One system, five layers: detect problems, get alerted, protect client trust, respond fast, and automate the rest. Here's one incident, start to finish.

The check fails

The Detection Layer · Five monitor types, one system.

Know the second something breaks — not when a client emails you first

• Real-Time Monitoring

  Know the second something breaks — not when a client emails you first. Checked every minute from multiple global locations.

• SSL & Domain Monitoring

  Monitor SSL certificates and domain expiration dates. Get alerts before they expire so you never have downtime.

• Cron & Heartbeat Monitoring

  Ensure your scheduled jobs and background tasks run on time. Get alerted when a heartbeat is missed.

• API Monitoring

  Monitor your API endpoints for uptime, response time, and correctness. Validate status codes and response bodies.

• DNS Monitoring

  Monitor DNS records for changes and ensure your domains resolve correctly across all nameservers.

Why most monitoring tools don't fix this

Most monitoring tools either ping your site occasionally and call it "real-time," or bury the features that actually matter — team access, SMS alerts, white-labeling — behind higher-priced tiers.

UptimeTea runs checks the moment you add a monitor, not on the next scheduled cycle, and includes white-labeled status pages on every plan, including Free. It's built around the thing agencies actually need: not just uptime data, but proof you can hand to a client.

9:31:04

The alert reaches you

The Alert Layer

Email everywhere, SMS/call on Team, quiet hours on you

Email Alerts

Instant email the second a check fails — with what broke, where, and when — so you can act before anyone notices. Included on every plan.

SMS & Phone Call Alerts

The alert that reaches you even when Slack doesn't — because a missed notification at 2am is the whole reason this exists. Texts and real phone calls with smart escalation on Team and Agency.

Quiet Hours

You decide when alerts can reach you. Set quiet hours and enable exactly the channels you want — email, SMS, or call — so alerts respect your sleep without going unseen.

Clients never see UptimeTea — just real-time metrics and incident updates, under your own name.

White-labeling and Teams & Roles aren't just line items — together they let you monitor every client's site under your own brand, with a status page they think you built yourself. It's the professional touch that makes you look like a bigger operation than a one-person shop.

The email that never comes

The email you never want to get from a client

Re: is the site down??

From your client, 9:42 am

Today: you find out last

You're managing five, ten, fifteen client sites — and the one time something breaks, you find out from an annoyed email, not from your own tools. Now you're apologizing for something you didn't even know happened, quietly wondering if this is the incident that costs you the retainer.

Juggling monitoring across a pile of tools that were never built for managing someone else's site — on top of everything you're already doing for your clients — turns "keeping them online" into its own second job.

UptimeTea alert, 9:31 am

With UptimeTea: you're already on it

Imagine getting an alert the second a client's site goes down — before they've even noticed. You open a status page that's branded entirely as yours, showing real uptime data, and you're already on it by the time anyone asks.

No damage control. No explaining why you didn't catch it first. Just the quiet, professional confidence of actually being ahead of the problem — the exact thing that makes a client renew without you having to ask.

9:45

You automate the rest

Full API + MCP for AI assistants

API Access

Automate anything you can do in the dashboard — manage monitors, incidents, and status pages from your own code.

MCP Integration

assistant · via UptimeTea MCP

shop.acmestudio.com timed out at 9:31 and was resolved at 9:40. The other two monitors stayed up the whole time.

One missed incident can cost a client retainer worth hundreds a month — every plan here is a rounding error against that. Start free with up to 50 monitors and scale up only when you need to.

Solo covers up to 50 monitors. Team covers up to 500 monitors. Agency covers up to 2,000 monitors. Need more than that? Email us and we'll set up a plan that fits.

Frequently asked questions

Didn't find your answer? Email support@uptimetea.com.

Do I need a credit card to start?

No. Sign up with just your email and start monitoring on the Solo plan — no credit card required, ever, unless you choose to upgrade.

How long does setup take?

Under 2 minutes for your first site. Sign up, enter one URL, and UptimeTea creates full protection — uptime, SSL, and domain expiration monitoring — with the first check running within seconds.

How fast does the first check actually run?

Within seconds of adding a monitor — not on a slow scheduled sweep. Add a URL and watch the first result come in before you've finished reading this sentence.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. There's no contract or lock-in — cancel whenever you want and you'll keep access until the end of your billing period.

What happens to my data if I cancel?

Nothing is held hostage. You can export all your monitors, incidents, and status page history at any time, cancellation or not.

Why is Team cheaper than competitors?

We don't charge per seat, per status page, or per responder like most competitors do. $29/mo for 500 monitors and full team access is the whole bill — comparable tools charge $24–64/mo before the add-ons even start.

Why pay when free tools like Uptime Kuma exist?

Free and self-hosted tools trade your money for your time — you run the server, maintain the alerting, and if it goes down silently, nobody catches that but you. Paid plans buy that time back and include team roles, SMS & call alerts, and white-labeling that free tools don't hand you out of the box.

How do I know UptimeTea itself is reliable?

Don't take our word for it — check it live. UptimeTea monitors itself with the exact same product you get, on a public status page at status.uptimetea.com, linked from the footer of every page.

Will my clients see UptimeTea branding?

No — that's the point of white-labeling, included on every plan. Your clients see your logo, your brand color, and your domain. The tool stays invisible; only the reliability is visible.

I'm a solo freelancer, not an agency — is this for me?

Yes. If you're keeping even one client's site online, you're already doing exactly what UptimeTea is built for — company size has nothing to do with it. Start free on Solo and upgrade only when you need teams or SMS alerts.

What happens when I outgrow my plan?

You upgrade yourself, whenever you decide — Solo to Team (500 monitors) to Agency (2,000 monitors), all self-serve with no sales call. Need more than that? Email us and we'll set up a plan that fits.

Can I pay annually?

Yes. Team is $199/year and Agency is $299/year — a 43–49% saving compared to paying month to month.

What happens to existing subscribers when prices change?

Nothing. Your price is locked in at whatever you signed up at, for as long as you stay subscribed — price changes only ever apply to new signups.

From finding out last to finding out first.

Your first check runs seconds after you hit save. All features included for free with up to 50 monitors — no credit card required.
