Why teams upgrade from Uptime Kuma to professional monitoring
Tired of maintaining monitoring infrastructure?Uptime Kuma is great for getting started, but self-hosting means server maintenance, updates, backups, and dealing with your monitoring going down when you need it most.
Need more than single-location monitoring?OnlineOrNot checks from multiple global locations and verifies issues before alerting. No more false positives from your single-server setup having connectivity issues.
Growing beyond solo development? OnlineOrNot includes team collaboration, shared dashboards, advanced notification routing, and professional status pages - features that would require significant custom development in Uptime Kuma.

OnlineOrNot has been absolutely fantastic for my bot, Noti. It completely transformed the way I monitor online services.
The real-time notifications keep me in the loop about any downtime, allowing me to take immediate action. If you're looking for a reliable way to monitor your project's status, I highly suggest using OnlineOrNot.

I tried @RozenMD's OnlineOrNot uptime monitoring, and for a few days got notifications of 2min down time.
I thought that OnlineOrNot was wrong as Uptime Robot wasn't reporting anything.
Turns out it was the other way around.
Khaled BentoumiFounder of Data to Page
We've been using OnlineOrNot and it has been a life saver.
It, by far, has been one of the most responsive uptime services we've tried and it only gets better and better as time goes on.

I just set up some site aliveness checks for @Archium_io with @RozenMD's OnlineOrNot.
Took me less than five minutes and it was completely self-explanatory, not to mention gorgeous. Seriously good experience.
Great job, Max! 👏👏
