rather than our services. Review Source R Reviewer Web developer Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Easy to use, reliable, good UI" May 8, 2026 5.0 Quickly set up monitors for my websites, default notification settings, turn on and forget. As easy as that. Pros Very easy to use, you can have a monitor set up in a few clicks, or import multiple. Reliable - never had a false positive. Cons Nothing I don't like here. It's a simple tool and UI that let's you easily monitor uptime for any URL, with easy setup. Review Source R Reviewer Creative director Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Would recommend for easy monitoring" April 15, 2026 5.0 Pros Easy to use and setup.. Great for alerts of my home lab dashboard is better on the mobile all and easy to manage Cons Can sometimes be slow to load.. And had to unblock non Australian ips to ping my network.. Outside of that on Web good product Review Source David C. Tech Lead Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Great service" March 26, 2026 5.0 Pros Been using Uptime Robot for a number of years and always found things easy to use and setup. Notifications are great and can be pushed to your phone as well. Cons Not much to say for the cons, but if I had to choose something, it would be that the app has some limited functionality, but it's getting better all the time and anything you can't do on the app, you can do through a browser. Review Source R Reviewer Marked and insights manager Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Great experiences as a non-profit service owner" March 19, 2026 5.0 It´s a great tool not just for the tech-savy, but for a company which outsources their technology work to keep track of our website´s perfomance. Pros We have been using uptimerobot for some time now as a tool for us as a service owner. It has a allowed us to keep track not just for peace of mind, but also to meet our technology partner for immediate bug-fixing when required. As a non-profit we have kindly been given a sponsorship plan from uptimerobot to keep our services running as stable as possible. Cons For our use as a service owner, and not a technology company, we are happy to report that we have experiences very little to no issues using uptimerobot. Review Source JP Jordan P. System Admin Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Reliable Uptime Monitoring" March 11, 2026 5.0 I've used UptimeRobot for nearly 10 years and have had great reliability with the service - if there are any issues, they have been addressed promptly without requiring follow up on my part. The new dashboard along with the mobile app are great, and provide quick access to check monitors and become aware of issues. There are a variety of different monitor types that can be configured and it just works well overall! Pros With the launch of the revised dashboard in 2024, it's been easier to manage monitors and see an overview of the status of all monitors. The reliability of the service has been incredible, compared to other monitoring providers I've tried. Cons They change their policies from time to time, more than other services I've used in the past; that being said, they do introduce new features that are useful. Review Source R Reviewer Technical Officer Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "It does the job perfectly!" January 6, 2026 5.0 Pros Easy setup, Clean & Intuitive Interface and reliable! No advanced technical knowledge is required. Great Tool ! Cons The dashboard can feel a bit basic, and some advanced analytics or customization options are limited unless you’re on a higher plan. Review Source R Reviewer Director of Digital Experience Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "A powerful, yet simple to use tool" May 20, 2025 5.0 We've been using Uptimerobot as an organization in some form or fashion for many, many years and appreciate the stability and longevity of the product and company. They keep adding features yet maintain the simple, ease-of-use for powerful features. Pros We love the ability to quickly check multiple systems before key events we run to ensure they are running. We love that the interface is simple and easy to understand at a glance. The push notifications on the mobile apps are a great way to cut through the noise and busyness of email alerts. Their plans and pricing are all very reasonable with a great freemium option too. Cons We wish we could group alerts together or re-order them under folders or headings. I also wish you could log into more than one account at the same time in the mobile app. I have a primary day job where we use it as a organization, but I also use it for my personal side hustle, and I lose the ability to use the mobile app for both simultaneously. Review Source Roman G. CEO Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "They broke it" June 8, 2022 1.0 They broke it. Monitors are frequently not working, reporting state 30-40 minutes late, or not at all. I have 2 accounts and 1 account may report correctly while the second doesn't - it's just unusable. Support say: “this is normal” - or "our IP was blocked" (it wasn't and why did the other monitor work