Uptime.com pricing starts at $9 a month for 10 basic checks, 1 advanced check and 25 SMS alerts, or $84 a year on yearly billing. It scales through 22 tiers to $13,343 a month for 30,000 checks. Every tier bills about 75 cents a month per basic check from 100 up to 1,000 checks, so there is no volume discount until you pass 1,000. Status pages and real user monitoring are separate add-ons, starting at $13 and $7 a month. Yearly billing takes roughly 20% off.

Uptime.com pricing and why the old plans are gone
If you have read an older review, you may have seen Uptime.com sold as a short ladder of named editions, with faster check intervals reserved for the higher ones. Software directories still list four editions priced from $24 to $455 a month. That ladder is no longer on the pricing page. Uptime.com now sells one Website Monitoring subscription sized by a quantity selector, plus optional Status Page and Real User Monitoring modules priced the same way. Check the source of any figure before it goes into a budget.
Two terms matter for reading the tiers. A basic check is a single-request check: HTTP(S), ping, TCP and UDP ports, DNS, SSL, domain expiry, SMTP, IMAP, POP and similar. An advanced check covers API monitoring, transaction checks, page speed, webhook, heartbeat, group and third-party checks.
How much does Uptime.com cost per tier?
The first ten Website Monitoring tiers cover almost every small and mid-sized team. The annual column is the full yearly price, and the per-month figure is that price divided by twelve.
| Basic checks | Advanced checks | SMS alerts | Billed monthly | Billed yearly | Yearly, per month |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | 1 | 25 | $9 | $84 | $7 |
| 25 | 3 | 50 | $19 | $180 | $15 |
| 50 | 5 | 75 | $38 | $360 | $30 |
| 100 | 10 | 100 | $75 | $720 | $60 |
| 200 | 15 | 200 | $150 | $1,440 | $120 |
| 300 | 20 | 350 | $225 | $2,160 | $180 |
| 400 | 30 | 500 | $300 | $2,880 | $240 |
| 500 | 50 | 750 | $375 | $3,600 | $300 |
| 750 | 75 | 1,000 | $562 | $5,400 | $450 |
| 1,000 | 100 | 1,500 | $750 | $7,200 | $600 |
Above 1,000 the tiers continue at 1,500, 2,000, 2,500, 3,000, 4,000, 5,000, 7,500, 10,000, 15,000, 20,000, 25,000 and 30,000 basic checks, topping out at $13,343 a month or $128,088 a year. Every tier includes unlimited users, unlimited dashboards and reports, SLA reporting, API access and 24 months of check history. Uptime.com also lists SSO, audit logs and SOC 2 compliance, and offers a 30-day money-back guarantee rather than a free plan.
How much does one Uptime.com check cost?
Divide each monthly price by its basic check count and a pattern jumps out. The rate barely moves across the range most buyers live in.
| Basic checks | Per check, billed monthly | Per check, billed yearly |
|---|---|---|
| 10 | $0.90 | $0.70 |
| 25 to 50 | $0.76 | $0.60 |
| 100 to 1,000 | $0.75 | $0.60 |
| 2,000 | $0.68 | $0.55 |
| 5,000 | $0.56 | $0.44 |
| 30,000 | $0.44 | $0.36 |
From 100 checks to 1,000, you pay 75 cents a check a month on monthly billing and 60 cents on yearly billing, at every tier. Growing tenfold earns no discount at all. The rate only starts to fall past 1,000 checks. That makes Uptime.com easy to budget, since cost is a straight line, but it also means a mid-sized estate never gets cheaper per check as it grows. Pingdom's per-check rate does fall with volume, but only slowly, as our Pingdom pricing breakdown shows.
Does Uptime.com charge extra for status pages?
