Overview

EasyMonitor is an open-source, self-hosted uptime monitor. A Laravel app schedules HTTP and ICMP checks onto Redis Streams, Go probe binaries in any region claim them and publish results, and a consumer writes to TimescaleDB and triggers alerts. Cross-probe quorum decides up or down, and the app serves public, unlisted or private status pages.

Best for
Small teams that want to run their own uptime monitoring and status pages on their own servers.
Pricing
No prices are shown: the software is MIT licensed and self-hosted, and the site states there is no per-monitor or per-seat charge.

Strengths and trade-offs

Strengths

  • Unlimited monitors, no per-monitor or per-seat pricing
  • Cross-probe quorum from probes on hosts you own
  • Status pages with custom domains and auto-HTTPS via Caddy
  • MIT licensed, installed with one setup script

Trade-offs

  • Self-hosted only — no hosted option is shown
  • Checks are limited to HTTP and ICMP
  • Remote probes need your own tunnel (Tailscale, Cloudflare or VPN)
  • Pre-1.0 at v0.2.1, and needs a server with ~2 GB RAM

How this score is made up

Each dimension is scored out of 100 and combined into the headline score using fixed weights.

  • MCP support

    Whether an agent can drive the product through the Model Context Protocol, and how much setup that takes.

  • Documentation

    Publicly reachable docs — coverage, freshness, code samples and machine readability.

  • Agent friendliness

    How readable the site is to an automated client: llms.txt, structured data, server-rendered content, crawler access.

  • Changelog

    A public, dated record of what shipped and when — the clearest signal that a product is still alive.

  • Marketing site structure

    Whether the site answers a buyer's questions: clear positioning, the pages that matter, and accessibility.

  • Page speed

    How fast the site loads for real visitors: Chrome UX Report 75th-percentile LCP, INP and CLS, with a Lighthouse mobile run standing in where a site has too little traffic for field data.

  • Operational trust

    Status page and incident history, security disclosure, compliance and data-processing documentation.

Measured, but not part of the score

Useful to know, but not a mark for or against the product — so these do not affect the ranking.

  • Openness

    Source availability, self-hosting, data export and open standards. Scored and shown, but not part of the composite — paid SaaS is not worse for being paid SaaS.

  • Maintenance

    Release cadence and repository activity. Scored and shown, but not part of the composite — it is only measurable for open repositories.
