Our clear limits
No vague caps. If you need a thousand monitors, on-call phone trees, or Playwright journeys, Hyperping (or another suite) is the better fit.
- HTTP and TCP checks only (no Playwright, RUM, or transaction scripts)
- 1-minute or 5-minute intervals (not sub-minute)
- Email alerts only today (no SMS, phone, or Slack yet)
- Public status pages coming soon (not shipping today)
- Free launch tier while we gather feedback (not a 1,000+ monitor enterprise suite)

Honest comparison

- Status pages that feel like part of the same product as your monitors
- On-call and faster intervals on paid tiers
- Useful for SaaS teams who owe customers a public truth page during incidents
Where CalmCanary feels different
- Leading with calm checks for people shipping AI apps, not a status-page builder first
- Founder access, Discord, early features, and white-glove onboarding
- 1-minute HTTP/TCP free in early access while status pages are still on the way

FAQs
Is CalmCanary a Hyperping status page alternative?
Not yet. Coming soon. Hyperping wins there today.
Do you match Hyperping's free 20 monitors?
CalmCanary is a focused HTTP/TCP product on a free launch tier, not a volume race. If you need dozens of monitor types, sub-minute checks, or a large free allotment today, Hyperping's free tier may fit better. Ask us if you're unsure whether your monitor count fits early access.
SMS / phone?
Hyperping paid plans emphasize multi-channel including phone; CalmCanary is email-only for now.
