Tenium next to the tools you are probably looking at
13 comparisons, written to help you pick the right tool, including when that is not us.
How we compare
Every uptime monitor does the basic job: request a URL on a schedule and tell you when it fails. The differences are in the edges. How many locations confirm a failure, what a second team member costs, whether a status page can drop the vendor's logo, whether a client can get a PDF with your brand on it. Each comparison page lines up the plan that does the same job as ours, shows the list prices as published, and then lists, separately, what the other product does better than we do.
That last part is deliberate. A tool built for engineering teams with log management and on-call rotas will beat us for an engineering team. A self-hosted monitor costs nothing in licence fees and beats us on that single point. Hosted WordPress management suites cover updates and backups that we do not touch. We would rather you pick the right product than switch and come back.
Our price position is simple and checkable: On published list prices, Pro at $29 is about 35% cheaper than UptimeRobot Team (about $44). Every comparison page shows the arithmetic. We also sell agency features that most tools do not, namely client workspaces with client logins and per-client reports sent automatically on the first of the month. Prices below are converted at roughly 1.08 USD per EUR, so treat the percentages as approximate, and check the competitor's own pricing page before deciding, since plans change.

Plans differ in more than price: seats, regions, included reports and alert channels vary, and the comparison pages go through them one by one. Figures are list prices without tax and without annual discounts.
Every tool in one table
Each cell is taken from that tool's comparison page, so the table cannot say more than the pages do. Pick the criteria you care about; a tool with nothing to compare on a row shows "See page".

What the same job costs elsewhere
Set your monitors and team size. Tenium is the cheapest paid plan that fits at 1-minute or faster checks; the other tools use the cheapest published plan that covers the same size.

Difference = 1 - Tenium price / their price in US dollars. Within 10% counts as the same.
“List price” is a published monthly price. “Estimate” is our arithmetic on several published prices, not a quote. “Server cost” is hosting only, the software is free.
All comparisons
One page per product, each with an honest list of where they win.
Tenium vs UptimeRobot
The most popular free uptime monitor. A big free plan and mobile apps, but no per-client workspaces: login seats are for your own team.
Tenium vs Better Stack
Uptime monitoring, incident management and log management for engineering teams. Excellent product, priced per monitor block, per responder and per white-label page.
Tenium vs Pingdom
SolarWinds-owned veteran with real-user monitoring and transaction checks. Priced for enterprise web teams; larger tiers are by quote.
Tenium vs StatusCake
UK-based monitor with a long-standing free tier and page-speed checks. Mid-range pricing; white-label reporting sits on higher plans.
Tenium vs Hyperping
Clean, well-designed monitoring and status pages. Good product; white-label sits on the $249 tier.
Tenium vs Oh Dear
Belgian all-in-one site monitor loved by Laravel developers. Per-site pricing adds up for agencies with dozens of small sites.
Tenium vs Cronitor
Started as cron monitoring, now does uptime and status pages. Per-monitor and per-user pricing.
Tenium vs Checkly
Monitoring as code with Playwright browser checks. Built for developers who want tests in a repo, not forms.
Tenium vs Uptime Kuma
Excellent open-source self-hosted monitor. Free software; you supply the server, the updates and the second location.
Tenium vs Atlassian Statuspage
The enterprise status page standard. Communicates incidents beautifully; does not monitor anything itself.
Tenium vs ManageWP
GoDaddy-owned WordPress management: updates, backups and client reports from inside the site. Uptime is an add-on.
Tenium vs Uptime.com
Established uptime and synthetic monitoring with transaction checks, real user monitoring, status pages and SMS and phone alerts. Only a starting price is public; the rest is a quantity selector.
Tenium vs Site24x7
All-in-one monitoring for websites, servers, networks and applications with a very large location list and a long add-on price list. Strong when you need more than uptime; heavier than most agencies need.
Moving from another tool
Switching is less work than it sounds. UptimeRobot accounts can be imported with a read-only API key, and for the other tools you export your monitors as CSV or JSON and import the list; the importer reads name, URL, type and interval where the file has them and shows a preview before it creates anything. Alert contacts are re-added by hand. Nothing at the source is deleted, so you can run both side by side for a week and compare. The import guide walks through each source, and our UptimeRobot alternatives round-up covers the wider field including tools we do not compete with.
Agencies who want the full picture should read the agency offer next, then the pricing page. If you prefer to see features before prices, start at the feature overview.
Questions about these comparisons
How are the prices compared?
Plan against closest plan, on published list prices. Where a vendor prices in euros, the amount is converted at about 1.08 dollars per euro and shown as approximate. Each page shows the arithmetic and the date the prices were checked, and prices that a vendor does not publish are marked as such instead of guessed.
When is Tenium not the right choice?
When you need SMS or phone-call alerts, a native mobile app, SSO or a SOC 2 report, none of which Tenium offers today. Checks also run only from the live regions listed on the checker IP page (Amsterdam and London today). Each comparison page lists where the other tool is stronger.
Can I move my monitors over?
Yes. UptimeRobot accounts can be imported with a read-only API key or a CSV export, and CSV, JSON or URL lists from other tools can be uploaded as files. You see a preview before anything is created, and nothing at the source is deleted.
