Spectate and Hyperping
Is Spectate cheaper than Hyperping?
For 50 monitors and 5 people, they cost about the same: €40 a month billed yearly on Spectate Team, about $38 on Hyperping Essentials with two extra seats. Spectate includes unlimited members, 5 status pages, 2,500 subscribers and private pages at that price.
Can I import my monitors from Hyperping?
There is no importer. Recreating a monitor takes a minute or two, and help@spectate.net can help with a longer list.
Does Spectate have browser checks or cron monitoring?
No. Spectate checks HTTP(S) with keywords, ping, TCP, DNS, SMTP, IMAP and POP3, and takes a screenshot when an HTTP(S) monitor goes down. If you rely on browser checks or cron healthchecks, Hyperping covers those.
Are both companies in the EU?
Yes. Hyperping is based in Paris and Spectate in the Netherlands. Spectate bills in euros, with VAT handled.
