Wanepia vs Uptime Kuma
Uptime Kuma monitors URLs. Wanepia monitors your services — with a catalog, structured entities, push checks, and a full REST API your team and agents can drive.
Uptime Kuma
A self-hosted uptime monitoring tool with a clean UI. Great for personal projects and simple URL health checks. No API, no service catalog, single-user focus.
Wanepia
API-first service catalog with built-in uptime monitoring. Designed for engineering teams: structured blueprints, push checks, multi-tenant access, and alerting via Slack, Discord, Telegram, webhook and ntfy.

Choose Uptime Kuma if…
You want a simple, self-hosted tool to ping URLs and get notified when something is down. No teams, no API, no catalog — just you and a list of services to monitor.
Choose Wanepia if…
You run more than a handful of services, have a team, or need your monitoring to be programmable. Wanepia gives you a queryable catalog your CI/CD, agents, and on-call runbooks can talk to.
Bottom line
Uptime Kuma is a great tool for simple URL monitoring. If that's all you need, it's hard to beat. But once you start managing multiple services across teams — or want your infrastructure catalog to be the source of truth for on-call, agents, and deployment pipelines — you need something built for that from the start.
Wanepia is the API-first layer that Uptime Kuma was never designed to be.
