Reasons to switch

01

Fixed prices instead of a calculator

At Cronitor, every monitor costs $2 and every user $5 — 50 monitors with 3 users already come to $115/month. LIVCK has fixed plans with everything included.

02

Statuspage at no extra charge

Cronitor's statuspage carries Cronitor branding — your own branding costs $25, private pages $50 per month extra. With LIVCK, custom branding and private pages are in every plan.

03

Self-hosted available

Cronitor is SaaS only. LIVCK runs via Docker Compose on your own server — your cron job monitoring belongs to you, including all data.

04

GDPR by Design

Cronitor is based in the US, as are all of its sub-processors — with no advertised EU data residency. LIVCK runs on your server or in German data centers.

05

More than cron jobs

Cronitor watches jobs and URLs. LIVCK combines monitoring with a professional statuspage and full incident management — a confirmed outage becomes transparent communication in one step.
