Uptime.com is a solid enterprise tool, but starts at $21.99/month with no free plan. CheckHost gives you 40+ locations and sub-second alerts starting at $0. Here's the full comparison.
CheckHost provides faster alert delivery (<1s vs ~30s), more monitoring locations (40+ vs 30+), and a generous free plan that Uptime.com simply doesn't offer. Solo plan at $8.70/mo undercuts Uptime.com's $21.99/mo entry price by 60%.

Uptime.com has some enterprise features like RUM, transaction monitoring, and SSO that CheckHost doesn't offer yet. However, for core uptime monitoring — which is what 90% of teams need — CheckHost provides faster alerts, more locations, and dramatically lower pricing.
Uptime.com offers 30-second intervals on higher-tier plans. CheckHost currently offers 60-second intervals. However, CheckHost's alert delivery is much faster (<1s vs ~30s), meaning you're still notified sooner with CheckHost in most scenarios.
CheckHost runs lean infrastructure with modern tech. We pass those savings to customers. Lower price doesn't mean lower quality — our monitoring engine is built in Go for maximum performance, and we operate 40+ locations worldwide.
Unlike Uptime.com's 14-day trial, CheckHost offers a free plan that never expires. Use it as long as you want with unlimited monitors. Upgrade only when you need faster intervals, SSL monitoring, or additional integrations.
Not currently. CheckHost focuses on modern communication channels — Telegram, Discord, Slack, Teams, PagerDuty, and webhooks. If you need SMS or phone calls, you can use a webhook integration with services like Twilio or PagerDuty.
Our Team plan supports multiple seats, team collaboration, custom status pages, and priority support. While we don't offer SSO/SAML yet, we serve 2,000+ teams including SaaS companies, hosting providers, and agencies.
