What to weigh: HetrixTools vs Uptrack
These facts come from HetrixTools's public pricing and docs pages as of October 2026. Plans change often, so check their site before you decide.
1-minute minimum interval
HetrixTools checks every minute on every plan, including paid plans. Uptrack checks every 30 seconds on every plan.
Price for 50 monitors
HetrixTools Professional is $9.95/mo for 30 monitors. Uptrack Pro is $3/mo for 50 monitors.
Browser flows on the entry plan
Uptrack Pro includes 5 Playwright browser monitors for $3/mo. Each run follows a flow such as login or checkout and saves a screenshot at each step, so you see which step broke.
What Uptrack does differently
- Alert confirmation: Uptrack opens an incident only after 2-5 consecutive failed checks, and several check locations must confirm. One DNS timeout or CDN blip does not page you.
- 30-second checks on every plan: Pro is $3/mo for 50 monitors, Team is $20/mo for 200, Business is $79/mo for 1,000.
- Browser checks: Pro includes 5 Playwright monitors that run flows like login or checkout and save a screenshot at each step.
- Status pages on every plan: 1 on free, 5 on Pro, unlimited on Team and Business, with email subscriber notifications on paid plans.
- Escalation policies on Team and Business route an unacknowledged alert to the next person after a delay you set.
- 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 need blacklist monitoring alongside uptime checks, HetrixTools includes it on its free plan.
- If you need Spamhaus blocklist results, HetrixTools may serve you better. Spamhaus may not answer Uptrack's DNSBL lookups.
- If you need server metrics (CPU, RAM, disk, RAID health), HetrixTools has an agent-based server monitor. Uptrack monitors from outside.
- If you need SMTP monitoring, HetrixTools can check mail server authentication. Uptrack doesn't monitor SMTP.
- If you need more than 5 free monitors, HetrixTools offers 15 monitors at 1-minute checks. Uptrack's free plan is 5 monitors at 30 seconds from one location.
