Vitrina Engine compared with UptimeRobot

UptimeRobot is the right tool if you want a long-established service with a large integration list and little else. Vitrina Engine is built for teams that run more than websites: mail servers and telecoms systems, services with no public address, and clients of their own who each need a private view, an on-call rota and one incident when something breaks rather than forty.

Checked on 13 September 2026. Prices are each company’s published list prices in US dollars before tax; ours are set per country, so yours may differ.

Where UptimeRobot is the better choice

More integrations. Their list of chat and incident tools is longer than ours.
Voice calls. Paid plans include SMS and voice credits. We send SMS on Pro and Business and do not place voice calls.
Size and track record. They have run one of the most widely used monitoring services for well over a decade.

Where Vitrina Engine is the better choice

On-call is included, not missing. Rotas and escalation come with Pro at $19 a month. UptimeRobot publishes no on-call scheduling or escalation.
Clients get their own workspace. From Pro, each client has a workspace and signs in to see only their own monitors and status pages, never another client’s. Pro includes five. UptimeRobot’s terms allow a single account, so every client shares it.
Watch what has no public address. From Pro, a private probe runs inside your own network and checks internal services that nothing on the internet can reach.
A failure is confirmed from different places. Checks rotate between locations, so three failures in a row are three failures seen from three places. A failure that one location cannot see past is not reported as an outage. UptimeRobot re-checks in the same region.
The same check speed, further down the price list. Their fastest is 15 seconds on Scale, which starts at $77 a month. Business is $49 and also checks every 15 seconds; Pro at $19 checks every 30, which is what their $41 Team plan does. The free plan checks every minute, where theirs checks every five.
Thirty kinds of check. Including databases and Docker containers from Pro, NetFlow, sFlow, J-Flow and IPFIX traffic analysis from Business, SNMP, SMPP, SIP and XMPP, real SMTP, IMAP and POP3 conversations, a TLS configuration audit, SPF, DMARC and DKIM checks, and blocklist monitoring.
Errors and analytics on every plan. Sentry-compatible error tracking and cookie-free web analytics are included, from the free plan up.
One incident for the root cause. Monitors declare what they depend on. When a database fails, the services behind it are marked as consequences instead of each opening an incident and paging somebody.
Your data stays in the European Union. A check whose configuration could carry personal data, such as a request header, only ever runs from inside it.
An audit log without an enterprise contract. It comes with Business at $49 a month. UptimeRobot keeps audit logs for Enterprise.

What a small team pays

One example: 100 monitors checked every minute, a status page without our branding or theirs, and three people who sign in.

	UptimeRobot	Vitrina Engine
Plan	Team	Pro
Monthly price	$41	$19
Monitors included	100	200
Fastest check	30 seconds	30 seconds
People who sign in	3	10
On-call and escalation	Not published	Included

The two plans check equally often, and the rest of the row is where they differ: twice the monitors, three times the people, and on-call for less than half the price. Going faster than 30 seconds costs $77 on their side and $49 on ours.

Watching internal networks and telecoms systems

UptimeRobot checks from the public internet. Monitoring a private network is an open feature request on their public roadmap, and SMTP, IMAP and POP3 can only be checked as an open port, which says a server accepts connections and nothing about whether it still delivers mail.

A Vitrina Engine private probe runs inside your network and collects its work over HTTPS, so it needs no inbound access and never holds a database credential. The checks speak the protocol rather than knocking on the port: SNMP polls the OIDs you name and judges each against a threshold, SMPP binds to the SMSC and unbinds, SIP sends OPTIONS, and XMPP opens a stream and negotiates STARTTLS.
