Our take
Pick Healthchecks if operators who will stay on Hobbyist at $0 while they add a first Product Sync check, then Supporter at $5 (same limits, support the project) or Business at $20 — not Business Plus $80 unless they need that printed tier. Pick OneUptime if sRE / indie teams who will self-host at $0, or stay on Cloud Free at $0 (1 status page, 100 subscribers, unlimited manual monitors) and add $1 active monitors

Free plan
Healthchecks $0
OneUptime $0 · rEADME: “self-host for free.” Helm chart and Docker/Podman install. Enterprise / air-gapped is a sales path — do not invent that dollar. Microsoft Marketplace $0.10/user/hour appeared on the self-hosted marketing page as a cloud-bill SKU, not the GitHub installer
