Uptrack vs New Relic

What to weigh: New Relic vs Uptrack
These facts come from New Relic's public pricing and docs pages as of October 2026. Plans change often, so check their site before you decide.
Per-check pricing
Beyond 500 free checks a month, New Relic bills $0.005 per synthetic check. One monitor checked every minute from one location runs about 43,200 checks per 30 days, or about $216. Uptrack Pro checks 50 monitors every 30 seconds for $3/mo.
Per-user pricing
New Relic bills users: $49/mo per core user, and full platform users on Standard cost $10 for the first and $99 for each additional user. Uptrack plans include seats: 3 on Pro, 5 on Team, 15 on Business.
1-minute minimum interval
New Relic synthetic monitors run at most once per minute. Uptrack checks every 30 seconds on every plan.
What Uptrack does differently
- Flat-rate pricing with no per-seat or per-check charges.
- 30-second checks on every plan, from $3/mo for 50 monitors.
- Status pages included on every plan.
- Simple setup in minutes. No agents, no NRQL queries, no quota math.
- Alert confirmation with 2-5 consecutive failed checks.
- 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 full APM with distributed tracing, error tracking, and code-level performance analysis.
- If you need Real User Monitoring (RUM) for frontend performance from real browser sessions.
- If you need to correlate uptime with application metrics, logs, and traces in one platform.
- If your team already uses New Relic and you want everything in one observability suite.
- If your uptime needs fit in 500 checks a month, New Relic's free tier may cover them.
