What to weigh: Statping-ng vs Uptrack
These facts come from the Statping-ng GitHub repository as of October 2026, and from Uptrack's pricing page.
Release activity
The latest Statping-ng release is v0.93.0 from June 2025, and the repository had no new commits after that as of October 2026. Check the repository before you rely on it for production monitoring.
Self-hosting upkeep
You run the server, updates, backups, and TLS. If that server goes down, its checks and alerts stop too.
Pre-1.0 versioning
Statping-ng is still versioned below 1.0. Read the release notes before each upgrade, especially for database changes.
What Uptrack does differently
- Nothing to host: no servers, containers, or backups to maintain. Uptrack runs on redundant, multi-node infrastructure.
- Alert confirmation with 2-5 consecutive failed checks before alerting, checked from 3 regions (EU, US, India).
- Browser checks: Pro includes 5 Playwright monitors that run flows like login or checkout and save a screenshot at each step.
- Team members with roles and permissions, included in every plan.
- 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 gRPC monitoring, Statping-ng has native gRPC health checks. Uptrack doesn't.
- If you want deeply customizable status page themes with SASS, Statping-ng's theming is more flexible than Uptrack's.
- If you want a plugin framework to extend monitoring with custom Go code, Statping-ng's plugin system allows deep customization.
- If you need UDP monitoring, Statping-ng supports it natively. Uptrack doesn't check UDP.
- If you're comfortable maintaining the software yourself, Statping-ng still works and is free to run.
- If you need to choose your own database backend (SQLite for small setups, MySQL for existing infrastructure), Statping-ng offers that flexibility.
