FAQ
How fast can I switch from StatusCake?
Monitors are set up in minutes; the three free monitors are enough to run both in parallel. Alerts arrive via email right away, plus Slack, Discord and webhooks on Pro.
Is there pagespeed monitoring?
No. Clesk Uptime measures response times (including TTFB) for every check but does not replace a Lighthouse-style pagespeed audit. That keeps the product simple and affordable.
What happens after the free plan?
The free tier stays free forever. Pro is €79 per year including VAT and unlocks 20 monitors, 60-second checks and additional alert channels.
Monitoring with a German contract partner.
Set up in two minutes, three monitors free forever.
