Phare is a modern alternative to HetrixTools, with reliable uptime monitoring, incident management, and status pages.
“HetrixTools is a solid uptime monitoring tool with a proven track record. It’s a bit old school, but it does the job well and is super affordable.”

* Phare does not make enough money to buy swag hats, so I made this one with MS paint.

“Phare provides a nice and clean UI, actually the best that I have seen for a monitoring tool so far. But you got many more features, like a status page with custom domain, own alert rules and alerting from different regions.”

Most of them are great, some arguably better than Phare, but when it comes to vibe they all fall short.
