Top Rated MonSpark Alternatives
Love the absolutely HUGE range of monitors available. Far more than I'll ever need, but all developed incredibly well. I've tried most of them for a couple of weeks and not a single failure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I find the Ui a little confusing sometimes, but I think this is because I added so many monitors in such a short amount of time. I'll be deleting ones I don't yet use, and then adding as I become more comfortable with each. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The setup is quick and easy. All systems can be added in a very short time. The range of functions is almost perfect at this point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The server overview could be arranged a little differently. At first glance, only 4 servers are displayed. In addition, a separate overview page for each server would be useful. But that's a small thing! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Creating some monitors requires some effort, it can be simplified a bit for users who don't have this job. Since it is important for us to be able to receive notifications instantly, platform support such as Telegram should be brought. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I think the prices are a bit high for freelancers and individual users. Also, free usage opportunities can be created for students, as Github and similar institutions do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
MonSpark is a powerful and intuitive solution for real-time monitoring and alerts. Its user-friendly interface and easy integration with multiple platforms allow us to track our online presence with precision. The dashboard provides comprehensive insights, giving us the confidence to make data-driven decisions swiftly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
While MonSpark offers extensive features, some of the customization options could be more intuitive for newcomers. An enhanced onboarding guide could further reduce the learning curve and enhance the user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
This app is a must-have app for anybody who is managing websites. It helps me to monitor not only the uptime of my VPS provider but also monitors if any of my server configurations severely affect the uptime of my website. It also monitors for speed and SEO.

It is hard to say what I don't like about MonSpark. May a suggestion that it let's you know when you are about to create a duplicate monitor maybe a time saver. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It covers every monitoring need, including SSL Certificates, cron jobs, and more. It's also beautifully designed, the UI is very polished, and easy to use. The free plan gives you plenty to try it out, and upgrade when you're ready to use it's full potential. The dashboard gives a great overview of all monitors, and the status page is a great public view, both with integrated incident reporting and updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The pricing is good for what you get, but more expensive than other services, so bulk monitoring customer sites can be very expensive, as anything over 100 monitors needs Enterprise pricing. Especially when 1 website can have 3-5 different types of monitors, so that could be as little as 30-40 websites. I think a good bulk monitor plan would be ideal, or make the plans based on websites not monitors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
MonSpark is one of the best website uptime monitoring tools I've used in a while (in fact, it's a lot more than that, but more on that later). I have been looking for one recently, and I consider myself lucky enough to spot this one.
1. It's extremely easy to use. Even if you're a beginner, you'd not need more than a few minutes to set up your first monitor.
2. The UI is great. Although beginners might feel a little overwhelmed, that's only because of the vast feature list. Otherwise, you have everything you need right at your fingertip.
3. Speaking of the number of features, I was pleasantly surprised with all the things MonSpark can help you monitor. You have uptime monitoring, SSL expiry monitoring, screenshot monitoring, lighthouse audits, and much more.
4. The status pages are beautiful and highly customizable. So you can easily make them seamlessly blend with your brand.
5. There are a number of handy integrations available to send notifications to Discord, Slack, Microsoft Teams, send them via SMS or a phone call and even a Zapier integration to integrate MonSpark with other third-party apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There's absolutely nothing I dislike about MonSpark. However, I hope they build a wide network of checkpoints for uptime monitoring. And if I have to be picky, I wish they had a light mode as well (right now, they only seem to have a Dark mode). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Monspark provides the insights and data needed for any project on technical site. The most (wouldn't say everything, because the missing of full white label) is customizable, making it easy to tailor the solution of a status page to my specific business needs.

MonSpark is a great monitoring tool. An impressive amount of checks are very helpful, and a nice free tier to get started with. It offers 1 min intervals on uptime checks and integration with SMS, email, Teams, etc. makes sure you can get your notifications. It offers 2 factor auth and the creation of teams if you have multiple people working on your uptime. I like that there are added features like SEO checks, DNS checks, traceroute, SSL expiration, etc. that really help in making sure my infra work is focused on immediate issues as well a proactive notifications (like when an SSL cert is going to expire vs after it already has). I'm really looking forward to a number of their roadmap items like URL checking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some things to be aware of with MonSpark is that it is a startup and as such has some limitations from some of the more established players. In particular they currently only run their checks from Europe. There is a selection area where you can pick a recgion to check from but the only option (as of the writing of this review) is Europe. If you only have one site where you serve content, that's probably fine, if you are running a multinational business where you have servers serving customers in multiple Geos then this can create a blindspot to other regions availability. Likewise the ability to monitor for changes in a website (content, used technology, etc.) is great but the geo restriction means if you want to do something like monitor the prices on a webpage (say of a competitor) you are only monitoring what they show in the EU (prices in Euros and many times companies change prices in different regions differently depending on competition, regulation and demand).
Additionally, There are a number of "Beta" features which look very promising (I'm really looking forward to them) but "beta" actually means "coming soon" so you can't actually Beta those features. I'm used to beta meaning that it's not production ready and can have bugs in it, not that it's not available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I really enjoy using MonSpark because it's like having a smart friend that watches over your website all the time. It’s super easy to start using it; just type in your website's address and it begins to watch over it right away. If something goes wrong, like your website stops working or something isn’t safe, MonSpark quickly sends you a message.
I don't really use it much other than when I get an alert. It is pretty hands off.
Easy ti implement & integrate also.
The support is decent but nothing to gush over. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
MonSpark has so many tools and options that it can be a bit too much to handle sometimes, especially if you’re not used to this kind of thing.
The support is decent but not amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
