An UptimeRobot alternative for teams that need to respond, not just get pinged
Knowing a site is down is step one. Halvyn also opens one incident per outage, tracks who is on it, escalates until someone acknowledges and keeps a timeline for the postmortem.
When Halvyn is the better fit
- You want incident states, assignees, comments and SLA timers next to your monitors
- You need escalation through Slack, Teams, SMS, voice calls and on-call rotations
- You monitor databases (Postgres, MySQL, SQL Server, Redis, MongoDB), DNS records or multi-step browser flows
- You want failures confirmed from a second region before anyone is paged
When to stay with UptimeRobot
- You only need a handful of simple HTTP checks and email alerts
- Your team is already happy with its current alerting 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
Every check type on every paid plan, one price per plan — no per-host, per-check or per-feature metering.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I move my monitors over from UptimeRobot?
- Yes — create the same URLs as HTTP monitors in Halvyn. Most teams run both side by side for a week, then switch alerts over.
- Does Halvyn have a free plan?
- Yes. The free-forever plan needs no credit card and covers HTTP checks; every paid plan includes every check type.
