What you give up vs UptimeRobot
- Configuration is TOML-file based with no admin UI
- Status page and incident workflow are simpler than Statuspage.io (no subscriber management or incident history UX)
- Single-region probing
- Smaller community and fewer integrations than commercial products
What you gain
- • Full data ownership — self-host Vigil on your own infrastructure.
- • No per-seat SaaS bill (UptimeRobot: monitor and interval limits).
- • Open-source code you can audit and extend (MPL-2.0).
