What to weigh: Pingdom vs Uptrack
These facts come from Pingdom's public pricing and docs pages as of October 2026. Plans change often, so check their site before you decide.
Pricing by number of checks
Pingdom's price grows with the number of checks, from $10/mo. Uptrack Pro includes 50 monitors at 30-second checks for $3/mo.
How downtime is confirmed
Pingdom marks a failure "unconfirmed down" until a second probe also fails. Uptrack waits for 2-5 consecutive failed checks, and its EU, US, and India regions must agree.
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: 2-5 consecutive failed checks, and Uptrack's 3 regions must agree. Time-based confirmation filters out short blips at one location.
- Flat pricing: $3/mo for 50 monitors at 30-second checks. The price does not grow with each monitor you add, up to the plan limit.
- 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: 5 on Pro, unlimited on Team and Business, with email subscriber notifications.
- 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 transaction checks from many locations, Pingdom has 100+ probe servers. Uptrack checks from 3 regions.
- If you need real user monitoring (RUM) or visitor analytics, Pingdom has this built in.
- If you already use other SolarWinds products, Pingdom fits into that stack.
- If you need unlimited users, Pingdom does not cap users. Uptrack plans include 3, 5, or 15 seats.
