Why we built Uptimecheck
After years of using monitoring tools that were clunky, outdated or priced per seat and per page, we decided to build the tool we wanted ourselves. Uptimecheck started in 2018 as a way to check websites every minute and send an alert when something broke.
It has grown into one account for everything a website depends on: HTTP(S), ping and port checks, multi-step flows for logins and checkouts, cron jobs, SSL certificates, domains with SPF, DKIM and DMARC, DNS records with change history, page speed with Google Lighthouse, the status of 31 services such as Klarna and Shopify, and server resources on Linux, macOS and Windows.
Uptimecheck is built for agencies and online shops. The app and its database are hosted in Stockholm, Sweden, backups are kept in Stockholm and in the EU, and checks run from Stockholm too.
Status pages that tell you who is watching
When something does go wrong, a status page with your logo answers the question before it reaches your inbox. Every status page includes visitor statistics: visits by country, referrer and device, counted without cookies and without storing IP addresses, so you can see how many people check during an incident.
How we work
- We focus on developer experience, clean design and features that work without a manual.
- We keep pricing fixed per plan, in euros, billed monthly or yearly, without charging for every team member or status page.
- We give every new account a 14-day free trial of Professional with no credit card, so you can judge the product on your own sites. The live demo needs no account at all.
What we do not do
We do not sell, trade or rent your personal information, and we only promise features that exist in the product today. When something is not available yet, we say so.
Today more than 65,000 companies, from one-person projects to agencies managing hundreds of client sites, rely on Uptimecheck to know first when something goes wrong.
