When AlertsDown Might Be Better
You Need Faster Checks
AlertsDown paid plans offer 30-second check intervals. Detect issues twice as fast as UptimeRobot's 1-minute minimum.
You Prefer Simplicity
UptimeRobot has grown complex over the years. AlertsDown focuses on doing uptime monitoring well, without feature bloat.
When UptimeRobot Might Be Better
We believe in honest comparisons. UptimeRobot offers 50 free monitors compared to our 3, making it better if you need to monitor many sites on a budget. They also have more integrations with third-party tools and a longer track record in the market.
Choose AlertsDown if you value simplicity, need WhatsApp alerts, or want faster check intervals. Choose UptimeRobot if you need lots of free monitors or specific integrations we don't offer yet.

UptimeRobot Alternative FAQ
Is AlertsDown better than UptimeRobot?

Yes, you can set up the same monitors in AlertsDown. Simply add your URLs to AlertsDown and configure your preferred notification channels. There's no automatic import, but setup takes just minutes.
Does AlertsDown have a free plan like UptimeRobot?
Yes! AlertsDown offers a free plan with 3 monitors, 5-minute check intervals, and email plus Telegram alerts. While UptimeRobot offers more free monitors, AlertsDown's free tier is enough for most small sites.
Why does AlertsDown have fewer free monitors?
We focus on quality over quantity. Our free tier includes features like Telegram alerts that others charge for. We'd rather give you 3 well-monitored sites than 50 with limitations.

AlertsDown supports Email, SMS, Telegram, and WhatsApp. WhatsApp support is a key differentiator - UptimeRobot doesn't offer WhatsApp alerts at all.
