UptimeRobot is one of the most popular tools for checking whether a site responds. MonitorWWW was built on a different premise: besides availability, it watches a site's security — the WordPress version, known vulnerabilities, exposed files and suspicious code. This comparison shows where each one is stronger.
| MonitorWWW | UptimeRobot | |
|---|---|---|
| Shortest interval | 5 minutes | 5 minutes on Free; 60 s (Solo), 30 s (Team), 15 s (Scale) |
| Free plan | 30-day trial, 2 sites, all features | No time limit, 50 monitors — described as a plan for hobby and non-profit projects |
| Paid plan pricing | 49 PLN/year (2 sites), 99 PLN/year (10 sites), 249 PLN/year (100 sites) — net | Solo €9/mo, Team €35/mo, Scale €65/mo on annual billing |
| WordPress version and known vulnerabilities (CVE) | Yes, with an alert about a new flaw | No — it is an availability monitoring tool |
| Checks for stores and billing panels | WooCommerce, PrestaShop, Magento, Shopify, WHMCS | No platform-specific checks |
| Malware, PHP errors, exposed files | Yes | No |
| SSL certificate and domain expiry | Yes, on every plan | Yes; the pricing page states SSL monitoring is in paid plans |
| Alerts | Email, SMS (a bundle included in the plan), Telegram, webhook | Email and many integrations; SMS and voice calls on paid plans (credits) |
| Status page | Yes | Yes — from 1 on Free to unlimited on Scale |
| Language and billing | Polish and English, VAT invoice in PLN | English, prices in euro or dollars |
When UptimeRobot is the better choice
- You need checks more often than every 5 minutes — every minute or every few seconds.
- You monitor many addresses, ports and services and only care whether they respond.
- You want a free plan with no time limit for your own non-commercial project.
- You care about elaborate status pages and ready-made integrations with team tools.
When MonitorWWW is the better choice
- The site runs on WordPress, WooCommerce, PrestaShop, Magento, Shopify or WHMCS and you want to know not just whether it is up but whether it is safe.
- You want an alert when your WordPress version gets a new known flaw, rather than finding out after a breach.
- You look after client sites and need a PDF report.
- You are counting costs: 10 sites with the full set of checks cost 99 PLN net per year.
Can you use both
Yes, and it is a common setup: UptimeRobot with a short interval watches plain availability, and MonitorWWW watches security and everything a simple ping cannot see. If you are not sure your site needs it, enter its address in the free scanner and see what comes up.
