What is the easiest alternative to Uptime Kuma?

PingWatch is a hosted alternative to Uptime Kuma that requires no server, no Docker, and no self-hosting. You sign up in under 2 minutes and start monitoring your websites immediately.

Does PingWatch send Telegram alerts when a website goes down?

Yes. PingWatch sends instant Telegram alerts the moment your site goes down, including the specific reason for the outage — not just a generic 'site is down' message.

How much does PingWatch cost?

PingWatch has a free plan. Unlimited monitors cost $7 per month.

Do I need a server to use PingWatch?

No. PingWatch is fully hosted. Unlike Uptime Kuma, you do not need a VPS, Docker, or any server. Just sign up and add your URL.

Down + Recovery alerts

You get a message when the site falls AND when it comes back, with exact downtime in minutes.
