Every plan. Every feature.
No exceptions.

Most uptime tools charge extra for status pages, cap your team seats, or skip server metrics entirely. DownCTL includes all of it, starting at $9.99/mo.

Pricing and feature details as published by each vendor. Figures may change — see each vendor's pricing page for current details.

The single starkest gap

StatusCake sells status pages as a separate product — up to $208.29/mo on top of your monitoring plan. A customer could pay more for StatusCake Pages alone than for downctl's entire Enterprise plan.

No feature cliffs

Every downctl plan — from Starter to Enterprise — includes the same features. Only site count, server count, and log retention scale with price.

Error tracking, not just uptime

None of UptimeRobot, StatusCake, or Oh Dear offer application error tracking. downctl ships JS, PHP, and Laravel SDKs for it.

Unlimited team seats

UptimeRobot charges $15–19/mo per extra seat on Team and Enterprise. downctl's seats are unlimited.
