Uptrends
Uptrends monitors websites, web applications, APIs and servers for availability and performance. Synthetic checks run from more than 230 ISP-based locations, with private locations also available. Monitor types include uptime, browser, transaction and API checks; customers allocate monitoring credits across types, and credits do not expire during the annual term. The service supports HTTP/HTTPS, SMTP, POP3, IMAP, Ping, DNS, FTP, Connect, SQL and MySQL. It can automate multi-step checks for identity-driven journeys using SSO or MFA. Alerts can go through email, SMS/text, phone/voice, mobile push, messaging and incident platforms, webhooks or the API. iOS and Android apps show monitoring data and can send push notifications. Core costs $42 a month with annual billing and includes 10 users, US and EU checkpoint regions, uptime checks every two minutes, browser checks every 15 minutes, ticket support and 180 days of data retention. Pro costs $60 a month with annual billing. There is no free plan, but a 30-day trial is available.
