A Super Monitoring alternative, or what happens between one check and the next
Super Monitoring and Uptimo watch the same thing: whether a customer can get through the process, not just whether the server responds. We differ in how often the scenario runs and in what is left behind after a failed run. Below is the comparison, with a date and a source, including the places where Super Monitoring wins.
The short answer
If you need many kinds of checks for a few dozen zloty a month (Core Web Vitals, blacklists, page changes, domain expiry) and checking the process every ten minutes is enough, Super Monitoring will be cheaper and broader. Switching makes sense when what counts is the window between one scenario run and the next, and how much material is left after a failure: our scenario runs from every 5 minutes, and a failed run leaves a recording, a screenshot of every step and a HAR file.
What each side has
The Super Monitoring figures come from its own pricing page and its description of process monitoring by scenario, as read on 12 September 2026. Both sides quote prices in zloty, net. Check at the source before you decide: supermonitoring.pl/p/cennik.

Where Super Monitoring is better
The list is long, and it should be. If any of these weighs more for you than scenario frequency and the evidence left after a failure, stay where you are.
A lower entry price
Their cheapest plan is PLN 19.90 net a month, and the plan with process scenarios is PLN 99.90 net. Our first plan with a scenario is PLN 149 net. For availability checks alone you would be overpaying with us.
More kinds of checks
Core Web Vitals, whether the domain sits on a blacklist, file integrity, page changes and domain expiry. We have none of these and we do not pretend otherwise.
An alert that calls you
They can ring your phone. With us an alert goes by email, SMS, Slack, Teams or webhook, but no phone will ring. On a night shift that can settle the choice.
Unlimited alert recipients
On every one of their plans the notification list has no limit. With us it depends on the plan: from one recipient on Solo to twenty on Agency.
Event history with no end date
Their event history has no time limit, screenshots stay for a year and HAR files for six months. Our history runs from 7 to 180 days depending on the plan, and 365 days is an add-on at PLN 99 a month.
Sixteen years on the market and ready plugins
They have been running since 2010, with public references, four language versions and plugins for WordPress, PrestaShop, Magento, Joomla and Drupal. We started in 2026 and integrate through Slack, Teams and webhooks.
What we do differently
Everything below is about one thing: what happens between one scenario run and the next, and how much you know when a run fails.
A scenario every 5 minutes, not every 10
With a check every ten minutes a broken cart can keep taking orders for nine minutes before anyone finds out. At five minutes that window is half as long. On a Saturday evening, during a sale, that difference is countable in orders.
Steps without selectors
You pick steps from a list (go to, fill in, click, wait for an element, check text) or describe them in sentences, and the wizard runs them on your own site and shows a table with the result of every step and a screenshot. You only save what worked in front of you. A CSS selector is allowed, but not required.
Evidence, not just a screenshot
A failed run leaves a recording of the whole journey, a screenshot of every step and a HAR file with the list of requests (from the Team plan). That is the difference between a ticket saying the cart is broken and a ticket a developer can close without guessing.
A heartbeat for cron jobs
A backup, a queue or a nightly job pings your address, and no signal within the agreed window counts as a failure. This check watches the things you cannot see from the outside.
A free plan with no end date
Solo watches three services every five minutes, with no card and no expiry date. There is no scenario there, but HTTP, DNS, ping, TCP, mail and certificate checks are.
When switching makes sense, and when it does not
Stay with Super Monitoring if
- your monitoring budget is a few dozen zloty a month,
- you need checks we do not have: Core Web Vitals, blacklists, page changes, domain expiry,
- checking the process every ten minutes and a screenshot with a step number is enough,
- you care about phone alerts or an unlimited recipient list.
Consider switching if
- you sell at peak hours and ten minutes of not knowing costs more than the difference in the subscription,
- after a failure you want a recording, a screenshot of every step and a HAR file, not just a screenshot with a step number,
- you build the scenarios yourself and would rather not hunt for selectors in the page source,
- you also watch background jobs: backups, queues, nightly batches,
- you have to show a client or a board an SLA report per service group.
What people ask when switching tools
It does when the process earns money. With a check every ten minutes the worst case is nine minutes of selling through a broken cart, at five minutes it is four. Run that against your average orders per hour and you get the answer in money rather than in opinions. If it turns out the difference does not matter, that is an honest reason not to switch tools.
No. Steps come from a list, and an element can be pointed at by the visible text on a button. You can also describe the whole path in sentences: the wizard turns them into steps, runs them on your site and shows the result of every step with a screenshot before anything is saved. A selector is allowed when a page has two identical buttons, but that is the exception, not the price of entry.
The step number, the timing of every step, a recording of the whole run, a screenshot from the moment of failure and a HAR file with the list of requests, which is the material a developer can work from without reproducing the fault locally. The recording and the HAR file come with the Team plan; on Start you get the step number, the step timings and a screenshot.
Core Web Vitals, blacklist monitoring, page change monitoring, file integrity checks, domain expiry notices and voice alerts. Nor sixteen years of history or plugins for CMS platforms. If any of those is a requirement for you, it is better to learn it here than after a two week trial.
From its own pages: the pricing page and the description of process monitoring by scenario, read on 12 September 2026. The prices are net, the same as ours. A competitor can change them at any time, so check at the source before deciding, and if you see something out of date, write to us: a comparison with stale figures hurts us more than it hurts them.

Try it on your own checkout flow
A table settles nothing. Point one scenario at the process you earn from, break a single step on a staging environment and see what arrives in the alert. It takes a few minutes and needs no card.
