What it is

A self-hosted monitoring dashboard that checks sites and services on a schedule and alerts you through chat apps or email.

Good for

Watching your own sites and servers with alerts, for free.

The catch

It runs on a server you maintain. If that server goes down, so does your monitor, so host it somewhere separate from what you watch.

Facts checked on 12 October 2026. We have not yet run a hands-on test of this tool. When we do, it gets a "Tested" mark here. Approximate US list prices for an individual plan, from third-party price trackers checked on 12 Oct 2026. Monthly billing where it exists. Regions, taxes and promotions change them. Confirm at the vendor before you decide.
