UpCanary is an automated status page platform powered by real uptime monitoring data. It monitors HTTP, TCP, DNS, SSL, and Ping endpoints from checkpoints across 6 continents, delivering sub-3-second outage detection. When a monitor detects an outage, the public status page updates automatically with no manual intervention required. The platform combines credit-based, pay-as-you-go monitoring with optional subscriptions that unlock team and branding features, and is free to start.

Pricing
UpCanary uses a two-axis pricing model: credits (one-time, pay-as-you-go, never expire) fund monitoring checks, while optional monthly subscriptions unlock team seats, extra status pages, and branding features. 1 credit = 1 check across all selected monitoring regions. A solo dev monitoring 1 site at 5-minute intervals spends ~$0.26/month on credits. Pro subscription is $29/month. Enterprise tier is quote-based (contact for pricing).
