Side-by-Side, in Websites
UptimeRobot counts monitors. On FlareWarden every website is one monitor, and content checks, dependencies and cron jobs use the rest of the plan's pool. So we compare the number of sites each plan covers, at the same check speed, and say where UptimeRobot wins.

Two Free Plans. Different Depths.
UptimeRobot’s free plan is generous on quantity — 50 monitors checked every 5 min, and their Terms (section 3) allow commercial use. Its pricing page keeps SSL monitoring to paid plans.
FlareWarden’s free plan covers fewer sites: up to 5 websites and 15 monitors in total, checked every 5 min, with 2 team members and 1 status page — and it includes SSL, DNS, content and dependency monitoring, webhooks, and cross-region validation.
