These Telegram bots tell you when a website, server or scheduled job stops working. Most are the alert channel of a monitoring service you set up on its website; a few free bots take a URL right in the chat.

We did not simulate outages; the ranking rests on what can be verified. For every bot we confirmed on its t.me page that it is a live bot and looked for proof of who runs it: the bot named or linked in the service's own documentation, or an open repository. That check moved UptimeRobot and StatusCake to the usernames their documentation actually names. From vendor pages, pricing tables and source code we noted check intervals, what the free plan includes and whether Telegram is part of it. Bots known only by a name, with no description or source, were removed.
Most monitoring bots in Telegram are delivery channels. UptimeRobot, HetrixTools, StatusCake, Cronitor and Oh Dear run the checks on their own servers and use the bot only to send the alert, so you create an account and set up monitors on their website. In return you get checks from several locations, SSL and domain-expiry warnings and status pages. Chat-only bots such as Uptime Notifine Bot (@uptime_notifine_bot) take a URL with a command and need no account, but they check from one place and come with no support terms.
A free plan and a free Telegram integration are not the same thing. UptimeRobot's free plan has 50 monitors but no Telegram, which starts with Solo. HetrixTools and StatusCake include Telegram for free, with 15 and 10 uptime monitors, and Healthchecks.io sends Telegram alerts for 20 jobs on its free Hobbyist plan. Compare the interval too: 5 minutes on StatusCake's free plan, 1 minute on HetrixTools and on Uptime Notifine Bot.
A site can answer 200 OK while a nightly backup quietly stopped weeks ago. Uptime checks catch the first problem; heartbeat monitors such as Healthchecks.io (@HealthchecksBot) and Cronitor (@CronitorBot) catch the second: your job calls a URL when it finishes, and silence triggers the alert. Keep an on-demand tool at hand as well. Check-Host (@checkhostbot) tells you whether a host responds right now, which is worth knowing before you declare an incident.
Yes. HetrixTools (@hetrixtools_bot) includes Telegram alerts on its free plan with 15 uptime monitors checked every minute, StatusCake (@StatusCake_bot) does the same with 10 monitors every 5 minutes, and Uptime Notifine Bot (@uptime_notifine_bot) needs no account at all.
UptimeRobot lists Telegram among the integrations of its paid plans, starting with Solo. The free plan keeps 50 monitors but only basic integrations such as Discord, Google Chat and Pushover.
Use a heartbeat monitor. Healthchecks.io (@HealthchecksBot) and Cronitor (@CronitorBot) give each job a URL to call when it finishes and alert you in Telegram when the call does not arrive on time.
