YouLMK vs Cronitor

YouLMK or Cronitor?

Cronitor, in its own words: "cron, heartbeat, website, and API monitoring" with uptime and status pages: Hacker "free forever" with 5 monitors, 1 status page and 1 dashboard user; Business at $2 a month per monitor plus $5 a month per user, with 12 months of data; Enterprise from $6,000 a year. YouLMK is an inbox you let things interrupt you through: anything with an HTTP client sends into it, and you decide per sender how far a message may reach, whether quiet hours hold it and how repeats group. It can also watch a page, an endpoint, a status page, a feed, a number or a time, and send when the answer changes.

Side by side

Cronitor

YouLMK

What it is

Monitoring for teams: cron and heartbeat monitors, uptime checks on websites and APIs, status pages, a dashboard.

A hosted inbox with rules per sender, that also watches pages, endpoints, status pages, feeds, numbers and times.

Price

Hacker free with 5 monitors; Business $2 a month per monitor and $5 a month per user; Enterprise from $6,000 a year.

Send $4 a month or $40 a year for unlimited notifications; Watch $12 or $120 adds 100 watches at 5-minute checks. Trial: 10 notifications and 3 watches, no card.

At 100 watches

$200 a month for 100 monitors on Business, plus $5 per user.

$12 a month.

What it watches

That a job checked in, that a site or API answers, with alerting, incidents and a status page you publish.

That a page, an endpoint, a status page, a feed, a number or a time changed; no status page of your own.

Where the notification lands

Its alert integrations (email, SMS, Slack, PagerDuty and more).

Its own inbox on iPhone, Android and the web, with email, Slack and a signed webhook as destinations.

Rules on the receiving side

Alert rules per monitor, in the dashboard.

Per sender or watch: a Reach level, quiet hours that hold, grouping, which destinations.

Choose Cronitor if

You run a team, publish a status page, and need incidents, on-call and 12 months of history.
You need to know when a job did not run at all.

Choose YouLMK if

You are one person who wants to be told, on the phone, when a site or an endpoint is down, at $12 for 100 watches rather than $2 per monitor.
You want the same inbox for everything else that sends to you: scripts, deploys, payments, agents, with rules.

What is the same

Both check an endpoint on a schedule and tell you when it stops answering, both have a free tier, and both are used by people who run things. Cronitor is monitoring sold to teams by the monitor; YouLMK is an inbox with a watcher inside it, sold at one price.

Try it

The trial is 10 notifications and 3 watches, no card, no clock. Get your key, or read the docs first.
