Hyperping
Hyperping suits small teams that want 30-second checks, on-call schedules and a branded status page at about $24 a month. Alerts reach SMS, phone, Slack, Teams, webhooks and PagerDuty. The catch is that Hyperping holds no SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification of its own, and browser checks run only every 5 minutes.
Better Stack Uptime
Better Stack Uptime suits small teams that want fast checks, on-call scheduling and phone and SMS alerts in one product. One licence includes unlimited phone and SMS alerts, Slack and Teams alerts, and one status page. The catch: each person who needs Uptime access needs a paid licence, and more status pages and monitors cost extra.
