## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-11 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's what I'd recommend, in order:
> 
> 1. **UptimeRobot**: The cheapest way to start. The free plan covers 50 monitors at 5-minute intervals, which is the most generous free tier I found. The catch: one source says the free tier is for non-commercial use only, so a startup with revenue should expect to pay. The Solo plan costs $7-9/month (sources disagree on the exact price). ([UptimeRobot](https://uptimerobot.com/knowledge-hub/monitoring/11-best-uptime-monitoring-tools-compared/), [StackScored](https://www.stackscored.com/pricing/uptime-monitoring/uptimerobot/), [SigNoz](https://signoz.io/comparisons/uptimerobot-alternatives/))
> 
> 2. **Better Stack**: The one I'd pick for most startups past the hobby stage. It puts uptime checks, on-call alerts, status pages and logs in one product, so you won't need to switch tools as you grow. The free plan gives you 10 monitors, 10 heartbeat checks and a status page, with 3-minute checks. Paid plans start around $29/month and add 30-second checks.
