The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Site24x7 website and infrastructure monitoring are sold as separate plan tracks; the entry Web Uptime plan ($9/month annual) covers only 25 websites and does not include server monitoring, which requires a separate Lite infrastructure plan; Dropbox the free Basic plan gives 2 GB of storage
