Live uptime monitoring

Know before your users do.

Are We Up? checks your sites, APIs and servers as often as every 30 seconds and alerts you the instant something breaks — on Telegram, Slack, Discord and more. Plus a status page you're proud to share.

Everything you need to stay online

Six monitor types, eight alert channels, public status pages, and escalation — without the enterprise price tag.

Checks every 30s

HTTP, TCP port, ping, DNS, custom API, and cron heartbeat monitors — as fast as every 30 seconds.

Alerts that reach you

Email, Telegram, Slack, Discord, MS Teams, webhooks, PagerDuty and Zapier. No alert locked behind a high tier.

Status pages

Beautiful public pages with 90-day history, custom domain, password protection and email subscribers.

Smart escalation

Never alert on the first blip. Recurring reminders while you're still down, and instant recovery notices.

SSL & domain expiry

Get warned 30, 14 and 7 days before your certificate or domain expires. Never get caught out again.

Maintenance windows

Schedule maintenance and we'll suppress alerts — while still recording what happened.

No agents, no config files. Add a URL and you're monitoring.

You get alerted

The moment something breaks we ping you on Telegram, Slack, Discord and more — then again when it recovers.

Built for how developers actually work

Whatever you run, Are We Up? keeps watch so you don't have to.

Indie foundersSide projects & SaaS

Watch your whole stack — site, API, database port — from one dashboard. Get a Telegram ping the second checkout breaks, not when a customer emails you.

Backend engineersAPIs & services

Validate status codes, keywords and JSON fields on every check. Pipe alerts into Slack or PagerDuty with webhooks — on the $7 plan, not a $33 one.

DevOps & agenciesMany sites, one view

Heartbeats catch silent cron failures, SSL and domain expiry warnings arrive weeks ahead, and every client gets their own branded status page.

Frequently asked questions

Is there really a free plan?

Yes — 10 monitors, 5-minute checks, and Telegram/Slack/Discord alerts, free forever. No credit card required.

How is Are We Up? different from UptimeRobot?

You get webhooks, recurring alerts and incident comments on our $7 Pro plan — features UptimeRobot only offers on their $33 tier. Telegram and Slack are free here, not paywalled.

What can I monitor?

Websites & APIs (HTTP), TCP ports, ping, DNS records, custom API responses with JSON validation, and cron jobs via heartbeats.

Do you alert me on every tiny blip?

No. We require two consecutive failures before alerting, and apply smart cooldowns so you're never spammed.
