The Editorial Verdict
Replaces UptimeRobot cleanly. Set up monitors for HTTP endpoints, TCP ports, or ping, and get alerts via nearly any channel you can think of. The dashboard is pleasant and the public status pages are genuinely nice. Runs fine on a small VPS, and it's worth having it somewhere other than your main server so it can alert you when the main server goes down.

Replacing Proprietary Software
Uptime Kuma is designed as an open, verifiable replacement for UptimeRobot, Pingdom. Migrating to it gives you direct control over your infrastructure, eliminates recurring subscription fees, and prevents proprietary platform lock-in.
