Monitor the things that shouldn't fail silently
Keep your services, jobs, and endpoints under control with reliable monitoring.
Alerts where your team already works
Slack, Discord, Telegram, Google Chat, or plain email. Every integration runs through EU infrastructure — no data routed through US servers.
Why EU-hosted monitoring matters
Your data sovereignty isn't just a checkbox — it's a requirement.
Your monitoring data never leaves Europe
Checks, alerts, and logs are processed on EU infrastructure. No data ever touches US servers.
No US cloud providers in the data path
Avoid Schrems II uncertainty and cross-border transfer risks. Your DPO will thank you.
Simpler GDPR compliance
No extra DPAs or legal gymnastics to justify monitoring tools. It just works.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where exactly is my data hosted?
Our primary data centers are in Falkenstein (Germany), Gravelines (France) and Warsaw (Poland).
We do not route traffic through US servers.
Do you offer a Data Processing Agreement (DPA)?
Yes. Once you sign up, you can generate and sign a compliant DPA directly from your dashboard for your records.
What happens if WatchCat goes down?
WatchCat is built with the same mindset as the services it monitors: failure must be expected and contained.
Our infrastructure is redundant, health-checked, and monitored independently from customer checks. Core components run with failover in place, and critical paths are designed to degrade gracefully rather than silently fail.
If WatchCat itself experiences an incident, we treat it like any other outage—with internal alerts, post-incident review, and transparency. Monitoring the monitor is not optional.
In short: if something breaks, we know about it—and we tell you.
How fast are alerts sent?
Alerts are typically delivered within seconds after a failure is confirmed.
Checks run continuously, and notifications are dispatched immediately once a monitor transitions into a failing state (after any configured confirmation or grace period). In practice, this means:
- detection → confirmation → notification happens very fast
- no artificial delays or batching
Actual delivery time also depends on the notification channel itself (email provider, Slack, webhook receiver, etc.), but WatchCat does not intentionally slow alerts down
Can I migrate from UptimeRobot or Better Uptime?
Yes. While there is no one-click importer yet, migrating is straightforward.
Most users recreate their monitors manually in a few minutes, especially for HTTP checks and cron jobs. The concepts are familiar, and WatchCat avoids unnecessary complexity during setup.
What regions do you monitor from?
All monitoring runs from European regions, optimized for EU-based services and customers.
This provides:
- realistic latency measurements for European users
- data residency aligned with EU expectations
- simpler compliance for GDPR-focused companies
Additional regions may be added in the future, but Europe is the default — not an afterthought.
Do you support on-call schedules or escalations?
Not yet.
WatchCat currently focuses on fast detection and reliable delivery, without complex on-call rotations or escalation policies. That said, on-call schedules and alert escalations are planned and already part of the roadmap.
We prefer shipping these features when they’re solid rather than half-finished.
What payment methods do you accept?
Payments are handled securely via Lemon Squeezy.
This means you can pay using:
- major credit and debit cards
- international payments without friction
- EU-friendly invoicing and tax handling
All billing details, invoices, and receipts are managed automatically.
Why is WatchCat billed monthly only?
Monitoring is built on trust. Monthly billing keeps WatchCat simple, transparent, and easy to cancel — you stay because it works for you, not because you prepaid a year in advance.
No lock-in, no forgotten renewals.
