RealUptime Monitor vs Site24x7
Site24x7 monitors nearly everything: websites, servers, applications (APM), real users (RUM), networks, and cloud accounts, sold as separate plan packs starting at $9/mo billed annually. It is a serious suite from a serious company. RealUptime Monitor covers deliberately less ground. This page lays out both honestly, sourced to Site24x7's own pricing page and dated.

Is there a free tier?
RealUptime is free to start and never asks for a card. One signup turns on the free rung of every product: 10 monitors with a public status page, 5 server-agent slots, and 10,000 error events a month kept for 14 days. RealUptime Outages is free to read with no account at all.
Site24x7: a free plan monitoring up to 50 resources with email alerts, per its pricing page.
Is it open source or self-hosted?
RealUptime's core is a hosted service and its source is not published, so there is no self-hosted edition of the platform itself. The parts that run on your side are open source at github.com/RealUptimeHQ: the CLI and the RealUptime Errors SDKs for JavaScript, Python, Go, PHP and Ruby are MIT-licensed, and the Grafana data source is Apache 2.0.
Site24x7: a hosted product that publishes no source and no self-hosted edition.
If self-hosting is a hard requirement, these are the open-source options in this category: Uptime Kuma (MIT), OpenStatus (AGPL-3.0), Healthchecks.io (BSD 3-Clause) and OneUptime (Apache 2.0).
