Where UptimeRobot is better
- 50 free monitors instead of 3 projects.
- Checks every 60 seconds or faster on paid plans.
- Many check types: keyword, ping, port, DNS, cron and checks from several regions.
- Status pages, SMS and voice calls, and mobile apps.
Where Infra Tracker fits better
- SSL and domain expiry checks on the free plan.
- Telegram alerts on the free plan.
- A daily digest that arrives even when all is green, so silence means the monitor broke.
- Monthly cost per project and a total for your portfolio.
Which one to choose
Choose UptimeRobot if you have many sites, need fast checks, status pages or SMS alerts.
Choose Infra Tracker if you have a few side projects and the real risk is an expired certificate or a forgotten domain.
FAQ
Can I monitor subdomains?
Yes. Each project is a URL, so api.example.com and status.example.com are two projects. Domain expiry is read from the main domain.
Do I need to install an agent?
No. You add a name and a URL, and the checks start right away.
