BetterUptime is a great product — but it starts at $20/mo and limits free features significantly. StatusKit.Pro gives you real uptime monitoring and status pages starting at $0.

Monitor 1 service, get a public status page, and use it forever free. Not a 14-day trial — actually free.
Business plan users get 30-second check intervals — faster than BetterUptime's 1-minute minimum on paid plans.
Full REST API on every plan. Automate monitor management and integrate status data into your own tooling.
Checks run on Cloudflare's global edge network — not a single datacenter. Resilient by design.
Yes. One monitor with 5-minute checks plus a public status page covers a lot of solo and small-team use cases. Upgrade only when you need more monitors or faster checks.
Not yet. Current alert channels are email (Pro+) and webhooks (Business). SMS and Slack native integration are on the roadmap.
On-call scheduling is not currently available. StatusKit.Pro focuses on monitoring, status pages, and incident communication. For on-call workflows, pair it with PagerDuty via webhook alerts.
Export your monitor list from BetterUptime and re-create them in StatusKit.Pro's dashboard. Takes about 10 minutes for most teams.
