Uptime FAQ

Uptime pricing architecture

How do check frequencies affect uptime monitoring pricing?

Most uptime providers base tier limits on check intervals. While 5-minute or 1-minute monitoring intervals are often included in standard plans, 30-second or 10-second checks require higher plan tiers or additional per-monitor fees as server load increases on the vendor's side.

Why do per-seat licenses make incident management expensive?

Platforms like PagerDuty charge on a per-user basis for advanced incident routing and on-call escalation schedules. For engineering teams with broad on-call rotations, per-seat multipliers can easily exceed the cost of the underlying monitoring infrastructure.

What is the cost difference between public and private status pages?

Basic public status pages are frequently bundled into entry tiers. However, custom domains, SSL certificates, private password-protected status pages, and white-label branding typically require upgrading to business or enterprise plans.
