UptimeWiz started as a personal frustration. We were paying for uptime monitoring tools that checked every 5 minutes, alerted on flickers, and charged $50/month for basic features. So we built something better.
Every developer has been there: you wake up to a Slack message from a customer saying your app is down. You check your monitoring tool — it shows everything green. Then you realize: your monitor checks every 5 minutes, and the outage resolved itself before the next check fired.
We set out to build an uptime monitoring service that actually works the way developers need it to. That means 1-minute checks on paid plans — not the 5-minute delays that miss real outages. Checking from multiple regions, not from a single server. And alerting only when there's a real problem — not on a blip that resolves in two seconds.
UptimeWiz runs on highly scalable cloud infrastructure with near-zero operational overhead, which means we can pass those cost savings directly to customers as low, predictable pricing.
A monitor that cries wolf is worse than no monitor. Every decision we make — from multi-region consensus to recovery confirmation — is designed to ensure every alert is real.
Enterprise-grade monitoring should not cost enterprise money. We believe developers and small teams deserve the same quality tools as Fortune 500 companies.
Every second of undetected downtime costs you users. We built for the fastest possible detection without sacrificing accuracy.
No opaque pricing, no dark patterns, no vendor lock-in. We publish our roadmap, pricing, and limitations openly.
