SiteGuardian vs Hyperping. When a status page is part of what you buy.
Hyperping is the European uptime + on-call + status-page product. Four named tiers in USD: Free $0 (20 monitors, 5-min), Essentials $24/mo annual (50 monitors, 30-sec), Pro $74/mo annual (100 monitors, 30-sec), Business $249/mo annual (1000 monitors, 20-sec) — and a public status page + custom domain on every paid tier. SiteGuardian is the simpler paid product for the founder who only wants one loud email per outage.
- Hyperping ships a public status page with custom domain on every paid plan. SiteGuardian deliberately does not.
- Per-URL slow threshold is a SiteGuardian default. Hyperping ships a global response-time check only.
- Hyperping’s paid cadence is 30-sec (Essentials + Pro) and 20-sec (Business) — faster than SiteGuardian Pro’s 1-min.
- Hyperping Free ships 20 monitors on a 5-min cadence. SiteGuardian has no free tier at all.
- Plain dollars on SiteGuardian. Hyperping prices in USD too, but the company sits in the EU and stores customer data in EU data centers.
- Built for one founder, one inbox, one storefront.
When Hyperping is the right fit
Hyperping is the right fit when you need a public status page with custom domain, when 30-second or 20-second cadence matters, or when the 20-monitor free tier is enough to start.
When SiteGuardian is the right fit
SiteGuardian is the right fit when 4+ URLs matter and the price should be flat USD, when per-URL slow thresholds matter, and when a status page is not on the buying list.
Quick answer
SiteGuardian vs Hyperping, in one paragraph.
SiteGuardian wins when 4+ URLs and four URL-side checks (broken-link coverage, checkout, forms, SSL expiry) matter; Hyperping wins when a public status page with custom domain is part of the buying criteria. Hyperping is a European uptime + on-call + status-page product on a 4-tier USD ladder: Free $0 (20 monitors, 5-min cadence, 1 basic status page), Essentials $24/mo annual (50 monitors, 30-sec cadence, custom-domain status page), Pro $74/mo annual (100 monitors, 30-sec cadence, 3 status pages, phone-call alerts), Business $249/mo annual (1000 monitors, 20-sec cadence, 10 status pages, SAML SSO). SiteGuardian does not run a free tier; it ships every-minute probes on Pro ($39/mo) with broken-link coverage, checkout-failure monitoring, form-failure monitoring, and per-URL slow thresholds on every paid plan, in one loud email, with three flat tiers in USD. Pick SiteGuardian when one price and four URL-side checks in USD beat the EU-paid status page; pick Hyperping when the status page is on the buying list and 30/20-sec cadence is the deciding factor.
What is SiteGuardian vs Hyperping?
SiteGuardian is a paid URL-side monitor with one loud email per outage and three flat tiers in USD. Hyperping is a European uptime + on-call + status-page product on a 4-tier USD ladder — Free $0 (20 monitors, 5-min cadence, 1 basic status page), Essentials $24/mo annual (50 monitors, 30-sec cadence, custom-domain status page), Pro $74/mo annual (100 monitors, 30-sec cadence, 3 status pages), Business $249/mo annual (1000 monitors, 20-sec cadence, 10 status pages). The two overlap on uptime; SiteGuardian adds the four URL-side checks (broken-link coverage, checkout, forms, SSL expiry) Hyperping does not run out of the box.
Is Hyperping better than SiteGuardian?
Hyperping is better when a public status page with custom domain on every paid plan is part of the buying criteria, when 30-second (Essentials/Pro) or 20-second (Business) cadence matters, or when the EU-paid billing posture fits the storefront. SiteGuardian is better when one loud email and four URL-side checks in USD beat a status page you have to read.
Which is cheaper for one storefront?
Hyperping Free is $0 for 20 monitors on a 5-minute cadence. SiteGuardian Starter is $19 a month for one site and ten URLs. Hyperping Essentials is $24/mo annual ($29/mo monthly); Hyperping Pro is $74/mo annual ($89/mo monthly); Hyperping Business is $249/mo annual ($299/mo monthly). Across twelve months of paid use with the four URL-side checks, SiteGuardian Pro is the simpler pick at 50 URLs; Hyperping Free is the pick when 20 monitors and a basic status page are enough.
Does Hyperping monitor checkout failures?
No. Hyperping is an HTTP-ping / browser-script product. It will tell you when your checkout URL returns 5xx, and it lets you record a Playwright browser-check, but it does not ship a dedicated checkout-path probe or a dedicated form-path probe out of the box and does not crawl for broken links. SiteGuardian probes the checkout URL on the same cadence as your uptime checks and emails you when it goes slow or returns errors, and does the same for forms and broken links.
Does Hyperping have a free tier?
Yes — Hyperping Free ships 20 monitors on a 5-minute cadence and a single basic status page. Paid Hyperping Essentials is $24/mo annual ($29/mo monthly) for 50 monitors at 30-second cadence with a custom-domain status page; Pro is $74/mo annual ($89/mo monthly); Business is $249/mo annual ($299/mo monthly). SiteGuardian does not run a free tier; it is paid from the first URL at $19 a month for Starter.