then?). Right now, I have a monitor that should be up, but isn’t. Their solution? - Reset the stats and lose 3 years of history because it is "stucked in cache". Disgraceful. No solution or refund from their team. Pros Used to work, but unfortunately no longer does. Cons The information cannot be relied upon unfortunately. Review Source R Reviewer Network Manager Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Reliable and generous" May 6, 2025 5.0 One of those pieces of software which you can trust to just work nicely in the background without being checked on but is right there alerting you when needed. Pros Very reliable service with great incident reporting and tracking. Nice and easy to set up, including to monitor other status pages (which other services some times seem to struggle with). Even the free plan feature set is quite generous and the updated interface is great too! Cons It would be great to be able to group services on a status page with the group status based off individual service statuses. Review Source JC Javier C. Digital Platform Coordinator Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Reliable Website Monitoring for Almost a Decade!" February 28, 2025 5.0 I've been using Uptime Robot for nearly 10 years, and it has been an incredibly reliable tool for monitoring my websites and servers. The free tier is generous, allowing for multiple monitors with a 5-minute check interval, which is more than enough for most small to medium projects. The interface is simple and intuitive, and setting up new monitors takes just a few seconds. Pros \- Extremely reliable. - Free tier is very accommodating with 50 monitors and 5-minute intervals - Easy to set up and manage with an intuitive dashboard - Supports multiple alert methods, including email, SMS, and other integrations - Affordable paid plans for those needing advanced features like 1-minute checks and SSL monitoring Cons \- Limited historical data in the free tier (logs are only stored for 3 months) - SMS alerts can be costly compared to competitors Review Source JOSE DE JESUS R. Coordinador de Proyectos de TI Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Few steps to setup, great results in monitoring" January 1, 2026 5.0 We have been using our website monitoring and API for the past 5 years and have loved how easy it is to set up and being notified as soon as something is no longer correct has allowed us to fix bugs as quickly as possible. The query time set to 5 min is one of the best ways to integrate avoiding too much load on the server, so far due to the ease of use we have not required customer support yet. Pros For us it has helped us to resolve the time that some pages of our website and services can be offline. Cons So far, we haven't found anything worth commenting on in the technological aspect. The only thing we didn't like was when they removed functions from the status pages of free accounts. Review Source R Reviewer Information Systems Manager Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Uptimerobot – does what it says on the tin!" February 3, 2025 4.0 The overall experience has been positive. While there are competitors out there, we’ve not considered using any as Uptimerobot does what we need it to do – provide insight into the uptime of our site. Pros The ease of setting up a basic monitor. It was pretty easy and suited our purposes for a small but growing site. Cons From time to time we may get timeout notifications. When these are momentary and you’re on the basic (free) 5 minute cycle, it’s a bit difficult to troubleshoot . We’re in the process of upgrading our package and should get a lot more granularity. Review Source R Reviewer IT Support Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "A must-have for any organization that depends on a reliable online presence" February 10, 2025 5.0 Overall, UptimeRobot is a must-have for any organization that depends on a reliable online presence. Highly recommended! Pros We've been using UptimeRobot to monitor our non-profit’s website, and it has been an invaluable tool.

They have reliably monitored our websites and with their app we have been notified immediately rather than missing an email and having problems compound over time. Pros UptimeRobot has reliably monitored our websites and conveniently notified us for over two years. Cons The most painful part of the process was setup but it was over quickly.

Manager, Web Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Uptimerobot—useful in keeping me ahead of the game" November 22, 2024 5.0 Pros It is very useful for me to in near real-time to manage the status of my websites. I have to manage about two dozen properties—not all that I own—so having a light footprint tool for this is great. It is great to know of (and fix) issues with my sites before my boss knows there is an issue. Cons While it is very fast in picking up changes, I would love something that was a bit faster. Review Source R Reviewer Head of IT Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "highly recommend" November 29, 2024 5.0 Overall, I highly recommend UptimeRobot to anyone looking for a reliable and easy-to-use website monitoring tool.
