ZnowPulse vs Uptime Kuma
Monitoring that is already running.
ZnowPulse gives you unlimited monitors, one Nexus Point on Free, unlimited Nexus Points on Pro, and managed monitoring and alert delivery, running on our infrastructure. Uptime Kuma is a well-regarded open-source project that does the monitoring — and leaves the server, updates and backups to you.
Where the work goes
Both watch your services. The difference is who keeps the monitoring itself alive — and what you get before paying anything.
| Capability | ZnowPulse | Uptime Kuma |
|---|---|---|
| Getting started | Sign in and add a URL | Provision a host, deploy, and expose it |
| Keeping it running | We patch, update and back up the service | Yours to update, monitor and back up |
| Monitors on the free plan | Unlimited | Unlimited, once you are hosting it |
| HTTP, TCP, ICMP and DNS checks | All four, free | Supported; varies with version and setup |
| Alert channels on the free plan | Email and webhooks, plus delivery integrations configured for your organization | Many supported; you supply the credentials and host |
| Status page during your own outage | Served from our infrastructure, so it stays up | Served from your deployment |
| Team access and exports | Invites, roles, CSV and PDF exports on Pro | You choose and maintain supporting tooling |
Uptime Kuma feature availability can vary with version, deployment, and configuration. Check its documentation for current details.
