A StatusCake alternative that also manages the incident
Uptime checks tell you something is wrong. Halvyn also opens one incident per outage, escalates until someone acknowledges it, and keeps a timeline you can use for the postmortem.
When Halvyn is the better fit
- You want incidents, assignees and escalation next to your monitors
- You also monitor cron jobs, databases, DNS records, domains or SSL expiry
- You want a public status page driven by the same checks
- You prefer a flat price per plan over paying per add-on
When to stay with StatusCake
- You only need a few simple checks and are happy with your current setup
What you get with Halvyn
One incident per outage
Repeated failures roll into a single incident with a timeline, instead of a flood of duplicate alerts.
Blip recheck
A failed check is re-run within the same cycle before it counts, and an incident opens only after consecutive failures — a single network blip never pages anyone.
Escalation until acknowledged
Email, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, Google Chat, webhooks, SMS, voice calls and on-call rotations — with one-click acknowledge links in every alert.
Incident management
Investigating → identified → monitoring → resolved states, assignees, comments, SLA timers per severity and postmortems.
Public status pages
Uptime bars, live incidents and manual updates on a page you can put on your own domain.
Maintenance windows
Checks keep running during planned work but alerts stay quiet, so your history stays complete.
SLOs and monthly SLA reports
Track objectives per monitor and email an uptime report to owners every month.
Flat pricing
One price per plan, with every check type on paid plans (browser checks on the higher plans) — no per-host, per-check or per-feature metering.
