SiteWatch vs UptimeRobot
UptimeRobot tells you the server is up. SiteWatch tells you the money path still works.
UptimeRobot is excellent at HTTP checks, status pages, and cheap alerts for developers. SiteWatch is for owners: forms, call buttons, and book-now links, with a weekly dollar estimate in plain English.

Choose UptimeRobot when
You need second-level uptime, SMS/voice paging, or dozens of technical monitors on a developer budget.
Choose SiteWatch when
Your homepage returns 200 while the contact form, phone link, or primary CTA is dead — and you want that written as revenue risk, not a green checkmark.
