The short version

  • Only Envoy has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • 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; Envoy licensed under Apache License 2.0 per the project's GitHub repository (envoyproxy/envoy LICENSE); as a CNCF graduated project it has no paid tier or vendor price to compare

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

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
  • Entry infrastructure Lite plan covers only 2 servers and 25 child resources before requiring an upgrade to Professional
  • The discounted monthly-equivalent prices shown (e.g. $9/month for Web Uptime) require annual prepayment; standard monthly billing is priced higher (e.g. $10/month)
  • Enterprise tier pricing starts at $625/month and Enterprise Plus Web at $899/month, both paid annually

Envoy

  • Licensed under Apache License 2.0 per the project's GitHub repository (envoyproxy/envoy LICENSE); as a CNCF graduated project it has no paid tier or vendor price to compare
  • Envoy is a proxy that runs alongside each application instance, per envoyproxy.io, requiring a sidecar or edge deployment model rather than a single centralized install
