openstatus vs Uptimia

Openstatus is an open-source platform for uptime monitoring and status pages. It checks websites, APIs, and services from 28 regions across multiple cloud providers. Automation options include a CLI, typed API with OpenAPI, Node SDK, MCP server, and Terraform management. Status pages can support custom domains, themes, subscribers, locale switching, and maintenance status, depending on the plan. The free Hobby plan includes one monitor, one status page, three components, and checks no more often than every 10 minutes. Starter costs $30 a month, or $300/year ($25/mo) when billed annually, with 20 monitors, one-minute checks, a custom domain, and subscribers. The platform is available on web and can be self-hosted with Docker under the AGPL-3.0 license. Paid plans include selected notifications such as Slack, email, webhook, WhatsApp, PagerDuty, and OpsGenie. Openstatus was founded in 2023 and is built by a self-funded two-person team.

Uptimia is a web monitoring service for websites and online services. It checks uptime, SSL expiry, keywords, servers, transactions, page speed, and real-user activity; transaction checks use a real Chrome browser for login, sign-up, or checkout flows. The free plan covers one website checked as often as every five minutes, but excludes transaction, page-speed, and real-user monitoring. Paid plans start at $9 a month billed annually, and annual billing saves up to 13%. A 30-day trial requires no credit card and moves to the free plan unless upgraded. Uptimia lists 179 monitoring locations and alerts through email, SMS, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, Telegram, PagerDuty, WhatsApp, and webhooks. Public status pages can share service status and subscriber alerts. A REST API exposes monitors, incidents, and logs through an API key. Basic checks run every minute at fastest; Professional and Enterprise support 30-second uptime checks. Use cases include WordPress, Shopify, SaaS, e-commerce, and hosting.
