Uptrack vs Hyperping
Hyperping is a polished monitoring tool with browser checks and on-call. But the $24/mo starting price and per-seat billing add up fast.
Uptrack is the only monitoring tool with 30-second checks on its free plan. Most others start at 1–5 minutes, or charge $10+/mo for 30s.

Why people switch from Hyperping
Hyperping offers a clean experience with browser checks and on-call scheduling. But 30-second checks require their Essentials plan at $24/mo, and per-seat pricing means costs grow with your team.
Expensive for simple uptime monitoring
At $24/mo for their Essentials plan, Hyperping costs nearly 5x what Uptrack charges for comparable uptime monitoring. If you don't need browser checks or on-call, you're paying for features you won't use.
Per-seat pricing adds up
Hyperping charges per team member on top of the base price. A 5-person team can easily double the bill. Uptrack uses flat-rate pricing — add your whole team without worrying about the invoice.
Free tier checks every 3 minutes
Hyperping's free plan has a generous 20 monitors, but checks only run every 3 minutes with just 3 days of history. A lot can happen in 3 minutes, and 3 days isn't enough to spot patterns.
Feature-rich but complex
Browser checks, API monitoring, on-call — Hyperping packs a lot in. But if you just need reliable uptime monitoring with fast checks and good alerts, the extra complexity doesn't help.
What Uptrack does differently
- 30-second checks on every plan including free. Hyperping requires their $24/mo Essentials plan for 30s.
- Flat-rate pricing with no per-seat charges. Hyperping bills per team member.
- $5/mo for 30 monitors vs Hyperping's $24/mo for 20 monitors.
- 30-day data retention on free vs Hyperping's 3 days.
- Alert confirmation with consecutive checks. Reduces false positives without adding delay.
- MCP integration for managing monitors from AI tools. Not available on Hyperping.
Uptrack might not be for you
We believe honesty builds more trust than claiming to be the best at everything.
- If you need browser checks (Playwright-based synthetic monitoring), Hyperping has this built in. Uptrack focuses on HTTP/TCP monitoring.
- If you need 20+ free monitors, Hyperping offers 20 on free vs our 5.
- If you need built-in on-call scheduling with phone call alerts, Hyperping has a more complete incident management suite.
- If you need PagerDuty or Microsoft Teams integrations, Hyperping supports these natively.
