Pricing

Plus, Hyperping offers better value than Pingdom

A straightforward view of what each plan gives your team.

Free tier

Pingdom offers a 14-day free trial with no ongoing free plan.

Hyperping offers 20 monitors with 5-minute intervals and a status page permanently free.

Starter monitoring

Pingdom's cheapest plan starts at $14.33/mo for 10 monitors, 1 advanced check, and 50 SMS.

Hyperping starts at $24/mo for 50 monitors with 30-second intervals, plus escalation policies among other things that aren't available in Pingdom.

Advanced features

Pingdom charges about $110/mo for 100 monitors and 20 advanced checks on annual billing.

Hyperping starts $74/mo for 100 monitors and includes browser monitoring, escalation policies, cron job monitoring, 3 public/private status pages, and 5 seats.

Bottom line

While Pingdom has an extensive global network and enterprise pedigree, it comes with enterprise complexity and pricing.

Hyperping delivers modern monitoring capabilities — including features Pingdom doesn't offer — while staying affordable, with simpler pricing and no vendor lock-in for your browser monitoring scripts.

If you need a monitoring solution that combines reliability with modern features and fair pricing, Hyperping is the clear choice over Pingdom's legacy approach.
