Uptime Kuma alternative
Uptime Kuma is a great self-hosted, open-source monitor - if you want to run and maintain it yourself. m0nitor is the hosted alternative: no servers to patch or back up, with an optional bring-your-own probe so you can still reach private, internal targets.
No server to run, no updates, backups, security patches or certificate upkeep - the control plane is hosted for you.
Run a worker probe inside your network to check internal targets, without hosting the whole app yourself.
Native cross-region agreement before alerting, which Uptime Kuma does not provide out of the box.
| Feature | m0nitor | Uptime Kuma |
|---|---|---|
| Hosting | Hosted control plane | Self-hosted (you run the server) |
| Maintenance | None (managed) | Updates, backups, security on you |
| Private targets | Bring-your-own worker probe | Yes, on your own network |
| Multi-region consensus | Standard | Not built in |
| Cost | Free plan, no server costs | Free software plus your server costs |
| Data control | German hosting, GDPR-aligned | Full control on your own box |
| Support / SLA | Hosted service | Community only |
Where Uptime Kuma is stronger: it is fully free and open source, gives you complete control of your data on your own hardware, and has an active community. m0nitor is a hosted service, not a drop-in self-hosted replacement - if running your own box and owning every byte is the goal, Kuma is the right tool.
Yes. Run a worker probe inside your network so private targets are reachable, without self-hosting the whole application.
The control plane is a hosted service. You can bring your own probe for private targets, but m0nitor is not a full self-hosted app replacement for Kuma.
Only an optional lightweight probe if you need to reach private targets. There is no control plane to maintain.
It starts free, with no server costs. Kuma is free software but you pay for and maintain the server it runs on.
