The short version
- Only UptimeRobot has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
- Each has a real cost: UptimeRobot free plan is limited to a 5 minute check interval; sub-minute checking (60 seconds) requires the paid Solo plan and faster intervals (30 or 15 seconds) require Team or Scale; CloudAMQP free shared RabbitMQ plan caps at 1 million messages per month and 20 connections, per cloudamqp.com/plans.html (Aug 2026); the next tier at $19/month raises the cap to only 10 million messages

Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
UptimeRobot
- Free plan is limited to a 5 minute check interval; sub-minute checking (60 seconds) requires the paid Solo plan and faster intervals (30 or 15 seconds) require Team or Scale
- Team plan includes only 3 seats; additional seats are not covered in the base $41/$35 per month price
- Enterprise pricing and faster-than-15-second intervals are custom and require contacting sales
CloudAMQP
- Free shared RabbitMQ plan caps at 1 million messages per month and 20 connections, per cloudamqp.com/plans.html (Aug 2026); the next tier at $19/month raises the cap to only 10 million messages
- Dedicated plans span $50 to $17,495 per month depending on throughput tier, per cloudamqp.com, so production-grade throughput above 500 msg/s requires the paid dedicated tiers rather than the shared plan
