Checkmate vs SolidPing
Both stand on uptime monitoring services. Which one you can start free with, which one lets you read the code, and what each costs once you pay.
Free plan APILinuxMac+3
Checkmate brings service checks, server metrics, PageSpeed tracking, and incident alerts into a self-hosted dashboard. It includes all features without monitor limits, but users give up managed cloud and must handle deployment themselves.

SolidPing pairs a wide range of checks and alert channels with on-call and status-page features. Choose hosted service or self-hosted deployment, noting that hosted SMS and voice alerts require your own provider credentials on self-hosted installations.
