🐾 Built for small-business owners

Looking for an UptimeRobot alternative?

KeepPaw is website monitoring in plain English — for plumbers, restaurants, and Squarespace owners, not IT professionals.

Why KeepPaw instead of UptimeRobot?

  • Built for normal humans. No "502 errors" or confusing dashboards — alerts in plain English you'd use with a customer.
  • Simpler pricing. $9/mo watches your site. That's it. UptimeRobot Solo is $12/mo (annual billing only, 10 monitors, 60-second checks).
  • More than just uptime. SSL certificate warnings before they expire, domain expiry tracking, browser safety checks, and email deliverability — all included.
  • A real business in Louisiana. You can actually contact us — not a faceless app. Email, get a reply from a person.
  • 14-day free trial, no card needed. See if it fits before you pay a dime.

Frequently asked questions

Why switch from UptimeRobot to KeepPaw?

KeepPaw is built for small-business owners, not IT teams. Alerts are written in plain English you'd use with a customer—no "502 errors" or technical jargon. You also get more than uptime: SSL certificate warnings, domain expiry tracking, browser safety checks, and email deliverability are all included. Pricing is simpler: $9/month watches one site with full monitoring, or $19/month for up to 10 sites. Both plans include a 14-day free trial with no credit card required.

How does KeepPaw pricing compare to UptimeRobot?

KeepPaw is $9/month for 1 site (Sit plan) or $19/month for up to 10 sites (Heel plan). UptimeRobot Solo is $12/month with annual billing only, 10 monitors, and 60-second checks. KeepPaw pricing is monthly, includes SSL certificate monitoring, domain expiry tracking, browser warnings, and email health—all built in.

What does KeepPaw monitor?

KeepPaw checks uptime and reachability every minute, SSL certificate validity and expiration dates, domain registration and expiry, DNS health, browser safety warnings from Google Safe Browsing, and email deliverability setup. All checks are included in every plan, and alerts are sent in plain English as soon as an outage is confirmed.

Can I try KeepPaw before I pay?

Yes. KeepPaw offers a 14-day free trial with full monitoring—no credit card required to start. You can also run a free 1-minute website check at any time to see uptime, SSL, domain expiry, DNS, browser warnings, and email health for any site without signing up.

Who is KeepPaw built for?

KeepPaw is built for small-business owners—plumbers, restaurants, Squarespace site owners, and anyone who needs to know their website is working but doesn't have an IT team. Alerts are written in plain English, not technical codes, so you can quickly understand what's wrong and communicate it to whoever manages your site.

Does KeepPaw check SSL certificates and domain expiry?

Yes. Every KeepPaw plan includes SSL certificate monitoring—you'll get an alert before your certificate expires so you can renew it before browsers start showing security warnings. Domain expiry tracking is also included, so you'll know when your domain registration is coming up for renewal. Both features are built in at no extra cost.
