Free to install. Not free to run.

Uptime Kuma costs nothing to license, then you supply the server, the upkeep, and the single location it checks from. Compare what each option really includes.

Why teams choose Hyperping

More than an uptime checker.

One focused workflow for detecting issues, reaching the right people, and keeping customers informed.

No server to maintain

Uptime Kuma requires you to host, update, and maintain your own monitoring server. If that server goes down, your monitoring goes down. Hyperping is a fully managed service that runs from multiple global locations, ensuring your monitoring is always on.

Multi-location monitoring

Uptime Kuma checks from a single server location. Hyperping checks from multiple locations worldwide and uses multi-location verification to eliminate false positives. If one region has a network issue, your team doesn't get woken up at 3am for nothing.

Team features built-in

Uptime Kuma is designed for individual use. When your team grows, you need escalation policies, on-call scheduling, and role-based access. Hyperping includes all team features by default.

Pricing

Free isn't always cheaper

A straightforward view of what each plan gives your team.

The hidden cost of self-hosting

Uptime Kuma is free and open source, but you need a server to run it. A reliable VPS costs $5-20/month, plus your time maintaining it.

Factor in the engineering time for updates, backups, and troubleshooting, and the true cost often exceeds a managed service.

Hyperping starts free

Hyperping's free plan includes 20 monitors with a status page, no server required.

Need more? Essentials at $24/mo adds 30-second checks, 50 monitors, 3 browser checks, on-call and escalation policies. Pro at $74/mo adds phone call alerts, 100 monitors, 10 browser checks, 3 status pages and 5 seats.

Bottom line

Uptime Kuma is a great project for hobbyists and developers who enjoy self-hosting. For teams that need reliable, multi-location monitoring with on-call and incident management, Hyperping provides a managed solution that just works.
