1. AI-powered monitoring

Use natural language to verify anything on your pages. Check if forms work, content exists, or validate complex states without scripting synthetic transactions.

2. Simple pricing

One price per site with all 15 check types included. No calculator needed. Uptime.com has 22 pricing tiers plus separate billing for status pages and RUM.

3. Full site crawling

We crawl your entire site to find broken links, mixed content, and sitemap issues automatically. Uptime.com monitors the specific URLs you configure.
