Slow checks miss short outages.
A five-minute interval cannot see a four-minute outage. Users saw the error page, your status page stayed green, and there is no record it ever happened.
Every service you depend on, checked continuously and alerted the second it goes wrong, so you hear about it before your users do.
Pings every five minutes miss the outage that lasted four. Alerts fire on every blip, so the real one gets ignored. HTTP lives in one tool, DNS and TCP in another, certificates in a spreadsheet. And when it finally breaks, the dashboard is on a laptop that is closed.

One slow response and the phone buzzes. After the tenth false alarm the channel is muted, and the real outage lands in the same muted channel.
HTTP in one tool, DNS in the registrar, ports in a cron job, certificate expiry in a spreadsheet. Nobody owns the whole picture, so nobody notices the gap.
HTTP, APIs, keywords, DNS, ports, schedulers, and heartbeats, all watched from a single app and classified the same way. One place to add a check, one place to look when something turns.
Every check is classified from real latency and response data, not a binary ping. When it is slow, UptimeX shows whether the network or your backend is dragging, so you fix the right thing.
Every plan includes a public status page: live monitor states, 90 days of uptime bars, incident timelines and scheduled maintenance, on a free uptimex.co subdomain or your own domain, with your logo and brand color, in light or dark.
A REST API and SDKs to manage monitors from code, and an MCP server so AI agents can query status, pause checks, and open incidents on their own.
UptimeX ships a remote MCP server. Add it to Claude Code or any MCP client with one URL and a project key, and the agent can list, create, test, pause and delete monitors on its own, scoped to that one project and nothing else.
See how UptimeX compares to the usual uptime monitors across check speed, monitor types, alerting, and what the free plan actually includes.
UptimeRobot
1-minute checks on the free plan. A native app, not a companion.
Better Stack
Uptime without the logging bundle, and without the price of one.
Pingdom
The same checks, a third state for slow, and no per-check pricing.
Uptime Kuma
The same open-source idea, hosted, with push to your phone and nothing to run.
UptimeX is an uptime monitoring service with apps for iPhone, iPad, and Android and a web dashboard. It watches your websites and APIs around the clock and tells you the moment they go down, slow down, or recover, with a latency breakdown that points to the cause.
Uptime monitoring is the practice of automatically checking a website or service on a schedule to confirm it's reachable and responding normally. When a check fails, you get alerted so you can fix the problem before your users notice.
Most monitors are binary, up or down. UptimeX adds a third state. Up means the service responded normally, slow means it responded but took longer than expected, and down means it failed or timed out. A slow state often warns you about a problem before it becomes a full outage.
Yes. Checks run on UptimeX's servers, not on your device, so monitoring continues 24/7 whether your phone is on, off, or out of signal. You still get a native push the moment a state changes.
Each check splits response time into two parts: connect time (how long it took to reach the server, mostly network) and TTFB, time to first byte (how long the server took to start responding). Comparing them tells you whether a slowdown is the network or your backend.
UptimeX monitors HTTP/HTTPS websites and APIs, keyword (page content), DNS records, and TCP ports, plus heartbeats for cron jobs and schedulers for tasks UptimeX triggers itself. Every check is classified as up, slow, or down.
Free monitors are checked every 5 minutes. Pro lowers that to 1-minute checks.
When a monitor changes state, UptimeX sends a native push notification to your phone or tablet, plus any email, Slack, Discord, or webhook channels you have added. Alerts fire on state changes, not on every check, so you're not spammed.
Before marking something down, UptimeX confirms the failure with a re-check rather than alerting on a single blip, so you only hear about genuine state changes.
UptimeX is free to start, with a set of monitors at 5-minute checks and native alerts. Pro unlocks more monitors and 1-minute checks. No credit card is required to begin.
UptimeX has native apps for iPhone, iPad, and Android, and a web dashboard at uptimex.co. One account keeps your monitors in sync across all of them.
Free to start. No credit card.
