Choosing well
Check where it runs
The listed platforms include web, API, Linux, self-hosted, Windows and iOS. Android support is not included in the supplied platform facts, so verify it before relying on a phone app.
Choose a hosted service or self-hosted software according to how you want to operate the monitoring system.
Compare free access and trials
A free plan is available from items in this category, while other services use paid plans or freemium pricing. Check what the free plan includes before moving monitors.
Trial periods vary. Listed examples include Cronitor with a 14-day trial, Gatus with a 7-day trial, HostTracker with a 30-day trial and NodePing with a 15-day trial.
Match checks to your service
Compare the minimum check interval, monitor limit and check locations. These settings affect how often a service checks an endpoint and where those checks run.
API monitoring is a separate comparison point from basic status checks, so confirm that it covers the interface you need.

Check the alert channels offered by a tool and whether it provides a hosted status page. A hosted page can give visitors a place to see service status while alerts go to your chosen channels.
