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

Hoppla
vs PagerDuty.

Heavyweight incident response and on-call. It's the standard for big ops teams, and priced like it. But it doesn't monitor anything itself.

WHY SWITCH TO HOPPLA

One tool, one bill, one alert stream.

We bundle what PagerDuty does with 9+ other checks. Same monitor, same timeline.

The monitoring and the paging live in the same place, with no plumbing between two tools
Priced per monitor, not per person. Five seats on Starter, unlimited from Pro.
Paste a URL and you're monitoring in minutes
On-call schedules and escalation policies are part of the product
Nothing to wire up. Hoppla detects the outage and pages on-call itself.

WHERE PAGERDUTY FALLS SHORT

The gaps you'd be living with.

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

Doesn't watch your site itself. You feed it from another tool.
Per-seat pricing climbs fast once the on-call list grows
Schedules, escalation rules, services: there's a learning curve
More machine than most small and mid-size teams will ever use
You still pay for uptime, SSL and DNS monitoring somewhere else
