Good to know
Is Site Patrol cheaper than UptimeRobot?
For small sites, usually. Pro is £5 a month or £50 a year for 20 websites checked every minute. UptimeRobot's Solo plan starts at €144 a year for 10 monitors. UptimeRobot's free plan is bigger than ours, though.
Can I bring my UptimeRobot monitors across?
There's no one-click import yet. Adding a website takes a few seconds, and developers can add lots at once with our API.
Should I run both for a while?
That's a good idea. Run them side by side for a week, check you're happy with the alerts, then cancel the old one.
