An UptimeRobot alternative for agencies

According to UptimeRobot’s pricing page as of 4 Nov 2026, its Free plan includes 50 monitors checked every 5 minutes and one status page, for personal and commercial use. The paid plans are Solo at €9, Team at €35, and Scale at €65 a month with annual billing.

If all you need is to know whether a few dozen websites respond, and you don’t look after WordPress for anyone, UptimeRobot’s free plan covers that. It gives you more monitors for free than digiWatcher, whose Free plan covers 3 websites. The paid plans of both services are listed below; the per-monitor comparison is up to you.

digiWatcher is for people who look after client websites long term. On top of uptime checks, it brings three things into the same tool.

WordPress from the inside

With the digiWatcher Agent plugin, which is part of the paid plans, the agent reports every hour what you can’t see from outside: pending updates for core, plugins, and themes, the PHP version, scheduled tasks stuck for more than an hour, known plugin vulnerabilities from the public wpvulnerability.net database, and new administrators. By default the agent only reads. If the site’s administrator allows it, you can also run updates from digiWatcher, one website at a time. More on the WordPress management page.

A client portal

Each client can get their own login. They see only the websites you chose for them, shared care records, and a report for the period they select. They can’t change anything and have no access to your admin area. The number of client logins depends on the plan; Agency includes 200.

Monthly reports

A client report shows uptime and outages for the period. You share it with a link, and the Owner can set it to go out by email automatically on the first day of each month. More on the client reports page.

digiWatcher checks HTTP(S) addresses, keywords on a page, ping, TCP ports, and heartbeats from your cron jobs. For HTTP monitors it also watches SSL certificate validity and the domain registration expiry. An alert goes out only after consecutive failed checks (two by default), and the repeat check doesn’t wait for the next interval: it runs within 20 seconds, so a single network hiccup doesn’t wake anyone up.

Alerts go by email, Slack, Telegram, Microsoft Teams, Discord, Google Chat, Pushover, ntfy, or a webhook. Quiet hours hold back alerts at night, and maintenance windows pause checks and alerts during planned work, so they don’t spoil the uptime figures. Public status pages show 90-day uptime bars for the websites you pick, and each one comes with an uptime badge you can embed on a client’s site. See the website monitoring and status page pages.

digiWatcher sells plans for a number of monitors; in practice one website is usually one monitor. Start costs €12 a month for 10 monitors, Profi €32 for 30, and Agency €66 for 100. Paid plans check as often as every 30 s, the Free plan every 5 min.

Fully used, one monitor works out at €1.07 a month on Profi and €0.66 on Agency. digiWatcher is built for teams that use the WordPress agent, the client portal, and reports alongside uptime checks. All plans are on the pricing page. digiWatcher’s prices on this page come from its current price list: in euros where digiWatcher sells plans in euros, otherwise in Czech koruna (CZK). We don’t convert between currencies.

digiWatcher can import monitors from UptimeRobot. In Integrations and API, open Switching from UptimeRobot, paste a read-only API key, and load a preview. The key isn’t stored. You pick the monitors you want, and they’re saved as paused, so you can check settings and alert contacts before turning checks on. Your UptimeRobot account isn’t changed. Only the Owner can run the import.

The import carries over HTTP, ping, TCP port, and keyword monitors with their address, interval, method, expected status codes, and up to ten tags. Intervals are rounded up to what your plan supports. Uptime history, alert contacts, maintenance windows, and status pages don’t transfer, and heartbeat monitors aren’t imported yet. One load handles up to 1,000 monitors; you can also import a JSON file from the UptimeRobot CLI. Step-by-step instructions are in the import guide.
