WatchEU-hosted & GDPR-first
A Danish company, data kept in the EU and a DPA on request — not an afterthought bolted onto a US service.
Alternative
A GDPR-first alternative for European teams
If you are comparing uptime tools, here is why European teams pick WatchControl: data in the EU, fast checks and every monitor type in one product — with a genuinely free plan.
Why switch
Built for how European teams work
These are the things teams tell us matter most when they move their monitoring to WatchControl.
Checks every minute
1-minute checks on paid plans for faster detection, and 5-minute checks even on the free plan.
All-in-one
HTTP/HTTPS, keyword, TCP port, TLS certificate, ICMP ping and heartbeat (cron) — six monitor types in one place, no add-ons.
Email, webhook & SMS
Email and webhooks on every plan, plus pay-as-you-go SMS credits that never expire.
Proof you can show
Response-time history, public status pages and monthly SLA reports built in.
Free to start
A free plan with no credit card — try it on your own services before you decide.
