RealUptime Monitor vs HetrixTools
HetrixTools is priced like a hosting-industry tool: a generous free tier of uptime monitors, plus blacklist (RBL) monitoring that mail and hosting providers genuinely need. RealUptime Monitor is built for the on-call side of the same job: server agents, check ladders, rotations, escalation policies, and a public status page that updates from the same probes.
Free uptime monitors
Have
10 monitors free, plus 3 server-agent slots
Have
a notably large free monitor allowance, per its pricing page
Server agent (CPU, memory, disk, services)
Have
open agent for Linux, macOS, and Windows; 3 servers free, 10 on Growth, 40 on Scale
Have
server monitoring agent with resource usage tracking
Blacklist (RBL) monitoring
Don’t have
not offered; SSL-certificate and domain-expiry alerts ship, but RBL checking is out of scope
Have
IP and domain blacklist monitoring is a headline feature
On-call rotations and escalation policies
Have
rotations, escalation policies, and acknowledgement on paid rungs; pages by email, Slack, webhook, or your PagerDuty, with no phone or SMS paging of its own
Partial
rich alert contacts and integrations, but no rotation scheduling advertised on its pricing or feature pages
Public status page from the same checks
Have
RealUptime Status shares the account and the 4-region probe fleet
Partial
public report pages for monitors; not a standalone status-page product
