Cronitor prices per unit — roughly $2 per monitor and $5 per dashboard user per month, with a free 5-monitor tier and status pages sold as add-ons (as published July 2026 — verify with the vendor). Fair pricing for a focused tool. FourSight Growth prices the whole surface flat: $40/mo for heartbeat/cron monitoring plus 100 multi-region uptime monitors, escalations, and 5 status pages.

The pricing model
Cronitor's free Hacker plan covers 5 monitors with email and Slack alerts. Its Business plan is pay-as-you-go: roughly $2/mo per monitor and $5/mo per additional user, with volume discounts at scale (as published July 2026 — verify with the vendor). A single monitor with one seat starts around $7/mo. Status pages are add-ons — branded pages around $25/mo, private pages around $50/mo. Enterprise plans start near $6,000/yr.
Per-unit pricing is honest and scales down beautifully — a solo developer with three cron jobs pays almost nothing. It scales up quickly, though: 20 monitors and two users is ~$50/mo, and 100 monitors crosses $200/mo before add-ons. And because Cronitor is a cron-first specialist, most teams still buy a second product for full uptime, SSL, and DNS coverage.
FourSight inverts the model: Growth is $40/mo flat for heartbeat/cron monitors (5-field cron expressions, grace periods, miss thresholds) plus 100 monitors across all 8 check types, 30-second intervals, escalation policies, and 5 hosted status pages. The bill doesn't move as you add monitors within the tier.

|---|---|---|
| 5 cron jobs, solo developer |
No free heartbeats Heartbeats unlock on Growth ($40/mo) — honestly overkill for this scenario. |

Growth — $40/mo flat Heartbeats plus uptime, SSL, DNS, and domain checks in the same monitor list, multi-user org included. |
~$50/mo pay-as-you-go ≈ $2 × 20 monitors + $5 × extra seats (July 2026 — verify with the vendor); still cron-focused. |

FAQ
As published July 2026 (verify with the vendor): a free Hacker plan with 5 monitors, then pay-as-you-go Business pricing at roughly $2/mo per monitor and $5/mo per user, with volume discounts. Branded status pages add ~$25/mo. A one-monitor, one-seat setup starts near $7/mo; 100 monitors runs $200+/mo before discounts.
Below roughly 15–20 monitors for a cron-only workload, yes — often dramatically so, and its 5-monitor free tier beats FourSight, where heartbeats require the $40 Growth plan. Above that, or once you add the uptime tool and status page you'd buy separately, FourSight's $40 flat usually wins. Both claims are checkable with the scenario table above.
Yes — branded public status pages are an add-on at roughly $25/mo, private pages at $50/mo (as published July 2026 — verify with the vendor). Every FourSight plan includes at least one hosted status page; Growth includes five.
