Looking for a UptimeRobot Alternative?
UptimeRobot is a solid, well-known uptime checker. Here's where it fits, where it doesn't, and where CloudStats goes further.
Try CloudStats FreeThe short version
UptimeRobot is built primarily for external uptime checks — is a URL responding or not. It's simple and has a generous free tier for that specific job. CloudStats covers the same uptime/ping checks, but adds real Linux server monitoring underneath — CPU, RAM, disk, and processes — which UptimeRobot doesn't do at all. If all you need is "tell me when my site is down," UptimeRobot is a fine, simple tool. If you're also responsible for the server the site runs on, you'll eventually need something that watches inside the box too.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is CloudStats a direct replacement for UptimeRobot?
For uptime and ping checks, yes. CloudStats also adds server-level monitoring UptimeRobot doesn't offer, so most users end up covering more ground, not just switching tools.
Can I migrate my monitors from UptimeRobot easily?
Yes, setting up equivalent HTTP and ping checks in CloudStats takes a few minutes per monitor.
Is CloudStats more expensive than UptimeRobot?
Pricing depends on the number of servers and checks you need — see the pricing page for current plans and the free tier.
