Start monitoring free“Hyperping’s reputation in our company is that it’s more reactive than Datadog. We usually get notifications from Hyperping before Datadog.”
Instatus checks from one location at a time, in rotation. Hyperping runs every check every 30 seconds from the regions you pick among 18, and confirms a failure from the other regions before it alerts or touches your status page, so a network blip never posts a false incident.
Instatus checks websites, APIs, ports and DNS, but not user journeys. Hyperping runs standard Playwright scripts, so a broken login or checkout shows up on your status page even when the homepage still answers 200.
Instatus Pro is $20/mo for 50 monitors with email and SMS alerts; phone calls, SAML SSO and 1,000 monitors wait on Business at $300/mo. Hyperping Pro at $74/mo includes 250 monitors, voice call alerts, on-call and 3 public or private pages. See our Instatus pricing analysis.

Then point your custom domain at Hyperping and import your subscribers. Most Instatus setups are live on Hyperping in under an hour, and our team can do it for you on any paid plan.

If one good-looking public page with light checks is all you need, Instatus is a fine choice. If the page has to reflect outages you can trust, with browser journeys, calls to the on-call engineer and several pages in one plan, Hyperping does that below Instatus's Business price.
One platform that detects, alerts, and communicates.
