How this list is ordered: cheapest entry price first, using the lowest paid plan each vendor
published to a United States reader on the date shown, so every row is denominated the same way. Several of these tools
charge different amounts by country, so the figure you are shown may differ — the full comparisons carry all three
regions. We also track Cronitor, Pingdom, UptimeRobot in this category but hold no named plan ladder for them in US dollars yet, so they are left out rather than converted. Nothing on this page is ordered by commission. Some links are affiliate links; they earn us a
commission and change no number.
