FAQ

Can Clesk Uptime monitor servers?

Indirectly: via HTTP/API checks and heartbeats for cron jobs. Classic agent-based server monitoring (CPU, RAM, processes) is deliberately out of scope.

Is setup really faster?

Yes. There are no agents and no suite configuration: register, add a URL, pick an interval. Your first monitor runs in under two minutes.

What about pricing?

All prices are euro end prices including 19% VAT: Pro €79 per year for 20 monitors, Business €199 for 150. Extra monitors come in blocks of ten.

The essentials, without the suite around them.

Three monitors free forever, no credit card required.
