Uptime Kuma needs a server to run.
SiteBrief just works.
Uptime Kuma is a great open-source tool — but it requires self-hosting, has no client reports, and no PageSpeed monitoring. SiteBrief is fully hosted and built for agencies.
Why agencies choose SiteBrief over Uptime Kuma
Uptime Kuma is great for personal use. Agencies need hosted infrastructure, client reports, and more monitoring types.
No server to maintain
Uptime Kuma requires a VPS or server to run. If it goes down, your monitoring goes down. SiteBrief is fully hosted — no servers, no maintenance, no downtime risk.
White-label PDF reports
Uptime Kuma has no client reporting. SiteBrief generates branded PDF reports with uptime, PageSpeed, SSL, and AI summaries — automatically sent to clients.
PageSpeed & Core Web Vitals
Uptime Kuma only monitors uptime. SiteBrief also tracks LCP, CLS, INP, and TTFB over time and alerts you when performance drops on client sites.
Client portal per client
Give each client their own branded login to view uptime history and reports on your domain. Uptime Kuma has a public status page but no per-client portal.
Built for agencies
Manage all client sites in one dashboard. Team roles, per-site permissions, white-label everything — Uptime Kuma is a self-hosted tool, not an agency platform.
Multi-location monitoring
SiteBrief checks from 14 global locations to confirm outages are real — not just network issues on your server. Uptime Kuma checks from a single server you control.
Free plan, no credit card required
Start free with 20 monitored sites. Upgrade when you need white-label reports and client portals — from $29/mo.
