Uptime monitors watch whether a URL responds. Audit tools grade a crawl on one date. Store monitors read the store's own data — orders, prices, stock. The three sound alike in a listing and catch entirely different failures, so these pages set out what each one sees, including the rows where the other tool is the better buy.