Yes. Status pages are a separate module and are not included in any Website Monitoring tier.
| Status pages | Subscribers | Billed monthly | Billed yearly |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 250 | $13 | $120 |
| 2 | 750 | $25 | $240 |
| 4 | 2,500 | $38 | $360 |
| 7 | 5,000 | $63 | $600 |
| 10 | 10,000 | $88 | $840 |
| 20 | 25,000 | $139 | $1,320 |
The tiers run to 100 pages for $513 a month. Real user monitoring is priced the same way, from $7 a month for 50,000 data points to $938 a month for the largest tier. If you publish a status page for customers, add at least $13 a month to any Website Monitoring figure. Our status page pricing comparison lines that up against the other hosted status page vendors.
Can Uptime.com check every 30 seconds?
No. Uptime.com's pricing page lists a 1-minute check frequency, and its support documentation describes HTTP(S) checks running at intervals from 1 minute to 1 hour, with 1 minute as the minimum. The same documentation notes that the minimum can depend on your subscription, API checks default to 3 minutes, and transaction checks run every 5 minutes at the fastest.
One minute is fine for most sites. It is slow for an API with a 99.99% SLA, where the whole monthly error budget is about 4 minutes 23 seconds. AlertPing checks every 30 seconds on Team at $59 a month and every 60 seconds on Starter at $49, confirming each failure from a second region before paging anyone. The full head-to-head is on our Uptime.com alternative page.
Does Uptime.com charge for SMS alerts?
SMS alerts come as an allowance tied to the tier: 25 on the entry tier, 50 at 25 checks, 100 at 100 checks and 1,500 at 1,000 checks. The pricing page does not state the allowance period, and when you need more, its FAQ says to select the next tier.
Assume one text per person per message and a three-person rota receiving a down alert and a recovery alert. That is 6 SMS an incident. The 25-check tier covers about 8 incidents on 50 SMS, and the 100-check tier about 16 on 100. A flapping endpoint can burn through that in one night. AlertPing includes SMS, email, Slack and webhook alerts on every plan with no allowance.
Three worked Uptime.com bills
Three buyers we see often, priced on yearly billing, with the status page module added where the buyer needs one.
| Buyer | Need | Uptime.com cost per year | AlertPing cost per year | Honest pick |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Small team | 20 URLs, no status page, a few API checks | $180 (25 basic, 3 advanced) | $288, Starter, 20 monitors | Uptime.com |
| SaaS company | 100 endpoints, 5 status pages, 30-second checks | $1,320 at 1 minute ($720 plus $600 for 7 pages) | $348, Team, 30 seconds | AlertPing |
| Agency | 500 client checks, 20 status pages | $4,920 ($3,600 plus $1,320) | $1,128, Business | AlertPing |
The first row is a genuine win for Uptime.com. For $180 a year, $108 less than our $288, it gives 25 basic checks plus 3 advanced checks and unlimited users, against our 20 monitors and 3 team members. If you do not need a status page or a sub-minute interval, that is the better deal. The SaaS row turns because Uptime.com cannot reach 30 seconds at any price and bills status pages on top, a $972 a year gap. The agency row is $3,792 a year apart, mostly because monitoring and status pages are both billed per unit.
One practical note on paying monthly. Uptime.com takes card and PayPal, and the monitoring, status page and user monitoring modules are chosen separately. A team on expense management software should tag those subscription charges to one vendor and one cost center from the first month, because several modules from one vendor are easy to misfile as unrelated tools when renewal comes.
Is Uptime.com worth the money?
For teams that want API, transaction and heartbeat checks, SLA reports and unlimited users on one bill, yes. The advanced check allowance and the 24-month history are real value, and the flat per-check rate makes forecasting easy. It is a weaker fit when you need checks faster than one minute, when status pages are central to how you talk to customers, or when several people rely on SMS during long incidents. If you are also pricing synthetic suites, see our Dotcom-Monitor alternative and Uptrends alternative pages, and the uptime monitoring pricing comparison for fifteen tools side by side.
The short version
Uptime.com costs $9 a month for 10 checks, $19 for 25, $75 for 100 and $375 for 500 on monthly billing, about 20% less billed yearly. The price per check sits at 75 cents from 100 to 1,000 checks. Status pages start at $13 a month extra, SMS is an allowance, and the fastest interval is one minute. Price the interval and the status pages first, because those two lines decide whether Uptime.com or a flat plan is cheaper for you.
