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. $40 flat at 100 monitors Status pages included Cron + uptime in one bill [See FourSight Pricing](/pricing) [Compare Scenarios](#price-scenarios) Looking for the feature-by-feature comparison instead? See [FourSight vs Cronitor](/compare/cronitor-alternative). The pricing model ## How Cronitor prices 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. Price math, July 2026 ## The same shopping list, priced both ways Scenario FourSight Cronitor 5 cron jobs, solo developer No free heartbeats Heartbeats unlock on Growth ($40/mo) — honestly overkill for this scenario. Free — Hacker plan 5 monitors, email/Slack alerts. Cronitor (or Healthchecks.io) is simply the better deal here. 20 monitors, 2 users 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. Add a branded public status page Included — every plan Growth includes 5 status pages; even Free includes 1. +$25/mo add-on Branded status pages ~$25/mo, private pages ~$50/mo, on top of monitor charges (July 2026). 100 monitors, small team Growth — $40/mo flat All 8 check types, 30-second intervals, escalation policies, 5 status pages. ~$200+/mo before add-ons ≈ $2 × 100 monitors plus seats — volume discounts apply, so get a real quote (July 2026). Cronitor figures as published July 2026 — verify with the vendor; per-unit prices carry volume discounts at scale, so your quote may be lower.

Honest take ## Which pricing wins, where Pricing pages usually pretend the writer's tool is cheaper in every scenario. Here's the fair version — where Cronitor's pricing is genuinely the better deal, and where FourSight's is. ### Where Cronitor wins Where Cronitor's pricing genuinely wins: - Small cron-only workloads: 5 free monitors, and per-unit pricing keeps a 10-job setup under $30/mo. - You need job telemetry — runtime metrics, output capture, per-run history via language SDKs — which FourSight doesn't offer at any price. - Usage that shrinks: pay-as-you-go bills go down when you delete monitors; flat tiers don't. ### Where FourSight wins Where the flat plan wins: - You'd otherwise buy Cronitor plus a separate uptime/status-page tool — Growth at $40/mo replaces both bills. - Monitor counts past ~20 with a team, where per-unit math crosses the flat tier and keeps climbing. - Status pages are a requirement, not a $25–50/mo add-on. - You want cron-miss alerts in the same escalation policies and incident timeline as your uptime checks.
