Escalation policies
Pingdom doesn't have escalation policies. With Hyperping, you can create tiered alert systems to ensure critical issues reach the appropriate team members. Set up automatic escalation to managers if initial alerts aren't acknowledged within your defined timeframe.
Browser checks with Playwright
Pingdom uses pseudo-code for browser checks, proprietary technology that locks you in with limited functionality. With Hyperping, you write real JavaScript code using Playwright, a popular Node.js library. This means you can monitor complex user journeys, detect broken third-party integrations, check SPA performance, and validate SEO elements with unlimited flexibility.
Advanced status pages
Pingdom only offers basic public status pages with limited customization. Hyperping goes farther with component-level statuses, private pages (password-protected or Single-Sign On), multi-tenancy (host pages on behalf of your customers), advanced branding options, and custom domains included at no extra cost.
Built-in cron job monitoring
Pingdom doesn't monitor scheduled tasks and background jobs. Hyperping includes cron job monitoring to ensure your critical background processes are running smoothly, from database cleanups to report generation.
Plus, Hyperping offers better value than Pingdom

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.
