Uptrack vs Checkly
Checkly is built for engineering teams: Playwright browser checks, API checks, and monitoring as code in CI/CD. Uptrack is a simpler option for uptime and basic browser flows, from $3/mo.
Every Uptrack plan checks at 30 seconds — from $3/mo. Alerts fire only after 2–5 consecutive failed checks. 30-day money-back guarantee.

What to weigh: Checkly vs Uptrack
These facts come from Checkly's public pricing and docs pages as of October 2026. Plans change often, so check their site before you decide.
Price for uptime monitoring
Checkly Starter is $24/mo for 50 uptime monitors at 1-minute checks. Uptrack Pro is $3/mo for 50 monitors at 30-second checks.
Usage-based overage
Checkly plans include a set number of API and browser check runs. Runs above that cost $2.60 per 10,000 API runs and $6.50 per 1,000 browser runs. Uptrack has no overage: browser checks run at a fixed frequency per plan.
30-second checks start on Team
Checkly's Team plan ($64/mo) is the first with 30-second checks. Every Uptrack plan checks every 30 seconds.
What Uptrack does differently
- 30-second checks on every plan, from $3/mo for 50 monitors.
- Flat pricing with no overage. Browser check frequency is fixed per plan, so the bill does not grow with runs.
- Status pages on every plan: 5 on Pro, unlimited on Team and Business.
- Browser runs show per-run console logs (errors highlighted) and network requests (4xx/5xx flagged), so you see what broke, not only that it broke.
- Alert confirmation with 2-5 consecutive failed checks to reduce false positives.
- REST API and an MCP server, so you can manage monitors from scripts or AI assistants such as Claude.
Uptrack might not be for you
We believe honesty builds more trust than claiming to be the best at everything.
- If you want browser checks written as Playwright test code that lives next to your application code, Checkly is built for that.
- If you want browser checks authored as code with Checkly's mature constructs. Uptrack has a simpler YAML CLI (apply/export), not a code-first checks framework.
- If you need check intervals under 30 seconds, Checkly Enterprise checks as often as every second.
- If you need deep CI/CD integration with GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Vercel deployments.
- If you need a free plan, Checkly Hobby includes 10 uptime monitors plus a monthly allowance of API and browser runs. Uptrack is paid only.
