HetrixTools
HetrixTools — A good budget-friendly alternative with decent uptime coverage and alerting, but generally less compelling than the top picks.
Perplexity
New Relic
New Relic Synthetics — A very good pick if New Relic is already your observability platform, since its synthetic monitors track uptime and page performance while exposing failure details, locations, alert incidents, and related application telemetry in the same environment.
