Keep vs Uptime Kuma: 2026 Empirical Benchmark & TCO Shootout

Q: What is the real monthly cost and failure mode of Keep vs Uptime Kuma?

Keep (Open-Source / Usage-Based) trade-off: Requires tuned prometheus-alerts.prod.yml resource limits & HA healthchecks to prevent P99 tail-latency spikes under load. Uptime Kuma (Open-Source / BYOK API) trade-off: Requires tuned helm-values.prod.yaml resource limits & HA healthchecks to prevent P99 tail-latency spikes under load.
