Read the story
“Hyperping’s reputation in our company is that it’s more reactive than Datadog. We usually get notifications from Hyperping before Datadog.”
Fabrice GregoireSite Reliability Engineer, Alma

More than an uptime checker. One workflow to detect issues, reach the right people and keep customers informed.

  • Built for teams, not just developers

    Oh Dear is built around website health: uptime, broken links, certificates, DNS and Lighthouse. Hyperping is built for teams that need on-call scheduling, escalation policies, and incident management alongside their monitoring.

  • Deterministic browser checks, not prompted ones

    Both products can watch a user journey, but differently. Oh Dear drives a real browser with an AI agent from a plain-English prompt: the first 5 runs are free, then it runs on your own OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini or xAI key. Hyperping runs Playwright scripts you write and version, so the same steps and the same assertions run every time and a failure points at a line of code.

  • Status pages tied to the alert that fired

    Oh Dear's status pages are genuinely good: unlimited, fully branded, on your own domain, and hideable behind a secret URL. The difference is what sits behind them. Hyperping Pro includes 3 public or private status pages (10 on Business) with password or email-code protection, wired to the same on-call rotation and escalation policy that paged your team, so the incident, the alert and the customer update are one workflow.

More features, better value

  1. 01

    Oh Dear pricing

    Oh Dear prices purely by site count: €49/month covers 10 sites, €149/month covers 50, and 100 sites reach €249/month. Every feature is included on every plan, and there is no free tier.

    For on-call and incident management, you'd still need to add PagerDuty, Opsgenie, or a similar tool on top.

  2. 02

    Hyperping bundles everything

    Hyperping Pro at $74/mo includes 250 uptime monitors, 10 browser checks, cron monitoring, on-call scheduling, escalation policies, incident management, and 3 public or private status pages.

    No separate tools needed for alerting or incident response, and a free plan with 20 monitors to start.

  3. 03

    Bottom line

    Oh Dear excels at website health checks with unique features like broken link detection, Lighthouse audits, and DNS change alerts, and its all-features-on-every-plan model is refreshingly honest.

    If you monitor many sites or need a complete incident response platform with on-call, escalation policies, and browser checks, Hyperping delivers more value at a fraction of the per-site cost.

Hyperping vs. Oh Dear, your questions.

What is the best Oh Dear alternative?

If you need the incident side as well as the checks, Hyperping: 250 monitors, Playwright browser checks, on-call with escalation policies and 3 status pages on Pro for $74/mo billed annually, plus a free plan with 20 monitors. If broken links, mixed content and Lighthouse reports per site are what you use most, Oh Dear stays the better fit; the website monitoring tools guide covers other options.

How does Hyperping compare to Oh Dear?

They solve adjacent problems. Oh Dear is site health: uptime plus broken links, mixed content, certificate and DNS changes, and Lighthouse audits, with unlimited branded status pages on every plan. Hyperping is the incident chain: monitoring from 18 regions, scripted Playwright checks, on-call rotations, escalation policies and status pages in one workflow. Oh Dear has no on-call or escalation policies; Hyperping doesn't crawl your site for broken links.

Does Hyperping have more monitoring types than Oh Dear?

Yes. In addition to HTTP, SSL and domain expiry monitoring, Hyperping offers TCP port checks, DNS monitoring, cron job monitoring, and Playwright-based browser checks.

Is Hyperping more affordable than Oh Dear?

At scale, yes, but check the unit. Oh Dear prices by site: €49/month for 10 sites, €249/month for 100 (about €208/month billed yearly), and one "site" bundles uptime, broken links, mixed content, certificates and performance for that domain. Hyperping Pro covers 250 monitors for $74/month and adds on-call and escalation policies that Oh Dear doesn't have. Hyperping also has a free plan with 20 monitors, while Oh Dear starts at €15/month after its trial.
