Pricing: ePulz.io vs UptimeRobot (as of June 2026)
UptimeRobot's strongest card is its free plan: 50 monitors with a 5-minute check interval and a basic status page. If you only need simple HTTP checks and can accept up to 5 minutes of detection delay, it is genuinely hard to beat, and we say that as a competitor. Paid plans, verified in June 2026: Solo costs $8 per month ($7 with annual billing) and brings 60-second checks, Team costs $34 per month ($29 annually) with 100 monitors and 3 login seats, and Enterprise costs $64 per month ($54 annually) with 30-second intervals and 200 monitors.
ePulz.io has no permanent free tier, but its paid plans start lower and include more out of the box. Standard costs 4 € per month and covers HTTP, SSL and domain expiry monitoring with e-mail and Telegram notifications, status page subscribers and 30-day history. Pro costs 9 € per month and adds 2-minute intervals, visual checks and 90-day history. Business costs 27 € per month with 1-minute intervals, 365-day history and a monthly SLA report.
The practical difference: every paid ePulz.io plan already includes checks from 3 EU probes with 2-of-3 confirmation, public status pages and a REST API, so the price does not creep up as you grow. UptimeRobot is cheaper if the free plan covers your needs; once you need 1-minute checks and team features, the comparable tiers cost about the same as ePulz.io or more.
When to choose ePulz.io
- You need visual check beyond basic HTTP checks
- You want multi-region cross-check without an Enterprise tier

- • The free tier (50 monitors, 5 min) covers your needs
- • You need monitoring from more than 12 global regions

Run both services in parallel for a week
Keep UptimeRobot active while ePulz.io collects its first data. Compare notifications from both sides: ePulz.io confirms every outage from 2 of 3 EU probes, so you can verify that no false alarms appear before you switch.

Switch notifications and cancel the old account
Point your channels (e-mail, Telegram, webhook, Slack, MS Teams) at ePulz.io, recreate your status page and invite its subscribers, then downgrade UptimeRobot to the free plan or cancel it completely.
Frequently asked questions
Is ePulz.io a good UptimeRobot alternative?
Yes, if you want an EU-hosted alternative that includes more per euro: 12 monitor types, visual checks, domain expiry monitoring, a LAN agent and native Telegram alerts. UptimeRobot remains the better choice if a permanent free plan is your main requirement.
How do ePulz.io and UptimeRobot prices compare?
As of June 2026, UptimeRobot Solo costs $8 and Team $34 per month. ePulz.io starts at 4 € per month, and the Business plan with 1-minute checks and 365-day history costs 27 € per month. UptimeRobot also offers a free plan with 5-minute checks, which ePulz.io does not.
How hard is it to migrate from UptimeRobot?
Usually under an hour: export your monitors via the UptimeRobot API, import them into ePulz.io as a CSV file and connect your notification channels. We recommend running both services in parallel for a week. The 7-day free trial requires no credit card.
What does ePulz.io not have compared to UptimeRobot?
ePulz.io has no permanent free tier, only the 7-day trial. UptimeRobot also checks from more locations worldwide, while ePulz.io uses 3 EU probes with 2-of-3 consensus. If you need a forever-free plan or probes outside Europe, UptimeRobot is the safer choice.
