Site24x7 alternatives, ranked by entry price
Every price below comes from the vendor's own public pricing page, with the date we last checked it. We have included ourselves in the list on the same terms — if a cheaper tool covers what you need, take the cheaper tool. Prices last verified 18 September 2026.
| Tool | Starts at | Free plan | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wachete | From $5.40/mo | Free plan: 5 static pages, 1 dynamic page, checks every 24 hours, 12 months of history | Wachete counts static and dynamic pages separately, and dynamic pages (the JavaScript-rendered ones most modern sites use) are rationed hard: 1 on Starter, 2 on Standard, 10 on Premium. |
| HetrixTools | From $9.95/mo | Free plan: 15 uptime + 15 server monitors, 1-minute checks, 4 locations, 3 white-label domains, 15-day activity log | Plan tiers are limited by quantity, not features: 1-minute checks, SSL expiry, domain expiry and nameserver change detection are included even on the free plan, so paying only buys more monitors, locations and credits. |
| ChangeTower | From $12/mo | No free plan published | The Lite plan at $12/mo only checks each page once every 24 hours, so a defacement, price change or removed legal notice can sit live for a full day before ChangeTower flags it. |
| Lemwatch(us) | From $19/mo | Free plan: 10 sites, no card required | Newer than the incumbents, and our fastest check interval is slower than the sub-minute options in this list — if you need sub-minute detection, pick one of those instead. |
| Checkly | From $24/mo | Free plan: 10 uptime monitors, 10k API + 1k browser check runs/mo, 2-minute checks, 6 locations | Checkly bills consumption, not monitors: API checks and browser (Playwright) checks draw on separate run pools, and retries plus multi-location runs multiply how fast you burn them. |
| StatusCake | From $24.49/mo | Free plan: 3 uptime monitors, 15-minute test intervals, single personal login, 1 email contact | StatusCake prices by the visitor's region: the pricing page renders the amount in a local currency chosen from your location, so the figure a UK or EU buyer sees for Superior is not the US dollar figure — confirm the currency on the plan card before you budget. |
| Better Stack | From $25/mo | Free plan: 10 monitors or heartbeats, 1 status page, around 3-minute checks | There is no simple three-tier plan — you assemble a bill from units: $25 per 10 monitors, $20 per 10 heartbeats, $34 per responder seat, plus per-GB ingestion for logs, metrics and traces. |
| Hyperping | From $29/mo | Free plan: 20 monitors, 5-minute checks, 1 basic status page, 1 server agent, 1 seat | Seats are capped per plan and charged individually beyond the cap: an extra user is $7/mo on Essentials, $9/mo on Pro and $12/mo on Business, so a growing rota inflates the bill without adding a single monitor. |
| Uptrends | From $46/mo | No free plan published | The advertised $42/month Core price is annual billing; paying monthly costs $46, and both are "from" prices that rise as you add monitors beyond the bundled allowance. |
| DebugBear | From $69/mo | No free plan published | DebugBear bills synthetic test volume rather than sites: the Startup allowance of 4,000 tests a month equates to roughly 125 pages checked daily, so adding pages or testing more often eats the same budget. |
Prices are the cheapest published paid plan in USD, before tax. Vendors that only quote on application are listed last. See each tool's pricing breakdown for tier-by-tier limits and billing gotchas.
Also worth a look (we have not verified their current prices, so we quote none here): UptimeRobot, Pingdom, Datadog Synthetics, New Relic Synthetics, GTmetrix, Oh Dear, Visualping, Hexowatch, Distill.io.
