Why teams switch

Reviewed

The whole site, every day

A daily scan follows your links and sitemap and reports broken links, missing files and mixed content, next to uptime and page speed.

Jobs and servers too

Cron job monitors with exit codes and output, and server monitoring on Linux, macOS and Windows.

Built for agencies

Projects per client, client dashboards and monthly client reports, and a status page per client.

A fixed price in euros

From €9 per month billed yearly or €12 billed monthly, excl. VAT, without extra charges per member or status page.

How to switch

  1. Start a free trial

    Create an account. The 14-day trial of Professional needs no credit card.

  2. Paste your websites

    Open Monitors › Import, choose Paste URLs and add your sites, up to 200 at a time, one per line. Pick a project per client.

  3. Run both side by side

    Nothing changes at Oh Dear. Compare the alerts on the same incidents for a week, then decide what to keep.

What you get with Uptimecheck

Uptimecheck watches everything a website depends on from one account: the site itself, the links and files on it, the jobs and servers behind it, and the status page customers read when something goes wrong.

  • Website and API checks every minute from Stockholm, with every failure confirmed by a second check and evidence on each incident
  • Broken link monitoring: a daily crawl for broken links, missing files and mixed content
  • Page speed with Google Lighthouse, on mobile and desktop
  • SSL certificate and domain expiry reminders, DNS monitoring with change history, and SPF, DKIM and DMARC checks
  • Cron job monitors with crontab schedules, start and finish pings, exit codes and output
  • Server monitoring on Linux, macOS and Windows
  • Status pages with subscribers, status updates and scheduled maintenance
  • Client dashboards and client reports for agencies

Switching from Oh Dear

Open Monitors › Import, choose Paste URLs and paste your website addresses, one per line; write a name and a comma before an address to name it. Put each client’s sites in their own project. Then add what each site needs: a broken link scan, page speed, a cron job monitor or a status page.

A fair comparison

We reviewed this page on October 20, 2026. Check Oh Dear’s current plans and features, then compare them with our feature comparison. The easiest test is to run both on the same sites during the 14-day trial, or to look around the live demo first.

Common questions

Can I import my Oh Dear sites?

Not directly. Paste your website addresses under Monitors › Import › Paste URLs, up to 200 at a time, one per line with an optional name before a comma, and turn on the broken link scan for the sites that need it.

How often are broken links checked?

Once a day, up to the page limit you choose (50, 100, 250 or 500 pages), and you can start a scan yourself at any time, for example right after a deploy.

Where is my data?

In Stockholm, Sweden, with a Swedish company. Checks run from Stockholm, and status pages count visitors without cookies.

How do the two compare on price?

Pricing models differ and change over time. Check Oh Dear’s current plans and compare them with the Uptimecheck pricing page.

Downtime is obsolete.
