You already wear enough hats

Every interruption
takes you off the roadmap.

The outage is only part of the cost. There’s the lost focus, the customer doubt and the time spent piecing it all together.

01 / THE CUSTOMER TICKET

“Is it down,
or is it just me?”

You learn about the problem from someone who pays you. Now you’re investigating and reassuring them at the same time.

Get an earlier signal to act on.
02 / THE FALSE ALARM

You wake up.
Nothing’s wrong.

One noisy probe pulls you out of your evening. Enough false alarms and the next real one gets harder to take seriously.

Verify the failure before escalating.
03 / THE MISSED RENEWAL

A small deadline.
A very public problem.

An expired certificate or domain can make a working product look abandoned. It’s one more task to remember when you’re doing everything.

Turn expiry into a planned task.
Make room for the work that matters

Know what needs
your attention.

Bring the signals around your product into one place. Give yourself a clear path from something failing to knowing what to look at.

01

A second view before the alert.

A failed uptime check is verified from another region. That helps separate a service issue from a single-location connection problem.

02

Context when you need to act.

See the affected service and failed request details. Start the investigation with something more useful than “it’s down.”

03

Reminders before the deadline.

Certificates warn at a threshold you set (30 days by default). Domains warn at 14 days and turn critical at 7, both adjustable. Put renewal on the calendar.

Explore uptime monitoring

Check intervals describe how often scheduled checks run. They are not a guarantee of detection or notification time, and verification does not eliminate every false alert.

Fictional service and incident.

Keep customers in the loop

A clear update.
A little more
room to fix it.

When something breaks, customers need a place to look. A status page makes the affected service and your updates visible while you work on the problem.

  • Give customers one place to follow service status.
  • Publish incident updates under your product’s identity.
  • Keep the conversation clear through recovery.

Free includes one status page. Custom status-page domains are available from Starter.

Start with the gaps that hurt

Watch the things
customers depend on.

You don’t need to turn every check into a project. Begin with the services and deadlines that keep your product running.

Is the product reachable?

Monitor availability and catch failed requests.

Uptime monitoring

Will customers see a security warning?

Watch certificate health and approaching expiry.

SSL monitoring

Could a renewal take the site offline?

Keep domain expiry dates in view.

Did that scheduled job actually run?

Use heartbeats to spot a missing check-in.

A small setup for a busy founder

Bring one product.
Build a routine around it.

Start with your most important service. Check the setup before relying on the alerts.

01

Add your URL.

Bring the product’s public endpoint into view. Review the checks and interval for the coverage you need.

02

Choose where to hear.

Connect an available notification channel and verify it reaches you. Keep the first response simple.

03

Give customers a place to look.

Set up your status page and decide how you’ll communicate an incident before the next one arrives.

Already using another tool?

Switch with a
comparison in hand.

Import your monitors from one of eight tools, then run Hoppla alongside your current tool for 24 hours or 7 days. Review the imported setup, then decide when to switch.

Monthly prices shown. Hobby is €86 when paid yearly (€7.17/month). Every paid plan starts with a 14-day free trial. All prices are total prices. No VAT is charged or shown, under the German small-business rule (§ 19 UStG). See the pricing page for the full comparison.

A few practical questions

Clear answers.
Then back to building.

Is Free a trial?

No. The planned Free tier has no expiry date and includes five monitors, 60-second checks, one public status page and seven days of history. Hoppla is currently in early access; joining the list does not mean immediate access.

How does a second region help?

A failed uptime check is verified from another region before escalation. This helps reduce alerts caused by a single-location connection problem. It does not guarantee that every alert is a real outage, or that a failure is detected the moment it starts.

Can I use my own status-page domain?

Custom domains are available from Starter. Free includes one public status page and Hobby includes two. The pricing comparison lists those allowances side by side.

Where do the alerts go? Is there SMS?

Free and Hobby include email, Slack, Discord and webhooks. Starter adds Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty and Telegram, plus on-call schedules and escalation. There is no SMS channel.

Do I need to move everything at once?

No. The importer brings over monitors from eight tools, then runs Hoppla alongside your current tool for 24 hours or 7 days. Check what your provider’s import covers, compare the results and switch when you are ready.

Where is Hoppla hosted?

In the EU. Checks run from Germany and Finland, the two regions in the example above. The security page and privacy policy have the details.
