Frequently asked questions

Common questions about switching from OpenStatus to UptimeEye.

How does pricing compare between OpenStatus and UptimeEye?

OpenStatus Starter is $30/month ($25 billed annually) for 20 monitors with 1-minute checks and 1 status page; extra status pages cost $20/month each, and 30-second checks come with the Pro plan at $100/month ($83 billed annually). UptimeEye Pro is €29/month and includes 50 monitors, 50 cron monitors, 30-second checks, 3 status pages, and 5 team members.

Isn't OpenStatus open source - and isn't that better?

OpenStatus is open source (AGPL-3.0) and available as a managed service or self-hosted - if self-hosting it is your plan, go for it. UptimeEye is a managed product with one bundled plan, EU data residency, and a German company behind it.

Does OpenStatus offer cron job monitoring?

OpenStatus's guide for migrating from Checkly lists heartbeat checks among the check types OpenStatus has no equivalent for. UptimeEye includes cron/scheduled task monitoring with dead man's switch alerts: 3 cron monitors free, 50 on Pro. If a backup or import job silently stops running, you'll know.

What about multi-step monitoring?

OpenStatus's guide for migrating from Checkly lists multi-step checks among the check types OpenStatus has no equivalent for. UptimeEye includes multi-step API flows with variable extraction on every plan - chain login → token → API call → assertion in one monitor, with 5 steps free and 10 steps on Pro.

Can I bring my status page subscribers?

Subscribers can't be transferred automatically between services, but you can announce the new status page URL on your old page before switching and via your usual channels. UptimeEye status pages support subscriber notifications so your audience stays informed.

Is there a free trial?

Yes - 14 days of Pro included, then free forever. No credit card. The free plan has 5 monitors, 3 cron monitors, 1 status page, multi-step flows, and all alert channels. Commercial use is allowed.
