Subscriptions

Our unique subscription model brings onboard a concept of basic monitors and advanced monitors based on the number of monitors. Each subscription plan offers a set number of basic monitors, advanced monitors, RUM Page views, Network Interfaces, and Alert Credits with it. You can choose a specific plan based on your business needs and further top-up your plan by purchasing any number of additional add-ons and credits for that plan. To learn more about the cost of add-ons and other licensing details, refer our pricing page.

Based on your requirements, you can always modify your monitor resource count within Site24x7 and puchase additional add-ons and alert credits. At any given point during your current subscription cycle, you have the freedom to switch over to a different plan. We support payment via Credit Card, Paypal and Purchase Order. For additional payment-related information, refer here.

Purchase Add-Ons:

Add-ons are "mini packages" of monitors that can augment your existing subscription. Additionally, they give you the flexibility to add/reduce monitors without moving to a new subscription plan. You can purchase any number of additional add-ons based on your chosen plan. Site24x7 offers basic monitors, advanced monitors, RUM page views, and Network Interfaces as add-on packages. To know more on our add-ons pricing, refer here.

Purchase Alert Credits (SMS/Voice):

Voice or SMS alerts allow you to instantly receive critical downtime alerts via a voice synthesized phone call or an SMS. Free alert credits (recurring) will be added to your account as you signup for the plan. Based on your subscribed plan, alert credits will be added to your account month-on-month. Incase you've exhausted your free credits for the month, you will also be able to purchase additional alert credits as per your need; however, any unused credit (including purchased alert credits) will not be carried over to the next month.

Site24x7 doesn't discriminate between the topped up monthly alert credits and the purchased alert credits. They both go into the same alert credits pool. Every month, Site24x7 tops-up the remaining alert credits, if the alert credits are below the monthly quota offered. Read more on this in our Kbase article. Also, read more about our pricing.

   1 SMS = 1 credit
   1 Voice alert in US /Canada = 1 credit
   1 Voice alert outside US = 2 credits

Hourly Billing

The Hourly Billing option helps you to add specific monitor types even after using all the monitors in your license pack. Scaling up your environment is hassle free with the Hourly Billing option.

The monitors under the Hourly Billing option will be charged based on the number of hours for which they are used.
