The service has given us complete peace of mind with around-the-clock monitoring of our multiple domains without breaking the budget or requiring extensive technical expertise. Pros I use Uptime Robot to monitor multiple domains across our various projects, and the setup process couldn't be more straightforward. Each monitor takes literally seconds to configure, and the intuitive dashboard makes managing everything effortless. As a small team that needs reliable 24/7 monitoring, Uptimerobot has been invaluable. We get instant notifications via email, SMS, and push notifications the moment any issues arise, allowing us to respond quickly. The status page feature has been incredibly useful for communicating with our stakeholders and customers. It provides real-time updates automatically and gives everyone visibility into our service status without overwhelming our support team with inquiries. They recently added DNS monitoring capabilities, which is a fantastic addition. Cons While the free plan offers a generous 50 monitors, the 5-minute check interval is limiting. For more frequent monitoring (like 1-minute checks), you'll need to upgrade to a paid plan. Review Source JM Jeff M. Director of Digital Experience Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A powerful, yet simple to use tool" May 19, 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. Alternatives considered [Better Stack](https://www.capterra.com/p/202150/Better-Stack/) Reason for choosing Uptimerobot Better pricing, simpler interface. Been around longer / more proven. Familiarity and use by our IT provider as well. They also have a nonprofit discount for our 501(c)3 organization. Review Source JK Johan K. Marked and insights manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great experiences as a non-profit service owner" March 18, 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 RG Roman G. CEO Security and Investigations Used the software for: 2+ years ### "They broke it" June 6, 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 JP Jordan P. System Admin Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Reliable Uptime Monitoring" February 28, 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 JC Javier C. Digital Platform Coordinator Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Reliable Website Monitoring for Almost a Decade!" February 19, 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 Alternatives considered [Grafana](https://www.capterra.com/p/196036/Grafana-Enterprise/)[New Relic](https://www.capterra.com/p/118128/New-Relic/) Reason for choosing Uptimerobot Ease of use, accommodating free tier and reliable services.

Network Manager Performing Arts Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Reliable and generous" May 1, 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. Switched from [Statuspage](https://www.capterra.com/p/177360/Statuspage/) Improved reliability. There's comfort in being able to trust someone else to cover this. Review Source BB Bert B. Head of IT Fine Art Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Confidence" February 6, 2025 5.0 It does what they claim, so I can be confident I'll know when the server reboots and I need to turn it back on! Pros I set it and forget it. Until it emails me that we've had an outage. That kind of peace of mind is worth the price of admission. Cons I have no cons about the service at all. Alternatives considered [Uptrends](https://www.capterra.com/p/80467/Uptrends/)[Visualping](https://www.capterra.com/p/211816/Visualping/) Reason for choosing Uptimerobot Don't really know why they stood out against the others but I felt confident from the start.

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.

Pros Easy to set up and integrate. Great for monitoring your apps, services, and hardware. Clean, professional-looking dashboard. Cons It will not monitor internal services that are not publicly available. There are ways around this but they would require some custom coding for your org.
