Site24x7 (by ManageEngine/Zoho) is a comprehensive all-in-one monitoring platform. Websites, servers, networks, applications, cloud, APM, RUM - it does everything.

Choose PerkyDash if:
You want simple uptime monitoring + status pages without enterprise complexity.
Different companies, different approaches
Powerful, but complex
Site24x7 can monitor almost anything:
Reviews consistently mention:
If you need all those features, Site24x7 delivers. If you just need uptime + status pages, it's overkill.
Let's talk about the real costs
| Plan | Price | Included |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 5 monitors (limited) |
| Starter | $9/mo | 10 basic monitors |
| Pro | $35/mo | 40 monitors + APM |
| Classic | $89/mo | 100 monitors + more |
| Elite | $225/mo | 250 monitors + full suite |
| Enterprise | Custom | Everything |
Pricing is per 'monitor type' - basic, advanced, host monitors have different costs. Add-ons extra. Reviews call it 'confusing'.
Full monitoring + status pages + visual diff
Everything + white-label + more monitors
Flat pricing. All features included. No add-ons, no complexity.
PerkyDash is simpler and includes status pages

Credit where it's due
Websites, servers, networks, apps, cloud, logs - one platform for everything.
CPU, RAM, disk, processes. PerkyDash doesn't do this.
Code-level application tracing. Java, .NET, PHP, Node.js, Ruby, Python.
Track actual user experience, not just synthetic tests.
Monitor from almost anywhere in the world.
Native AWS, Azure, GCP monitoring and cost management.
If you use Zoho products, Site24x7 integrates natively.
5 monitors free forever (limited, but free).
Bottom line: If you need APM, server monitoring, or cloud infrastructure monitoring, Site24x7 is genuinely more capable. It's built for that scale.
Where we deliver unique value
Automatically catch visual/layout changes. Site24x7 doesn't offer this.
Site24x7 requires separate StatusIQ subscription. PerkyDash includes status pages.
Free instant status page during crisis. No signup.
Two plans. All features. No 'monitor types', no add-ons, no confusion.
For uptime + status pages: $9.99/mo vs $29+/mo.
10 minutes vs learning curve. No enterprise complexity.
For agencies. Site24x7 doesn't offer this.
No sales calls, no procurement cycles. Sign up and monitor.
An important distinction
Site24x7 and StatusIQ (their status page product) are separate subscriptions.
If you want both monitoring AND status pages from Zoho, you pay for both. StatusIQ pricing:
| Free | 1 status page, 25 subscribers |
| Green | $9/mo per page |
| Blue | $19/mo per page |
| Premium | $49/mo per page |
Site24x7 Starter ($9) + StatusIQ Green ($9) = $18/mo minimum for monitoring + 1 status page
PerkyDash: $9.99/mo includes monitoring + status pages. One product, one price.
Choose based on your actual needs
Budget is zero and you can self-host. Try Uptime Kuma.
Everything you need to know
Site24x7 is enterprise all-in-one monitoring. If you need servers, networks, APM, cloud, logs, RUM - it does it all. But it's complex, pricing is confusing, and status pages cost extra.
PerkyDash is focused monitoring + status pages. Less powerful, but simpler, cheaper, and includes everything most indie makers and small teams actually need.
