Why agencies still pick Everguardly
Uptime Kuma is genuinely excellent and, if you're happy self-hosting, free is hard to beat. The trade is that you run and watch the server yourself from one location. Everguardly is the hosted, multi-region, agency-grade version — with the SSL + domain renewal calendar and white-label client portals Kuma doesn't include.
Why agencies switch
- Hosted + maintained — no VPS, upgrades or uptime-of-your-monitor problem
- Renewal calendar across every client (Kuma tracks neither SSL nor domain expiry well)
- White-label per-client status pages with custom domains
- Multi-region checking instead of a single self-hosted vantage point

Frequently asked questions
- Is Everguardly a good Uptime Kuma alternative?
- Yes. Everguardly is built specifically for web agencies that manage many client sites, with a renewal calendar for SSL and domain expiry, multi-client status pages, and per-client alert routing — areas where Uptime Kuma is more generic. You can migrate in minutes and keep monitoring uptime, SSL, and domains in one place.
- Can I import my monitors from Uptime Kuma?
- You can bulk-import monitors via CSV, and for some providers via API. Add your client sites in a single step, assign them to clients, and Everguardly starts checking uptime, SSL, and domain expiry automatically.
- Does Everguardly cost less than Uptime Kuma?
- Everguardly uses simple plan-based pricing with no per-monitor charges, so monitoring many client sites stays predictable. Every plan includes a 14-day free trial with no credit card required, and annual billing saves 20%.
- What does Everguardly monitor that Uptime Kuma might not?
- Beyond uptime, Everguardly tracks SSL certificate expiry and domain registration expiry with a unified renewal calendar and configurable reminder schedules — so you prevent outages before they happen instead of only being alerted once a site is already down.
