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

Hoppla
vs Uptime Robot.

Probably the most-used uptime checker out there, and it's genuinely good at the one thing it does: is the site up or not. The catch is that's about all it does.

WHY SWITCH TO HOPPLA

One tool, one bill, one alert stream.

We bundle what Uptime Robot does with 11+ other checks. Same monitor, same timeline.

  • 19 check types on one monitor: uptime, SSL, DNS, cron, broken links, Lighthouse, security headers and more. One dashboard, one bill.
  • Every failed uptime check gets re-run from a second EU region before anything pages you. Germany saw it, Finland agreed, then your phone goes off.
  • Branded status pages free on every plan, on your own domain from Starter. A confirmed outage opens an incident there on its own.
  • On-call schedules and escalation are built in, not bolted on. The right person gets woken, the next one if they don't.
  • Full REST API and webhooks, so you can wire monitors into whatever you already run.
WHERE UPTIME ROBOT FALLS SHORT

The gaps you'd be living with.

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

  • On the free plan uptime is the whole product; SSL expiry, DNS and heartbeats start at Solo. Broken-link crawling and Lighthouse aren't there on any plan.
  • No Lighthouse, so a page can be "up" and crawling, and you'd never know from the green dot.
  • Status pages exist, but your own domain starts at Solo and removing their branding needs the €35/mo Team plan.
  • No on-call schedules or escalation. An alert fires, and who picks it up at 3am is your problem to sort out.
  • No server agent. CPU, RAM and disk are outside its world.
