Why teams look for a Pingdom alternative
Pingdom has monitored websites for many years. Teams that look for an alternative usually want the rest of their stack in the same place: checkout flows, cron jobs, DNS records, servers and a status page their customers can check.
That is the gap Uptimecheck fills. Every plan includes status pages with visitor statistics, SSL and domain monitoring and email reports, and the price stays fixed as your team grows.
What Uptimecheck covers
- Website and API checks with your own method, headers and body, keyword and JSON checks, and slow-response alerts
- Checks every minute on every plan from Stockholm, Sweden, with every failure confirmed by a second check
- Incidents with evidence: the failing response and a screenshot or the network path
- Multi-step flows for logins and checkouts, optionally in a real browser
- Page speed with Google Lighthouse and Core Web Vitals, every day
- Cron job monitors that alert you when a scheduled job does not run
- SSL certificate and domain expiry reminders, with SPF, DKIM and DMARC checks
- DNS monitoring with change history
- CPU, memory, disk and network on Linux, macOS and Windows
- Status pages with subscribers and visitor statistics, and a REST API and MCP server on Professional and Business
Who Uptimecheck suits
Uptimecheck is built for teams that want one account for everything a website depends on: agencies with many client sites, online stores, SaaS products and developers who look after servers and scheduled jobs. Projects keep work separate, and reports export to CSV and go out by email every week or month.
Switching from Pingdom
Create an API token in Pingdom (Integrations › The Pingdom API, with Read access). In Uptimecheck, open Monitors › Import, choose Pingdom and paste the token. You see every check before anything is created: HTTP, keyword, ping, port and DNS checks come over with their intervals, paths, headers and texts to look for. Anything that cannot be imported is listed with the reason.
Nothing changes at Pingdom, and the token is never stored. Connect the alert channels your team already uses, publish a status page, run both services for a week and switch when you are confident.
