Comparison
UptimeRobot and Checkly alternative for real journeys
UptimeRobot: great HTTP ping, limited browser journeys. Checkly: powerful Playwright, steeper learning curve. Pathly: click-by-click recording, EU-hosted, Solo plan without a card — built for agencies and e-commerce that want results without an ops team.
When to choose what
UptimeRobot for 50 simple URLs cheap. Checkly if you have Playwright in CI and SRE team. Pathly if you want 5-minute setup, screenshots for non-devs, EU hosting.
Where UptimeRobot and Checkly win
UptimeRobot wins on HTTP volume, high frequency, SMS and mature integrations. Checkly wins if you want versioned Playwright in CI and an SRE team. Pathly does not replace that: keep HTTP uptime; add Pathly for the journey that makes money (cart → Pay), with an EU screenshot.
