AlwaysUp is better than free alternatives (and it's supported too)

Thinking of using a free solution to run your application as a service?

Free is a fine choice for some circumstances but please be cautious in a commercial environment — where there may be financial or reputational consequences when things don't work smoothly.

Be sure to read this article before finalizing your decision.


AlwaysUp is safe & secure (so you can rest easy)

In a world where viruses and malware lurk around every corner, it's important to have high standards for the software you install and run.

This article describes the security features that we've baked into AlwaysUp — to ensure that you and our many customers are protected from bad actors.


Save time & money by using AlwaysUp instead of writing your own code

And are you OK dedicating even more time to maintaining the code up as the Windows operating system evolves?

Read this article to find out why (and when) it's better to rely on AlwaysUp.
