Hyperping and Checkly both offer Playwright-based monitoring...
...but Hyperping is a complete monitoring platform
More than synthetic monitoring
Checkly is focused purely on synthetic monitoring and API checks. If you need uptime monitoring, on-call scheduling, or status pages, you need additional tools. Hyperping combines all of this into one platform alongside Playwright-based browser checks.
On-call and incident management
Checkly relies on external integrations (PagerDuty, OpsGenie) for alerting and on-call management. Hyperping includes built-in on-call scheduling, escalation policies, and incident management, so your team can respond to issues without extra tools or subscriptions.
Status pages included
Checkly doesn't offer status pages. Hyperping includes unlimited advanced status pages with custom domains, private pages with SSO, and multi-tenant support at no extra cost.
One platform replaces Checkly + PagerDuty + Pingdom
Checkly pricing
Checkly charges based on check runs. Their Team plan starts at $250/month for 600K check runs.
You still need separate tools for uptime monitoring (Pingdom, Datadog) and alerting (PagerDuty), adding $100-300+/month.
Hyperping includes it all
Hyperping Pro at $74/mo includes 100 uptime monitors, 10 Playwright browser checks, cron monitoring, on-call scheduling, escalation policies, incident management, and unlimited status pages.
Everything a team needs to monitor, alert, and communicate — in one platform.
Bottom line
Checkly is excellent for teams focused on monitoring-as-code and CI/CD testing pipelines.
If you need a complete monitoring and incident response platform with Playwright checks, uptime monitoring, and on-call management, Hyperping is a simpler and more cost-effective choice.
"Hyperping's reputation in our company is that it's more reactive than Datadog. We usually get notifications from Hyperping before Datadog."
