Why Teams Switch from Better Uptime to UptimeEye
Why Multi-Step Flow Monitoring Matters
Most monitoring tools only check if your site is "up". UptimeEye monitors complete user journeys - catching failures before your customers do.
Better Uptime's Simple Check
Basic uptime monitoring - just checks if the page loads
The Problem:
Site appears "up" even when critical features are broken. Customers find bugs before you do.
UptimeEye's Multi-Step Flow
Complete user journey testing - verify every critical step
The Advantage:
Catch failures before customers do. Monitor what actually matters - not just if the site is up, but if revenue-critical flows work end-to-end.
Real-World Examples:
🛒E-commerce
Monitor: Login → Browse products → Add to cart → Checkout → Payment → Confirmation email
💼SaaS Platform
Monitor: Signup → Onboarding → Dashboard → Key feature → Data export → Billing
🔌API Services
Monitor: Auth token → Fetch data → Process request → Return results → Webhook callback
What Competitors Charge for Multi-Step Monitoring
Competitors:
UptimeEye
€49/month
3 flows + 25 checks
Save $50-250/month vs competitors
Bottom line: Professional multi-step monitoring at a fraction of enterprise pricing

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about switching from Better Uptime to UptimeEye.
Multi-step monitoring tests complete user journeys, not just if your site is 'up'. For example: Can users login → browse → add to cart → checkout → get confirmation? Better Uptime offers limited scenarios only - not a core feature of their platform. UptimeEye gives you 3 professional flows (10 steps each) at €49/month - designed specifically for testing revenue-critical flows like e-commerce checkouts, complex signup/onboarding funnels, and multi-step API authentication chains. This is where critical failures happen that simple uptime checks miss entirely.
