What is UptimeRobot?
UptimeRobot is an uptime monitoring service that checks websites, APIs, servers and other endpoints and alerts you when something goes down, slows or changes. It supports HTTP(S), keyword, ping, port, UDP, API, cron job (heartbeat), DNS, SSL and domain expiry monitors, plus monitoring of third-party services you depend on.
Failed checks are re-checked from a second data center before an incident opens, and monitors can run from up to four regions. Alerts go out by email, SMS, voice call, mobile push and integrations such as Slack, Microsoft Teams, Telegram, Discord and PagerDuty, or through webhooks, Zapier, the API, CLI or MCP. Branded status pages with custom domains, password protection and email subscribers are included.
The free plan covers 50 monitors at 5-minute intervals. Paid plans add faster intervals (down to 15 seconds), team seats and more status pages. It suits developers, DevOps teams, agencies and site owners.
