Real Pricing Comparison

OpsPulse Pro

$9/mo
25 monitors, unlimited alerts, email included

UptimeRobot Pro

$7/mo
50 monitors, but limited SMS, per-seat for team

The catch: UptimeRobot's $7/mo tier only includes 10 SMS credits. Need more team members? That's extra. Need webhooks? Upgrade to Business at $19/mo.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is OpsPulse really free? +

Yes. The Starter plan includes 5 monitors with unlimited Telegram alerts, forever. No credit card required. Upgrade when you need more monitors or email/webhook alerts.

What's "fair pricing"? +

We charge based on how many monitors you have, not how many people receive alerts. Add your whole team, your on-call rotation, your client — no per-seat fees.

How does false alert reduction work? +

You set a failure threshold (default: 2 consecutive failures). A single timeout won't wake you up at 3am. Real outages still get instant alerts.

Can I use a custom domain for status pages? +

Custom domains (CNAME) are available on the Business plan. All plans include customizable public status pages at orionapps.org/status/your-id.

Do you have an API? +

Yes. Full REST API access on all plans. View the docs.
