VS / Head-to-head. Read the honest version.

Hoppla
vs Oh Dear.

The all-in-one tool that came out of the Laravel community, and it's a good one. It's been around longer than us and the polish shows. You just pay for it.

WHY SWITCH TO HOPPLA

One tool, one bill, one alert stream.

We bundle what Oh Dear does with 11+ other checks. Same monitor, same timeline.

  • €29/mo for the same 50 monitors. That's 80% off the bill, same checks.
  • Server agent watches CPU, RAM and disk on the same box you're already monitoring
  • On-call rotations and escalation built in. If the first person sleeps through it, the next one gets paged.
  • Security headers, mixed content and DNS blacklists checked on the same monitor as uptime and SSL
  • White-label the whole thing (brand, domain, SMTP) and resell it to your clients, with the reseller plan
WHERE OH DEAR FALLS SHORT

The gaps you'd be living with.

Oh Dear is fine at its niche. But here's what it leaves on the table.

  • €149/mo for 50 sites where Hoppla is €29. That's €1,440 a year you don't get back.
  • No server agent, so CPU, RAM and disk live in some other tool
  • No on-call or escalation, so a missed alert is just a missed alert
  • No security-header, mixed-content or DNS-blacklist checks alongside the core set
  • Fewer places to send an alert than Hoppla
