Oh Dear vs the competition

What we have that StatusCake doesn't

1. AI-powered monitoring

Use natural language to verify anything on your pages. Check if forms work, content exists, or validate complex page states. StatusCake doesn't offer this.

2. Full site crawling

We crawl your entire site daily to find broken links, mixed content, and sitemap issues. StatusCake only monitors the specific URLs you configure.

3. Lighthouse audits

Automated Core Web Vitals, SEO, accessibility, and performance tracking. Get alerted when scores drop before they impact rankings.
