Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a free plan?
Yes, StatusCake offers a free plan that includes 10 uptime monitors with 5-minute check intervals. It also covers SSL and domain expiry monitoring, making it a solid free option for basic uses.
What does 'unlimited tests' actually mean?
It means there is no cap on the number of monitors or endpoints you can create on any paid plan. However, check frequency, alerting channels, historical data retention, and advanced features like synthetic monitoring are still bound by your plan tier.
Can I get alerts through Slack, PagerDuty, or SMS?
Yes. StatusCake supports email, Slack, PagerDuty, webhooks, and SMS alerts. Slack and webhooks are available on most plans, but SMS/phone call credits may need to be purchased separately or require a higher plan.
Does StatusCake monitor APIs and dynamic web content?
Yes, its uptime monitors can handle HTTP/HTTPS requests with custom headers, JSON body validation, and keyword checks. More advanced transaction/browser-based monitoring is available on higher tiers or via their synthetic monitoring feature.
How many monitoring locations does StatusCake have?
StatusCake has 35+ global monitoring locations. Depending on your plan, you can check from multiple locations simultaneously to reduce false positives and get better geographic coverage.
Can I build a customer-facing status page?
Yes, StatusCake includes customizable status pages in its plans. These pages can be branded and can display real-time uptime, incident history, and component statuses, though advanced customization like custom domains may require a higher tier.
