OneUptime

What it is for

OneUptime is an uptime desk: you open a monitor, watch response time and incidents, and you can start Cloud Free at $0 (1 status page, 100 subscribers, unlimited manual monitors) or self-host the open-source platform at $0. Use it when the job is monitors you start at $0, not when you need a $20 chat seat.

What makes it unique: the cover is the official OneUptime monitor overview (Checkout API, uptime history, response-time chart, incidents, probe results) from the GitHub monitor-overview still — not a pricing card. The overview itself is ops of Monitors. HTTP vs heartbeat vs manual checks are ops of this.

Key features

• Monitors — the check you run (monitor still; pricing Active Monitors). One probe. Manual monitors are unlimited on Free; active monitors print $1/month each. Website / API / heartbeat variants are ops of this.
• Status pages — the public page subscribers read (pricing Status Page). A comms page, not a check. Free includes 1 status page and 100 subscribers. Growth is unlimited pages.
• Incidents — the outage record you open (pricing Incident Management). A ticket, not a probe. Timeline and status-page updates sit on this.
• On-call & alerts — the rotation that gets paged (on-call walkthrough; pricing On Call Rotation). A roster, not an incident. Email/webhook are printed free; SMS $0.10, WhatsApp $0.10/message, voice $0.10/min are meters on this, not extra desks.
• Self-host / Cloud — the platform you run for free (README “self-host for free”; Apache 2.0 + Enterprise ee/), or Cloud Free at $0 (pricing). A deploy, not a monitor. Logs / traces / metrics ingest at $0.10/GB (15-day retention) is a telemetry meter, not a fifth product. LLM tokens ($0.02/1k) are a SKU — do not count them.

SSO, dedicated AE, and multi-cloud sit on Scale ($99), not on Free.

Who it's for

Best fit: 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 until they need Growth at $22 for unlimited pages, on-call, and API access.

Pricing

Verified 2026-10-22 (Asia/Shanghai) from oneuptime.com/pricing. Cloud tiles print $0 / $22 / $99. The HTML document title says “Paid Plans From $22/User”; the Growth tile itself prints $22 without a second “/user” in the static body. Yearly-toggle dollars were not in the static HTML — do not invent them.

• Self-host (OSS) — $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.
• Free (Cloud) — $0. No card. 1 status page, 100 subscribers, unlimited manual monitors, active monitors $1/month, incident management, logs/traces/metrics, 5-business-day email support, no uptime SLA.
• Growth (Cloud) — $22 (14-day trial). Unlimited status pages and subscribers, on-call rotation and alerts, 5000+ integrations, API access, 1-business-day email, 99.9% uptime target.
• Scale (Cloud) — $99 (14-day trial). SSO, unlimited teams, advanced access control, 6-hour chat/email, dedicated AE, multi-cloud, 99.9% target.
• Enterprise — custom / contact sales. Confirm the live quote — do not invent an Enterprise dollar.

Add-on meters printed on the same page: telemetry $0.10/GB (15-day retention); SMS $0.10; WhatsApp $0.10; voice $0.10/min; LLM $0.02/1,000 tokens.

Confirm checkout; taxes follow your location.

Limitations / costs

• Free active monitors are $1/month each. Unlimited “manual” is not unlimited always-on probes.
• Growth is the $22 tile; Scale is $99. On-call, unlimited status pages, and API access are not on Free.
• Telemetry is $0.10/GB. A chatty OTel exporter is a bill next to the plan tile.
• A monitor desk, not a traces-first APM. For OSS APM/logs see SigNoz. For a thinner public status page see OpenStatus.

Alternatives

• OpenStatus — public status + probes when you will not run OneUptime’s incident/on-call desk.
• SigNoz — traces-first observability when the job is APM, not an uptime monitor overview.
• Umami — website analytics when you need pageviews, not probes.
