Website health monitoring starts every 5 minutes by default — uptime, SSL, DNS, blank pages, JavaScript errors.
NorthDuty vs CheckView
CheckView is commonly evaluated by WordPress and WooCommerce teams for scheduled, cloud-based testing of forms and checkout. If you are looking for an alternative, the usual questions are cadence (daily test runs vs continuous monitoring), quota (a monthly test-run allowance vs journeys that just keep running), and scope (WordPress-focused testing vs monitoring any client site).

NorthDuty vs CheckView
Compare scheduled WordPress-focused testing with continuous journey and website health monitoring.
| Criteria | NorthDuty | CheckView |
|---|---|---|
| Core focus | Continuous monitoring: journeys, uptime, page health, visual changes, status pages | Scheduled cloud testing of WordPress forms and WooCommerce checkout |
| Cadence | Journeys on your schedule, up to every 5 minutes; health checks every 5 minutes by default | Scheduled daily or weekly automated test runs, metered by a monthly test quota |
| Pricing model | Sized by journeys and sites — $29 Starter (3 journeys, 3 sites), $79 Pro (20 journeys, 10 sites) | Sized by test runs — $35/mo Essentials (250 tests, forms only), WooCommerce testing from the $70/mo Plus plan (1,000 tests) |
| Site coverage | Any website you operate — WordPress, WooCommerce, custom, headless | WordPress form plugins and WooCommerce checkout, plus non-WordPress forms |
| Form-plugin depth | Monitors the rendered form and full submission journey from outside | Deep integrations with Gravity Forms, WPForms, Fluent Forms, Contact Form 7 and others, including CAPTCHA bypass for test submissions |
| Beyond forms and checkout | Uptime, SSL, DNS, JavaScript errors, API monitors, visual change detection, status pages, incident management | Focused on form and checkout testing; broader site monitoring is not the reviewed product's scope |
Where scheduled test runs leave gaps
Scheduled testing answers an important question: did the form or checkout work when the test ran? For many teams a daily or weekly run is a real safety net.
The gap is everything between runs. A plugin auto-update at 2pm that breaks checkout is invisible to a test that ran at 9am — and on the reviewed pricing page, CheckView plans meter a monthly test-run quota (250 to 2,000 runs), which is what makes frequent runs across many sites expensive. Broader signals such as uptime, SSL expiry, DNS, visual layout changes, and public status pages sit outside a forms-and-checkout testing scope.
Why continuous journey monitoring matters
A checkout that breaks after a plugin update costs revenue every minute until someone notices — and for agencies, the expensive version of that is the client noticing first.
NorthDuty runs your checkout, signup, login, and form journeys in a real browser on a schedule you control — up to every 5 minutes on paid plans — with no monthly test-run quota. The same project includes uptime and website health checks every 5 minutes, SSL and DNS monitoring, screenshot-based visual change detection, and a public status page. And because NorthDuty monitors from the outside, it works on any website — WordPress, WooCommerce, or the custom and headless sites in the rest of a client roster.

Answers to common buying questions for teams comparing monitoring options.
What is a good CheckView alternative?
NorthDuty suits teams that want the checkout and form coverage to run continuously — up to every 5 minutes — instead of on daily scheduled runs, and want uptime, SSL, visual change detection, and status pages in the same project. It also monitors non-WordPress sites, which matters for agencies with mixed client rosters.
When is CheckView the better fit?
If your primary need is deep, plugin-aware testing of WordPress forms — including CAPTCHA bypass for test submissions and integrations with specific form plugins — CheckView's testing focus is a genuine strength.
Does NorthDuty have a test-run quota?
No. Plans are sized by how many journeys you monitor and across how many sites; each journey runs on the schedule you set rather than drawing down a monthly allowance.
Does NorthDuty work outside WordPress?
Yes. NorthDuty monitors from the outside in a real browser, so it covers WordPress and WooCommerce sites the same way it covers custom, headless, or SaaS sites.
