# Uptime Kuma Manager vs Forgejo Heatmap

The clearest difference is rating: Uptime Kuma Manager at 4.3 against Forgejo Heatmap's 3.0. Uptime Kuma Manager also leads on ratings volume (43 vs 2) and chart position (#139 vs unranked). Forgejo Heatmap's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and review sentiment (100% vs 70%). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Uptime Kuma Manager sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month. Forgejo Heatmap asks for nothing beyond the download.

Uptime Kuma Manager holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Uptime Kuma Manager has 43 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of Uptime Kuma Manager's written reviews are positive against 100% of Forgejo Heatmap's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Uptime Kuma Manager ships an update every 9 days, Forgejo Heatmap fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
