UptimeRobot stores your monitoring data in the US. Cloudrix Monitor keeps everything in the EU -- same simplicity, better data residency.
Try Cloudrix Monitor FreeUptimeRobot is one of the most popular uptime monitoring tools on the market, and for good reason. It is simple, affordable, and reliable. Millions of websites rely on it to alert them when things go down. But UptimeRobot was built in Turkey and stores its data in US-based data centers. For European companies subject to GDPR, for businesses with clients who require EU data residency, or for organizations that simply prefer to keep their monitoring data within European borders, this is a problem. After the Schrems II ruling invalidated the EU-US Privacy Shield, transferring monitoring data to US servers creates legal uncertainty. Even metadata -- which domains you monitor, when outages occur, what response times look like -- can be considered personal data in some interpretations of GDPR. Cloudrix Monitor offers the same straightforward uptime monitoring experience that made UptimeRobot popular, but with a critical difference: all data stays in the EU. Our servers are located in the Netherlands and Germany, operated by EU-incorporated entities. There are no transatlantic data transfers, no Standard Contractual Clauses to evaluate, and no legal gray areas. Beyond data residency, Cloudrix Monitor brings a modern interface, faster check intervals on the free tier, and transparent EU-based pricing in euros. If you have been looking for an UptimeRobot alternative that respects European data sovereignty, Cloudrix Monitor is built for you.

Cloudrix Monitor stores all data -- check results, response times, alert logs, account information -- on servers physically located in the EU. UptimeRobot processes and stores data in US data centers. For companies bound by GDPR, EU client contracts, or internal data governance policies, EU residency eliminates compliance risk entirely.
Cloudrix Monitor offers 3-minute check intervals on the free tier (vs. UptimeRobot's 5 minutes) and 30-second intervals on paid plans (vs. UptimeRobot's 60-second minimum). Faster checks mean you detect outages sooner and can respond before users notice.
Cloudrix prices everything in euros. No currency conversion fees, no fluctuating bills due to exchange rate changes. For European businesses, this simplifies budgeting and expense reporting.
While UptimeRobot's interface is functional, it has not evolved significantly in years. Cloudrix Monitor features a modern, responsive dashboard with real-time data visualization, customizable views, and a dark mode. The experience feels like a product built in 2026, not 2012.
Post-Schrems II, transferring personal data to the US requires Standard Contractual Clauses and potentially a Transfer Impact Assessment. With Cloudrix Monitor, there is no transatlantic transfer. Your DPO and legal team will thank you.

Try Cloudrix Monitor FreeUptimeRobot's paid plans start lower ($7/month vs. EUR 19/month for Cloudrix). However, Cloudrix offers more monitors per tier, faster check intervals, and EU data hosting included. If EU data residency is a requirement, you would need UptimeRobot's higher tiers plus a DPA, which narrows the price gap. Both offer generous free tiers with 50 monitors.
Yes. Cloudrix Monitor supports CSV import compatible with UptimeRobot's export format. You can migrate all your monitors, including check intervals and alert contacts, in a few minutes.
UptimeRobot currently offers more global check locations (US, EU, Asia, South America). Cloudrix Monitor checks from EU and US locations. If you need checks from Asia or South America, UptimeRobot has broader geographic coverage. For EU-focused monitoring, Cloudrix's locations are sufficient.
Cloudrix Monitor is a Progressive Web App (PWA) that works on all devices. It can be installed on your home screen and sends push notifications. UptimeRobot offers native iOS and Android apps. Functionally they are equivalent, though some users prefer native apps.
Cloudrix Monitor guarantees 99.9% uptime for its monitoring infrastructure, backed by an SLA. This is comparable to UptimeRobot's reliability track record.
For European companies that need reliable uptime monitoring with guaranteed EU data residency, Cloudrix Monitor is the clear choice. Start free with 50 monitors and 3-minute checks -- no credit card required.
