Dotcom-Monitor Alternative for Uptime + Status Pages
Enterprise synthetic monitoring with real-browser transactions and package-based pricing. DevHelm bundles protocol monitoring, custom-domain status pages, and monitors-as-code into flat tiers — no per-technology packages.

Monitors and status pages from one config
Dotcom-Monitor configures devices through its dashboard and REST API — no official CLI, Terraform provider, or SDKs. DevHelm defines monitors, alert channels, and status page bindings in the same YAML or Terraform file, PR-reviewed in git, deployed with `devhelm deploy`. No Status.io webhook glue between a separate monitor and a separate status page vendor.
MCP server for AI agents
Cursor, Claude Desktop, and other MCP clients can query incidents, create monitors, and ack alerts directly.
Know when it's them, not you
Dotcom-Monitor alerts when your monitors fail — same as any uptime tool. DevHelm correlates against live dependency status across 80+ vendors and can surface upstream outages on your status page, cutting duplicate alerts during AWS or Cloudflare incidents.
Stack replacement

- 50 monitors at 5-minute checks across all regions
