Why the models rank UptimeRobot — on best uptime monitor for indie hackers
“Most generous free tier (50 monitors, commercial use caveats noted but widely used), dead-simple setup, reliable basic HTTP/keyword/SSL checks, status pages, broad alerts, very low paid entry (~$7-8/mo for more/faster checks) — proven real-world staple delivering maximum monitors per dollar for low-stakes indie projects.”
