Questions

Is UptimeWarrior cheaper than Oh Dear?

At every site count in the table on this page, the cheapest paid plan here costs less a month than Oh Dear's smallest plan that holds as many sites.

Oh Dear sells plans by site count, so an eleventh site moves you to its 25-site plan at €99; here a paid plan bills the eleven, from €33.00.

The plans are not like for like: Oh Dear includes every feature on every plan, and features differ by plan here. Compare the rows as well as the prices.

Does UptimeWarrior crawl a whole site for broken links like Oh Dear?

No. Oh Dear crawls every page of a site daily; here the scan follows the first 50 links on the page you monitor. If a full-site crawl is what you need, Oh Dear does more.

Can I use my own domain for the status page?

On Oh Dear, yes. Here, no: the page is on our domain on every plan.

How current is this comparison?

Every Oh Dear statement on this page was read from its own website on 13 September 2026, and each row links to the page it came from. Its prices are monthly, in euros and excluding VAT, as its pricing page states. Ours are read from our plan configuration whenever the page loads.
