Looking for a PagerDuty alternative? If the pages your team gets are downtime pages, Hyperping detects the outage and runs the on-call rotation in one $74/mo plan, with status pages and 10 seats included. PagerDuty routes alerts but doesn't detect them, so a monitoring bill sits on top.
Free plan, 20 monitors. No credit card, no time limit.

Paying PagerDuty per user and a monitoring vendor on top? Pro is $74/mo flat with 10 seats: 250 monitors, on-call, escalation policies and 3 public or private status pages in the same plan.
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.”
PagerDuty is an incident response platform that relies on third-party tools (Datadog, New Relic, Pingdom) to detect issues. With Hyperping, monitoring and alerting are built into the same platform. You detect downtime and alert your team without stitching together multiple tools and paying multiple vendors.
PagerDuty caps status page subscribers at 250 on Professional; more takes its paid Status Pages add-on or a PD Reliability Platform plan, billed per year from $2,800, so teams often add an Atlassian Statuspage subscription on top. Hyperping Pro includes 3 public or private status pages (custom domains, private pages with password or email-code protection), and Business includes 10, at no extra cost.
PagerDuty doesn't offer synthetic monitoring. Hyperping lets you write real Playwright scripts to monitor complex user journeys, checkout flows, login sequences, and critical business transactions.
PagerDuty's per-user pricing quickly adds up for growing teams. Their Professional plan starts at $21/user/month, and the PD Reliability Platform above it is billed per year, from $2,800 for 5 seats (10 during PagerDuty's current bonus offer). Hyperping uses flat-rate plans with seats included (10 on Pro, 20 on Business) and extra seats at $9/month on Pro or $12/month on Business, so your costs stay predictable as your team grows.
PagerDuty doesn't include monitoring. Most teams pair it with Datadog ($15/host/mo), Pingdom ($136+/mo billed annually for 100 checks), or New Relic, adding $100-500+/mo on top of PagerDuty's per-user pricing.
A 5-person team on PagerDuty Professional + Pingdom easily costs $200+/month.
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, with 10 seats included and $9/seat after that.
No per-user meter on the first ten seats, then $9/month per extra seat on Pro. No separate monitoring subscription. One platform, one bill.
These are not the same product, and pretending otherwise would waste your time. PagerDuty is an incident response platform: event intelligence and alert grouping at volume, 750+ native integrations, service directories, stakeholder communication, custom incident types and roles, and workflows that span far beyond infrastructure.
If your alerts come from a dozen different systems, or you need AIOps-grade noise reduction, stay on PagerDuty. Hyperping doesn't do those things and won't pretend to.
Hyperping fits the other case: the alerts that wake your team are downtime alerts, you're paying PagerDuty per user plus a monitoring vendor to produce them, and a status page sits on a third invoice.

It depends on where your alerts come from. If they are downtime alerts, Hyperping replaces both PagerDuty and the monitoring tool: uptime checks, on-call, escalation policies and status pages for $74/mo with 10 seats. If you route alerts from dozens of systems and need event intelligence, incident.io, Rootly or PagerDuty itself fit better. Our PagerDuty alternatives guide compares five tools.
For teams whose alerts come from uptime, cron and browser checks, yes: Hyperping detects the issue and runs the on-call rotation in one platform, so it replaces both the monitoring tool and PagerDuty. If you route alerts from many third-party systems, or rely on event intelligence, service directories or custom incident types, PagerDuty does things Hyperping does not.
Compared with PagerDuty Professional, yes for a five-person team. Professional is $21/user/month billed annually, $105/month for five, and doesn't include monitoring, so a monitoring vendor sits on top. Hyperping Pro is $74/month with 10 seats, 250 monitors and 3 public or private status pages included, then $9 per additional seat. PagerDuty also has a free plan for up to 5 users, with basic on-call and no monitoring either.
Yes. Hyperping supports multi-level escalation policies, on-call schedules, and alerting via phone calls, SMS, Slack, email, and other channels.
Export your schedules and escalation policies from PagerDuty's API, recreate them in Hyperping, connect the monitors that should page, and run both tools in parallel until the alerts match.
