Is Webalert's uptime monitor really free?

Yes. The Webalert Free plan is free forever — no credit card required and no trial countdown. You get 3 monitors with 10-minute check intervals from multiple global regions, 1 public status page, and email + Slack alerts. Paid plans add more monitors, 1-minute checks, SMS/Discord/Teams alerts, additional status pages, and SLA tracking.

What types of monitors are included on the free plan?

The free plan includes HTTP/HTTPS website and API monitors, TCP port checks, DNS lookups, ICMP ping, and heartbeat/cron monitors. You can mix monitor types across your 3 free slots — for example one HTTP check for your site, one DNS check for your domain, and one heartbeat for a background job. SSL certificate expiry alerts are included for HTTPS monitors.

How quickly will I be alerted if my website goes down?

On the free plan, checks run every 10 minutes from multiple regions, so an outage is detected within roughly 10 minutes. When a check fails, Webalert re-verifies from another region to filter out false positives, then sends an alert to your configured email and Slack channels within 1–2 minutes of the confirmed failure. Upgrade to Starter (€9/month) for 1-minute checks if faster detection matters.

Do I need a credit card to start?

No. Sign up with just an email address. The free plan never requires payment information, and you can stay on it indefinitely.

Can I upgrade later if I outgrow the free plan?

Yes. You can upgrade to Starter (€9/month — 10 monitors, 1-minute checks, SMS/Discord/Teams alerts, 2 status pages) or Business (€29/month — 50 monitors, 5 status pages with custom domains, SLA tracking, anomaly detection) at any time. All your existing monitors and alert rules carry over automatically. Paid plans include a 7-day free trial.

What's the difference between Webalert's free plan and other free uptime monitors?

Webalert's free plan includes Slack alerts (often paid-only elsewhere), a public status page, and supports the same five monitor types as our paid plans — HTTP/HTTPS, TCP, DNS, ping, and heartbeat — not just basic HTTP. Checks run from multiple global regions with downtime re-verified from a second region before alerting to reduce false positives. Check frequency is 10 minutes on free, with 1-minute checks available on paid plans.

What is a free uptime monitor?

A free uptime monitor is a service that checks whether your website, API, or server is reachable on a regular schedule and notifies you the moment something fails — at no cost. It removes the guesswork of "is my site down right now?" and gives you a written record of every outage.

Webalert's free plan runs HTTP, TCP, DNS, ping, or heartbeat checks against your endpoints every 10 minutes from multiple global regions. When a check fails, we re-verify from another region to rule out false positives, then alert you via Slack or email within 1–2 minutes of a confirmed outage. Upgrade to Starter for 1-minute checks when you need faster detection.

What's included in the free plan

Everything you need to know the moment your site goes down — at no cost, no trial countdown, no card on file.

3 free monitors: Mix and match across HTTP, TCP, DNS, ping, or heartbeat monitor types.
10-minute check intervals: Every monitor is checked every 10 minutes around the clock. Upgrade to Starter for 1-minute checks.
Multi-region checks: Checks run from US, EU, and APAC so regional outages don't go unnoticed.
Email + Slack alerts: Get notified in your inbox or the Slack channel of your choice when a confirmed outage occurs.
1 public status page: Publish a branded status page showing real-time uptime and incidents — included on free.
Downtime confirmation: Failed checks are re-verified from another region before alerting, so transient hiccups don't wake you up.
SSL expiry alerts: Get notified before your HTTPS certificate expires — included for every HTTPS monitor on free.
Public uptime badges: Embed a live uptime badge on your README or website to show your reliability publicly.
30-day data retention: View incident history, response times, and uptime percentage for the last 30 days on every monitor.
